What Hacker News says
2 sourcesNote that the Scoop project is pretty much dead.
The Scoop GCC manifest (and everything that depends on it) has been broken since January. GCC for Windows is now distributed using an unsupported archive format, and development to support that format has stalled out.
https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/issues/1752
Someone made a workaround patch using a different GCC mirror, but it's been sitting open for a month.
https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/pull/1933
One of the maintainers seems to be forking the scoop client, but their fork still uses the unmaintained main package bucket.
