Which repo are the mingw version in? I looked around and did not find
them. I do see the very current Linux version in home:frispete. Thanks
for that pointer.

I think it is more a matter of having the Windows and Linux releases be
the same. Also, I do cross compiling of Windows apps on Linux. It is
really convenient to have the Windows things installed in the Linux file
system. I use the mingw32 packages in OBS for this. Only weirdos like me
install Windows packages on Linux from RPMs. But if you do cross
platform development, it really makes life easier!

Of course, I am not even using PyQt yet. I am in the investigatory
stage. Getting the lay of the land, so to speak.
