mingw packages arrived! namely:

mingw-binutils
mingw-gcc
mingw-runtime
mingw-runtime-headers
mingw-w32api
mingw-w32api-headers

arrived to devel-extra. a sample use of it:

$ cat Makefile
CC = i386-mingw32msvc-gcc -O2 -Wall -mms-bitfields -mwindows
foo.exe: foo.c
                $(CC) -o $@ $gt;

$ cat foo.c
#include 
int main(void)
{
        printf("hey!\n");
        return(0);
}

$ make
i386-mingw32msvc-gcc -O2 -Wall -mms-bitfields -mwindows -o foo.exe foo.c
$ wine foo.exe
hey!

update: a related article

finally i've got enough time to implement using fakeroot when building in chroot. a simple example about why this is good for us: select a pkg and put the

touch /etc

command to the end of build(). in chroot, this will run without any warning, and your chroot will be messed up. with the current fakeroot method:

touch: cannot touch `/etc/foo': Permission denied
==> ERROR: Build Failed.  Aborting...

yes, that's what we wanted! :)

3 simple commands for vnc'ing in an ssh tunnel (on the server) vncserver (i assume the server is running on :1) (on the client) sudo ssh -2 -l vmiklos -L5901:localhost:5901 server.domain.org and then vncviewer localhost:1

crazy produced the longest gcc4 error i've ever seen :)

just finished generating all the images for the 0.3 release if everything works fine, then those will be the final images

ads @ wiki.fw.org. let's try out this, hopefully we can buy more hardware to the project if this thing will be successfull

as ironiq mentioned above, the spannish translation has been merged :)

the x86_64 build server is on the way. the fixed specs currently are: ASUS A8N-E nForce4 ULTRA Socket 939 Athlon64 AMD ATHLON 64 3000 S939 OEM Venice 512Mb 533MHz DDR2 Brand Dual channel :)

no, i'm not involved in any distro war, but currently we are before arch on distrowatch :) (thx for geekitus for the info)

i've wrote a short hibernation howto to the wiki
