If someone wants to make something generally available it is fairly easy to get it included into the cygwin distribution itself. I don't see any reason to encourage alternate ways of distributing software when we have an acceptable way to distribute it already. That said, however, there isn't anything stopping somebody from creating a mailing list and advertising it on the cygwin web site. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
