looks good, except for the man pages. The path should be
/usr/share/man,
not /usr/man. After you've changed that, the package is GTG.
Thank you, I've corrected this and re-uploaded:

Agreed. I posted the ITP for lablgtk2 earlier today. I've now revised

I thought about this, but decided it wasn't important for end-users.

As we discussed a day or two ago, here is a patch that cleans up the
following aspects of the generic build script (today's CVS version):
- Invokes the shell by /bin/sh -e.
- Removes the many superfluous 's, ;'s, and \'s between commands and
at end of lines.
- Removes all of the $STATUS junk
Changes in version 1.2g-4:
- Changed to generic build script method for package building.
- Combined all Cygwin-specific docs (README.Cygwin, NEWS.Cygwin,
autossh.README) into autossh.README.

in $UNISON and then $HOME. This is the Unix behavior.

I want to package and maintain unison-gtk2 for Cygwin. Unison is a file
synchronizer for Unix and Windows. It comes in two interfaces: text and
GTK2. The text-mode version is already packaged for Cygwin in the
unison package. unison-gtk2 is the GTK2 version.
Different versions of Unison won't talk to each other. For example, if
I have version 2.10.2 (current beta) installed on my local Cygwin host,

Thank you,
I'm going to try to build and package screen for Cygwin. It's such a
useful program, I just have to try.
screen 4.0.2 won't compile OOTB in Cygwin:
gcc -c -I. -I.-g -O2 misc.c
misc.c: In function `xsetenv':
misc.c:619: error: too few arguments to function `setenv'
make: *** [misc.o] Error
Do we have a maintainer for termcap? The package doesn't include any
documentation at all, including any mention of a maintainer.
The screen package, which I am working on building, includes some new
termcap entries. I could just have the screen installer append them to
/etc/termcap, but it
I'm the maintainer but the package has been deprecated on UNIX/Linux for
quite some time. You should be using terminfo.
terminfo already includes definitions for screen terminals, so that's no
problem. Are you saying then that I should just ignore the extra termcap
entries for screen,
There is no harm in including them but I really don't think there are
(m)any
programs out there who would take advantage of them.
I'll make a new release today.
OK, thanks. A.
I'll hold off announcing this until after you've released screen,
though. I wouldn't want to get anyone prematurely excited about having
screen available at long last.
Yes, especially since it doesn't work yet. I'll post an update about this
soon. A.
On host #2 with WinXP + Cygwin 1.5.15-1, reattaching fails (There is no
screen to be resumed), and I see

This isn't a socket, which would explain the trouble.
Now here's
This is a bugfix release. It solves a problem with incorrect
interpretation of timestamps after the change to daylight savings time.
This may be the cause of several reports on the cygwin list, of very slow
operation with the -fastcheck option. The unison2.9.* packages are not
affected.
This is a minor enhancement release. The documentation for running
autossh as an NT system service has been clarified in two places.

Unison has a new upstream beta release, version 2.12.0. Each upstream
release unfortunately has to be packaged separately, since different
versions are potentially incompatible and therefore will not talk to each
other.
Cygwin already includes the unison2.9.1, unison2.9.20, and unison2.10.2
