There are two reasons for this question: 1) PHP library and application installer I am developping a PHP library installer based on RPM. Presently, if no RPM= =20 solution is available under Cygwin, my installer will only work under Linux. 2) Cygwin packages Could someone explain me what are the benefits of Cygwin packages over RPM.= =20 Do Cygwin packages test dependencies and validate signatures? When a stable= =20 version of KDE 2 is running under Cygwin, will you be able to maintain all= =20 needed dependencies? Any answer is welcome, even a link to a previous discussion.
