+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+We have started the process of reviewing and importing packages into
+Fedora.
+
+As each package gets imported into Fedora, we *remove* it from this
+repository.  All further adjustments to the package should be done in
+Fedora CVS, as with any ordinary Fedora package.
+
+We need more reviewers:
+https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=mingw32
+
+Build everything
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ * Install mock
+
+ * Install smock (read smock/README)
+
+ * Download source tarballs and put them in each package directory
+   (see .hgignore and the specfiles for a list).
+
+ * Run ./build-everything-in-mock.sh
+
+ * Build logs are printed to the screen and saved in 'buildall.log'
+
+Package notes
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ ( 1) mingw32-filesystem
+
+      This is the base package containing the filesystem, RPM macros
+      and other stuff that everything depends on.  This is a pure
+      Fedora RPM with no outside dependencies.
+
+ ( 2) mingw32-binutils
+
+      This is just a straight cross-compile of binutils.  It has
+      no BuildRequires beyond what is in basic Fedora already.
+
+ ( 3) mingw32-runtime-bootstrap
+ ( 4) mingw32-w32api-bootstrap
+
+      These are NOT real Fedora packages.  Instead they are BINARY
+      packages which is just needed first time if you are building
+      from scratch.  It contains some Windows binaries and header
+      files which are needed to bootstrap everything, and which
+      would normally be built by the packages below (specifically
+      by mingw32-runtime and mingw32-w32api).
+
+      Note: If you already have MinGW packages installed then you
+      should not build this package.
+
+ ( 5) mingw32-gcc
+
+ ( 6) mingw32-runtime
+ ( 7) mingw32-w32api
+
+      Note that once built and installed, these last two replace the
+      files built from binaries in mingw32-{runtime,w32api}-bootstrap.
+
+Then for the rest, use ./show-build-order.pl which is a script which
+works out the correct order to build packages and will display the
+list of commands that you have to invoke to do this.
+
+(Note that show-build-order.pl doesn't actually build anything - it
+just prints suggested commands).
