Name        : mingw-bzip2
Product     : Fedora 17
Version     : 1.0.6
Release     : 1.fc17
URL         : http://www.bzip.org/
Summary     : MinGW port of bzip2 file compression utility
Description :
Bzip2 is a freely available, patent-free, high quality data compressor.
Bzip2 compresses files to within 10 to 15 percent of the capabilities
of the best techniques available.  However, bzip2 has the added benefit
of being approximately two times faster at compression and six times
faster at decompression than those techniques.  Bzip2 is not the
fastest compression utility, but it does strike a balance between speed
and compression capability.

This package contains development tools and libraries for use when
cross-compiling Windows software in Fedora.

Update Information:

- Update to 1.0.6
- Export all symbols using the cdecl calling convention instead of
stdcall as it is also done by various other downstream distributors
(like mingw.org and gnuwin32) and it resolves various autoconf and
cmake detection issues
- Added -static subpackages
