This is expected to happen late 2022, or early 2023 so definitely affects freeciv-3.1. In fact it might affect even freeciv-3.0 in the sense that it sets the point beyond which we cannot update msys2 in S3_0. I would be in favor of bumping the default minimum (i.e the value that builder can still override even downwards) in S3_1 & master soon already (before alpha3), so that it won't show as a new requirement in the branch later. -- Ticket information of Freeciv project Freeciv Project is hosted on OSDN Project URL: https://osdn.net/projects/freeciv/ OSDN: https://osdn.net URL for this Ticket: https://osdn.net/projects/freeciv/ticket/44286 RSS feed for this Ticket: https://osdn.net/ticket/ticket_rss.php?group_id=12505&tid=44286
