Each MinGW package should depend on mingw32-filesystem >= VERSION where VERSION is the minimum version required. For example, if some feature was added to mingw32-filesystem version 40 in order to support mingw32-foo -- for example, if an extra 'Provides(somedll)' was added to support mingw32-foo -- then mingw32-foo would have: BuildRequires: mingw32-filesystem >= 40 and would stay like that until another feature was added to support mingw32-foo (if that ever happened).
