Earlier this evening I submitted an ITP for yasm. I didn't realise at that point that yasm was available in Cygwin Ports - which means that I have probably just trodden on Yaakov's toes, and for that I apologise. Please could someone kindly explain the difference between Cygwin and Cygwin Ports. Why are they kept separate, and under what circumstances could a package migrate between the two? Apologies if I should know this, but there doesn't appear to be mention of it in the Cygwin FAQ. Many thanks in advance for clarifying this, Dave. -- 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
