Texinfo doesn't have an INSTALL.REPO file or something to that effect. README-hacking might be it, but it seems to be notes by developers for themselves. Gavin's call, I'd say. > Maybe the biggest issue is that the build process requires wait.h which > is part of msys2-runtime-devel. Why on Earth is a system header included only in msys2-runtime-devel? Also, is msys2-runtime-devel about building MSYS2 programs or MinGW programs? If the latter, it shouldn't be needed for your attempts to build a MinGW port.
