Please note that "make update" is _not_ meant to be used by end users.

Upgrading package versions always requires some testing, and often
requires some hand-work, too. The "make update" mechanism is our
attempt to automate as much as possible of this nasty task. Usually,
a mingw-cross-env developer issues "make update" for all packages
(or just for some subset of it), fixes remaining issues, and uploads
those changes to the repository (or proposes it to the mailing list).

Of course, you are welcome to help us with that task, if you like.

However, if you just want to get a working mingw-cross-env with the
latest roughly checked versions of all packages, a simple "hg pull -u"
is sufficient.


Greets,
