I've had my stuff installed for so long I hadn't thought about it until I was stepping someone else through the process of getting a basic mingw build system setup from scratch, but...
What would it take to have a group added to dnf just to install all the "stuff" you're almost always going to need?
The packaging guidelines page gives you a hint as to what's minimal but that's for people wanting to make additional packages available in Fedora, not for people wanting to know how to setup a development environment...

Thoughts?
Thanks, Richard

I like the idea. What you're looking for is how to add a new group to the comps file.

Looks like a "mingw32" group already exists, but this is obviously out of date. Time to update it!
Any packages that should also be included besides the ones mention in the wiki? (Whether required or optional?)
Like mingw32-nsis?
Thanks, Richard
Ok, now I'm confused... What's the purpose of having a group that's not user visible?
Thanks, Richard
