Since msys2/MINGW-packages#24750, the
mingw-w64-gcc-libs
package now has a hard dependency onmingw-w64-tzdata
. That latter package contains, let's say, many files.As a consequence, the
7z
invocation to build MinGit would now fail like this:This is the underlying reason for the recent
git-artifacts
CI failures:Since the new code that makes use of that tzdata explicitly comes with a fall-back to an internal database, let's just skip the tzdata when building MinGit.
