-Build order & package notes:
+News 2008-11-06
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
- ( 1) mingw-filesystem
+We have started the process of reviewing and importing packages into
+Fedora.
 
-      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.
+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.
 
- ( 2) mingw-binutils
+We need more reviewers:
+https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=mingw32
 
-      This is just a straight cross-compile of binutils.  It has
-      no BuildRequires beyond what is in basic Fedora already.
+Build everything
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
- ( 3) mingw-runtime-bootstrap
- ( 4) mingw-w32api-bootstrap
+ * Install mock
 
-      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 mingw-runtime and mingw-w32api).
+ * Install smock (read smock/README)
 
-      Note: If you already have mingw packages installed then you
-      should not build this package.
+ * Download source tarballs and put them in each package directory
+   (see .hgignore and the specfiles for a list).
 
- ( 5) mingw-gcc
+ * Run ./build-everything-in-mock.sh
 
- ( 6) mingw-runtime
- ( 7) mingw-w32api
-
-      Note that once built and installed, these last two replace the
-      files built from binaries in mingw-{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).
+ * Build logs are printed to the screen and saved in 'buildall.log'
