<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi,</p> <p>First of all, thank you for creating the MSYS2 snapshot archive on SourceForge. It’s incredibly valuable for preserving older toolchains and packages.</p> <p>I wanted to ask if it would be possible to provide (or consider creating) an additional snapshot from around 2022, specifically from a point before Windows 7 support was dropped.</p> <p>There are still some legacy environments and constraints where Windows 7 compatibility is required, and having access to a clean, reasonably recent snapshot from that period would make a huge difference for reproducibility and maintenance.</p> <p>I understand creating these snapshots takes effort, so even a one-time archive (without ongoing updates) would already be extremely helpful for many users.</p> <p>Useful: <a href="https://archive.org/details/@insomniator" rel="nofollow">https://archive.org/details/@insomniator</a></p> <p>Thanks again for your work and for considering this request.</p></div>
