Let me explain with an example. The libXfixes packages are: (libXfixes3) /usr/bin/cygXfixes-3.dll /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/libXfixes-*.README /usr/share/doc/libXfixes-*/* (libXfixes-devel) /usr/include/X11/extensions/Xfixes.h /usr/lib/libXfixes.* /usr/lib/pkgconfig/xfixes.pc /usr/share/man/man3/* libXfixes3 and libXfixes-devel have category: X11 and external-source: libXfixes. AFAIK (and please correct me if I'm wrong) upset and/or setup require a binary libXfixes package to go alongside the source package, so they are empty. I don't want the empty binary libXfixes to pollute the package list, so I used the _source category for libXfixes so that it's hidden by default. > Don't you have upset available to you already?

But I also need to change 80+ other packages' dependencies, and between it all I'm just being cautious if I make a mistake that you don't get swamped with emails for hours on end. > You already have write permissions to the Cygwin/X web site.
