Correct - when I build coreutils for the cygwin distro, the manifest file is built as part of the cygwin-specific patches that I apply. I'm not sure whether it makes sense to try and upstream something that is so platform specific; on the one hand, it would make out-of-the-box development on cygwin easier; on the other hand, we don't have too many people doing out-of-the-box development (most people rely on the pre-built coreutils in the cygwin distro). -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
