Ooos... upon actually looking at the list of files I realized that you
converted the standard XFree86 tar-gzip files into tar-bz2 files, which
isn't really what we are trying to do here. Chris was asking that the
XFree86 Cygwin-Setup package files be turned into tar-bz2
thanks guys :)
I figured it seemed a little simplistic of a thing to ask. no worries.
Sorry 'bout that.
G'luck Harold. I'm going to free some disk space on my server now.

I can do this -- but what was the outcome of the package name argument?
Was it xfree-foo-4.2.0-1.tar.bz2 or xfree86-... or XFree86-...?
I'll need to modify the znark script accordingly.

Don't bother... I'm already on it. The scripts are modified and I'm just
working on packaging it up.

Ian,
Okay, I've gotten the Cygwin/XFree86 packages to install via Cygwin's
setup.exe, but there is a slight problem: the usr/X11R6/bin, etc.
directories are created relative to the location of setup.exe, not in the
root of the Cygwin installation. Any ideas as to what is causing this?

That sounds fine.
Can I also request that you use a seperate variable for the server version
number? I'd ask that because the server will tend to get updated often
while most of the other packages will never be updated.
I'm really looking forward to these packages

AFAICT, both Red Hat and Debian allow upper/lower case, so there's no

All Debian packages are lower case, of course. TAB completion is a

Let's be real picky:
XFree86-xserv-major.minor-portrelease.tar.bz2 is what is required for
the binary release.
