Subject: How can I try a newly build package locally?
Date: Tue, 05 Apr 2016 21:59:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1459893529576-126009.post@n5.nabble.com> (raw)

I'm a maintainer of a program that I'd might like to propose for inclusion in
the Cygwin distribution.

We use CMake so there is a packager available, and it's easy to create a
.bz2 package.

Once I've created the package, how can I try it locally? In Linux this can
easily be done with dpkg, but is there a way to use the Cygwin package
installer so that it picks up a local package?

I've read [the package contribution documentation][1] and related pages but
can't find an answer.

/Thomas
