Could we have the net releases in an rpm format?

Could we have the net releases in an rpm format?

[Christian Jönsson]

I was just wondering if ti would be a good thing (tm)
to have the net releases of cygwin in an other binary
format than what we have now?

My mind goes thinking rpm format or something
similar. Something that keeps track of what is
installed and does provide a "neat" update
facility...

Anyway, just my $.02 :-)

Cheers,

I'm not that familiar with the process of having a whole
system such as cygwin under rpm (or the like). I do realise
that there are quite some extra work to be done. Perhaps
this is simply not feasible for now.

Does anyone have an idea of how this could be done
"semi-automatic", i.e., starting with cygwin-1.1.0 and its
binary and src tarballs?
