drop-pacman-package: support MINGW packages and UCRT64#176
Merged
Conversation
This not only clarifies that the package is _uninstalled_, but also mentions _which_ package. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
These have variable package name prefixes; Now, `mingw-w64-` is replaced
with the SDK-specific `${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}` (e.g.
`mingw-w64-clang-aarch64-` for CLANGARM64).

In git-for-windows/git-sdk-64#117, I am starting the MINGW64 -> UCRT64 migration, and therefore I want to target that branch, too, when uninstalling packages. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

Previously, the workflow would only work for packages whose name is unchanged across Git for Windows SDKs, i.e. MSYS packages. However, MINGW packages' names start with a prefix that encodes the architecture. Let's support that via
mingw-w64-<name>, which is auto-expanded to${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-<name>.While at it, also support UCRT64, which is currently developed on the
ucrt64branch of git-sdk-64.
