90% of our development has been done on Fedora 9 in fact, the source RPMs we have published should work just fine on F9. We're targetting F10/11 for our initial push but its quite possible we'll build them for F9 too once we get stuff through the package review process. If you want to keep up on details, join the fedora mingw mailing list....

I'm actually gonna go one better than Dan and say that I built quite a lot of the mingw32-* packages on Fedora 8. The ones we are building now are all done against Fedora 10 and some of them no longer just install on Fedora 8, in particular I know the C++ ones don't because some fundamental C++ library has changed its soname.

The "official" line is we are supporting RHEL 5 (through EPEL) and Fedora ≥ 10. Anything else that works is luck, or you will have to join the project and help support it yourself.

Rich.
