The fact that we advertise other people's cygwin efforts doesn't mean that we are automatically opening up the cygwin mailing list to discuss their efforts. I agree, and I never said that they should be sent here. Cygwin Ports is my (very large) private repository of packages which I have built, including the packages that I contribute to the distro. Those packages which aren't (yet) in the distro are usually due to any of the following reasons: 1) unsufficiently tested (like, right now, GNOME 2.12 is already there) 2) "queued up" due to dependencies not yet in the distro 3) not of general interest 4) lack of time When I start seeing interest on these lists for something that I have on Cygwin Ports, that usually pushes me to ITP it; perl-Tk is a recent example. I may do the same for scribus, once the issues with René are worked out. And (before someone asks) wrt to the first scribus thread started by René, I only continued that discussion here since her problem has to do with qt3 itself, which I maintain *within* the distro.

In any case, I'll try to clarify on my website about questions on my packages, etc. Yaakov -- 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/

Btw, while I don't mind an occasional foray into discussing other packages here, this "cygjpeg-62.dll" problem is exactly the kind of discussion that I do not want to see proliferate. We go to some effort trying to get the packages in the cygwin distribution right, with proper dependencies and proper packaging. However, we have no power to fix these kinds of problems in other product distributions and I don't want to see the cygwin lists getting bogged down with attempts to fix problems over which we have no control. 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/

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/

As the number of users is growing may I suggest a mailing list run by cygwin dealing with applications which are contributed? The knowledge users have gets spreads all around different lists and it becomes very hard to find a solution in one list if the problem is caused by some 'minor' change in a program dealed with at some other list. It makes it also easier for users just to track a single list compared to many especially if the new lists are not even known to the avarage user.

Sorry but we don't support scribus in this mailing list. You downloaded the package from some external site. You'd probably be better off asking them for help. I have found this address on this list assuming this is also the central mailing list for all X applications running on cygwin. Aksing there is not possible as they only provide the packages with no signs of support. This gave me the impression that they act as mirror with some beta quality packages in addition to the rest of cygwin. I will try myself and give up in case off no success.
