msys2-runtime-3.3: build as msys2-runtime on i686

[lazka]

So there is an automated upgrade path and users don't have to manually switch to msys2-runtime-3.3.

@jeremyd2019 does this make sense/help?

[jeremyd2019]

I don't know. Would it be possible to do a conflicts/replaces thing, either on msys2-runtime-3.3, or on this new msys2-runtime against msys2-runtime-3.3, or would that cause issues with pacman?

[lazka]

Ah, sure, like this?

[jeremyd2019]

I'll try to test this today

As I kind of expected, this didn't work:

In some cases, makepkg effectively greps the function for the variable definitions, but in others it relies on their values after running the function. In the former case, it would see the definitions here, but in the latter the values set in package_msys2-runtime-3.3 would have overwritten them. It seems the former is done for making the .SRCINFO and the latter is done for making the binary packages themselves.

pkgname = msys2-runtime
        pkgdesc = Posix emulation engine for Windows
        conflicts = catgets
        conflicts = libcatgets
        conflicts = msys2-runtime-3.3
        replaces = catgets
        replaces = libcatgets
        replaces = msys2-runtime-3.3
        options = !strip
