Python

Major Version Upgrade Workflow

  • Create a new branch at https://github.com/msys2-contrib/cpython-mingw for the new version
  • Copy the existing PKGBUILD to a "python3.x" and set _primary_python=no
  • Test the new version (Windows 7 support?)
  • Maybe wait for 3.x.1 / 2 for the initial issues to be ironed out
  • Figure out which packages need to be rebuild:
  • Try to update packages that need to be rebuild to get potential Python related fixes.
  • Move the PKGBUILD over to mingw-w64-python and make it the default one and rebuild all relevant packages
  • Let autobuild handle the rest
