Hi Erik,
the new mingw guidelines seem to create a bit of a migration issue;
since the source package name changes, there probably needs to be new
repositories created for all mingw32 packages for f16+
Is there going to be a mass migration of some sort? or do we need to
re-review all packages?
And how am I going to request a new package repository with different
names for <=f15 and >=f16?
The problem right now is that the new guidelines seem to confuse Jason
Tibbitts to the point where he refuses SCM requests...

Hi Thomas,
I just replied to the review ticket about the current situation.
With regard to your question about migration: there isn't any clear plan
yet to mass-rename all mingw32-* packages. According to the regular
proces we've got to file rename requests for all mingw32-* packages and
have them re-reviewed. But as we're close to 100 different mingw32-*
packages this isn't really a feasible method. Perhaps we can ask FeSCO
to give us an exception so we can mass-rename all mingw32-* packages
without having to get everything through the review proces again.
Kind regards,
Erik van Pienbroek
