gcc: expat package update to 2.2.10-1 and zst compression?!?

[dionysius]

URL http://repo.msys2.org/mingw/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-expat-2.2.9-1-any.pkg.tar.xz is not valid

Hi, couldn't install gcc because package ...2.2.9-1...tar.xz is no longer available. I've updated it to 2.2.10-1, but the file extension is tar.zst!? Do we support that?

While at it, I was looking through all the files. The same issue also with:

• gettext
• libiconv
• pkg-config
• zlib

[dionysius]

Just found matching issue #1752, I have to add 2 more i686 updates, one second

[dionysius]

done, those two i686 packages according to the issue has been added as well

and zst compression?!?

zst is not supported by scoop's decompression functionality currently, thus zst-related updates will not be merged until the support launch, there is a hanging PR waiting for discussions and reviews.

For the time being, I suggest using alternative mingw/gcc packages like nuwen-mingw-gcc, winlibs-mingw, or llvm-mingw (LLVM based). The difference between these variants is explained here.

Thank you, one can come back to this PR once the support has been added. So far I helped as far as I could.
