Note the description of this list from http://cygwin.com/lists.html: cygwin-apps: a subscriber-only list for discussing packaging issues regarding applications that are distributed with the Cygwin DLL. If you are maintaining or volunteering to maintain one of the packages that is distributed with the Cygwin net releases you should be subscribed to this list. This list is intended for discussing solutions. It is not (with one exception) for bug reports, "it would be nice", or "how do I" type of musings. Do not subsccribe to this mailing list to ask questions about packages. Use the main cygwin mailing list for that. > Did Jan send Lapo some source patches, whereup Lapo built a lighttpd > package, > which he posted to http://www.lapo.it/cygwin/lighttpd-1.4.8-1.tar.bz2 (etc), > and which people subsequently have problem using because of "ImageBase > 10000000"? Lapo posted his message and gave the URL so his lighttpd package could be inspected preparatory to being included in the cygwin distribution. I noted a potential problem with how the dlls were built, though unfortunately not until after Lapo's package was uploaded by Christopher. I didn't actually try the package and have a problem. > And then Brian suggested that Lapo rebuild with some additional linker > flags? Yes, to correct the potential problem I noted. > This is how I sense the conversation went, although I couldn't figure out > who Christopher is and what he meant by "uploaded". He's one of the folks who helpfully updates packages on the sourceware server where the cygwin distribution is kept. He was saying he had uploaded the package from Lapo's url to the server from whence it will get mirrored and become available via cygwin's setup.exe program.
