Harold, Thanks for the sarcasm, but it was hardly warranted. I was simply restating the facts for those who were not involved. Also, it seems that you missed one of the points of that discussion, which was that all things of XFree nature should be discussed on the XFree list, regardless of whether it was released as a dual mode application or as an X-only application.

I was adressing your concerns over which mailing list this should be on, who cares where it is actually located in the release directory. And, according to the mailing lists webpage: "cygwin: a high volume ... There are two exceptions ... questions about the Cygwin/XFree86 project (or any X-related questions for cygwin) should go to the cygwin-xfree mailing list (see below)..." "cygwin-xfree: a list for discussion of all things related to XFree86 on Cygwin (Cygwin/XFree86). If you have questions about how to use, configure, install, build, or develop with Cygwin/XFree86, this is the list for you...." If I were new and read this page, I think it would be safe to assume that this list *is* the appropriate one for discussing this matter. Considiering hew wanted to offer an extension to the ghostscript-x11 package. Ghostscript is *not* in the XFree86 directory because it is a dual-mode application. > Of course, you are still right in pointing out that the > ghostscript-x11 package should be in the XFree86 category. > > However, I was asking where the files were stored, not which > category they will be in.

Ghostscript-x11 is in the same directory as the rest of the ghostscript distribution, which is under /release. Your requirement that all packages that are XFree-related go under /release/XFree86 doesn't make sense. Why should ghostscript be split up and have some parts in /release/ghostscript and others in /release/XFree86/ghostscript? This makes things more complicated then they have to be. Anyhow, your argument that package discussion on this list be limited to packages under /release/XFree86 is contrary to what Chris and others have stated on the other lists and the mailing-list webpage. They claim that any Cygwin/XFree-related discussion should be on this list. His post was regarding cygwin-ghostscript-x11 and cygwin-GSView (x11), which seems to be awefully Cygwin/Xfree-related to me. > The next reply I need is from Jack Larsen. Well you're getting my 2 cents on this anyhow :-). Besides, I answered your query as to where ghostscript-x11 was located.
