I used [ANNOUNCEMENT] simply because I saw the tag on other announcements. Some people might have filters based on this exact subject line tag; inventing a different, similar tag would evade those filters, possibly to someone's chagrin. I apologize to people who were curious about this, yet then disappointed to discover that it's something other than a program that they can just install under Cygwin and then use. Also, sorry if I broke any automated process which relies on these specially formatted subject lines matching official packages. I will remember to refrain from using the tag in the future. (which could easily be well over a year from now; whenever is the next time I sync up with Cygwin mainline.) -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Cygnal 2.8.99.97.
I didn't mind hearing about Cygnal, even if it is not official. I think we do pretty well as we stand about keeping the list focused. The occasional spam gets through, but not so many that I get concerned.

Sorry, it was not obvious to me that this was *NOT* an official announcement, Cygnal is *NOT* a Cygwin package, and should *NOT* have been posted with that subject prefix: that post is deceptive. Could we possibly have sourceware filter or bounce announcement posts with that subject prefix, unless they come from the current maintainer(s), via the cygwin-announce list, or the package update process, or have posts signed with a key or cert, whichever is doable and secure? -- Take care.
