This is my thought also. I don't want to replicate msys2 functionality. I also think it might not answre Rasmus' use case -- if he is having packages installed for him, they might be admin installed, so updating may well not be possible. > How about if we provide official binaries in the form of MSYS2 packages, > alongside the formats we already provide? Two reasons: it's more work for me; and, msys2 already provides packages. What would "official" binaries bring? Phil
