In keeping with the recent discussion about setting up category info in setup.ini, I'd like to propose a three-pronged method for dealing with the problem. 1) Reorganize the "contrib/latest" directory via category name. We can use this, for now, to get the category types for setup.ini. 2) The program that understands setup.hint currently understands the following keywords: skip prev curr test sdesc ldesc I will be also adding: category depends with, I hope, obvious meanings. 3) I think that we should start adopting the use of a CYGWIN.PKG file in our distributions. This file will essentially be a setup.hint file, although an external setup.hint will take precedence. Step 1 is only a stopgap measure but I think it makes sense to start organizing the tar files in this way, anyway. Especially since contrib and latest have become meaningless. Make sense? cgf
