All of our historically available packages will remain on SourceForge; only a small subset of them have been migrated to OSDN, without update. All new updates will be published on OSDN; they will not be duplicated on SourceForge; which will thus fall behind, over time. To keep current, you must ensure that your local mingw-get installation is set up to read its catalogue from OSDN.net; this is established in $MINGW_ROOT/var/lib/mingw-get/data/profile.xml, if you've configured it, or otherwise in $MINGW_ROOT/var/lib/mingw-get/data: <repository uri="http://osdn.net/dl/mingw/%F.xml.lzma"> That tells mingw-get whence to read its master *catalogue*; however, it does not specify the location of individual *packages*. Within the catalogue, each package has its own entry; each such entry includes a specification of the form: <download-host uri="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/%F"/> for packages which remain on SourceForge; only when a package has been posted on OSDN.net, can we change that package-specific specification, to indicate the new package location: <download-host uri="http://osdn.net/dl/mingw/%F"/> and only when that step has been completed, will the associated package be downloaded from OSDN.net > Also, several items are quite old, I'd like to help updating. Help will always be appreciated; please open a dialogue via mingw****@lists*****, so we may discuss your participation. > specifically, I am working on this: > > https://github.com/gnustep/tools-installers/tree/master/nsis > > specifically getting current openssl, autoconf, console, libz I've already posted an update to libz -- well, it's actually a build of zlib-1.2.11 -- on OSDN.net: https://osdn.net/dl/mingw/zlib-1.2.11-mingw32-port.tar.xz https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/releases/p15700 I still need to update the mingw-get catalogue, to deliver that update. Of the others you mention, console may be tricky, (because we've never distributed it directly), but AFAICT, it doesn't seem to have been updated in aeons anyway; autoconf, and openssl, (among others), are certainly worthy of attention. -- Regards, Keith.
