Subject: [RFC] doc: update required Mingw version
Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2024 15:07:10 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240313220815.20998-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)

Add a required version for mingw. The version is selected is
the version available for Debian oldstable (Bullseye) as listed on:
  https://www.mingw-w64.org/downloads/

The 10.0 version was released in 4/4/2022,
The current upstream version 11.0.

Also drop note about Ubuntu 16.04 because that release is EOL
and the if using a current version of Ubuntu, the package will
not be a problem.
