[galeksandrp]

Discussing with @gep13 there

@galeksandrp @userzimmermann just wanted to touch base on this to see what you guys had decided to do. Thanks!

@gep13 @galeksandrp Hi. I'm fine with your plan. I already merged these changes locally to msys2 branch and will make new releases the next days.

@galeksandrp Do you want to become co-maintainer of the meta package?

Cheers,
Stefan

Perfect. Please let me know if there is anything else that you need help with.

[galeksandrp]

@userzimmermann Did you made new release?

Hi. What do you think about msys2-installer Chocolatey package? I have followed similar concept than @galeksandrp with added uninstall script and few other minor changes. I also plan to release all versions that are available up to date (20150916, 20160205, 20160921, 20161025).

• https://chocolatey.org/packages/msys2-installer/
• https://github.com/yad-repo/choco-msys2-installer/

@gep13 I think @yad-repo package should supersede mine. What do you think?

@galeksandrp
I think the preferred way would be to update the msys.install package (you could perhaps add @yad-repo as a co-maintainer) and change the msys package to a meta package (extract all the existing logic of that into a msys.portable package and having msys package depend on msys.portable (or msys.install if preferred))

That would be the correct naming convention for virtual/meta packages.

Sounds like a plan to me! 👍
