I think I worked on (or was familiar with) packages as far back as v16 but I don't remember much about what was in them. It's likely that they just contained the minimum needed to build gcc and gdb, though, since that was cygwin's initial primary focus. Since I remain satisfied with the files in the base category, I see no reason to change. If I was to change, I don't think that the above criteria would make sense for a base category. cgf
