Have you? I searched the cygwin, cygwin-xfree, and cygwin-apps
mailing list archives for ddd, read all messages from you, back
2 years on the cygwin list and for all time on the other two, and
I see no veto from you for ddd.
Where should I have looked?

Nowhere else. I thought I'd vetoed this previously. I guess I hadn't. I'm on the fence on this one. I am not very interested in accepting any package which could conceivably increase my own packaging burdens, i.e., if a problem in ddd (or cgdb) requires a change to gdb then I don't want to have to worry about that. -- Please use the resources at cygwin.com rather than sending personal email.

As you've quoted cgdb in this statement, I thought I might as well respond :) There is no Cygwin-specific code in cgdb - all patches I made were to the configury. IMHO, an interface to a program should never require a change to the program it is an interface to. I see no reason why gdb would have to change for the benifit of cgdb, and I surely won't promote such an idea. (If, however, cgdb reveals a problem in gdb that is definitely not cgdb's fault, we're talking about something different altogether - but that would be bugs, not missing features). IMHO, if a problem in cgdb required a change in gdb, there's something wrong with cgdb and it should be fixed - on cgdb's side. That would not be something you'd have to worry about :) rlc -- To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. -- Elbert Hubbard -- 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/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Richard, FWIW, I think #3 was the main gotcha. #2 is also relevant, as the poster that started this thread seemed to not have XFree86-devel installed. I doubt #1 matters, though.

I believe you vetoed cgdb (as Ronald Landheer-Cieslak mentioned already). If you did, I apologize. If not, I'm assuming you're planning to. May I inquire why you propose to veto this package? FWICS, there are some clear advantages to using DDD over insight in some contexts (e.g., insight is a frontend for gdb only, whereas DDD handles other debuggers, as stated on the list recently; insight is a Win32 app, whereas DDD is an X app; possibly others). FWIW, I'd vote for it. In any case, this discussion is moot until someone volunteers to maintain it and posts a package proposal to cygwin-apps. Perhaps this needs to be continued on that list once this happens, unless you've already decided to veto the package no matter what.
