MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-SW-Source: 2016-04/txt/msg00108.txt.bz2 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 [1]: https://cygwin.com/setup.html -- View this message in context: http://cygwin.1069669.n5.nabble.com/How-can-I-try-a-newly-build-package-locally-tp126009.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
