Thanks for the information. I used the same source URL as Fedora [1] - in fact, I just translated Fedora's 'spec' file into 'cygport' form. Obviously, a new maintainer is free to pick whichever source of the Moby dictionary that he or she wishes. Note, however, that in the Gutenberg mirror, the files have all been renamed meaning that Fedora's 'typos' patch won't apply. Dave.

I believe you > have a sourceware shell account which should work for that? OK, no problem. Yes, it used to work for push too. If I have a sourceware shell account, I'm not aware of it. Could you send me the details offline? Thanks, Andrew

Hi Mark I assume you have the current dir in the PATH dos2unix: Datei build.bash wird ins Unix-Format umgewandelt … /pub/temp/engauge-10.7.12-1.src/engauge.cygport: Zeile 29: build.bash: Kommando nicht gefunden. It is better to replace build.bash with ./build.bash except that it looks fine for me. Good To Go Please provide a ssh key as per https://cygwin.com/package-upload.html

I'm not sure this used to work as a push URL (or should)? I believe you have a sourceware shell account which should work for that?

The Moby word list is also part of the Cygwin scowl package from http://wordlist.aspell.net/ https://github.com/en-wl/wordlist -- Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
