I see that it's included in the cygwin package list, and is installable via the cygwin setup/installer. However..... I also see that the package doesn't initialize correctly (when you run dselect, things don't happen as I expect). Anyway, I would like to see this aspect of cygwin enhanced and taken forward, but I would also like to get some more information (such as, is there a debian package repository somewhere for cygwin packages), what is the agreed upon architecture for the debian packages, etc, etc. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
