I really like the idea of the MinGW version of libraries and other things on openSUSE that is available in OBS. I am planning on moving some of the Windows libs that I maintain to using the ones in OBS. However, (there had to be a however, right?) I am a bit confused: There are on OBS versions of, say, libtiff, for openSUSE and for Windows. Interestingly, there is a MinGW repository for each release of openSUSE. For example, windows:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_11.2 I would think that the reason for having different versions of the MinGW repos is that each can contain a version that matches the version installed in the corresponding openSUSE release. Alas, that is not the case. For example, on openSUSE 11.2, libtiff is at version 3.8.2, while the MinGW version is 3.9.4. This is the case for many, perhaps even most, libraries. If the version in the windows:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_XX.X directory has nothing to do with the version of that library installed in openSUSE_XX.X, why are there version for each openSUSE release? -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
