I didn't look very hard but I didn't immediately see what you make the source
code available.  I see binary rpms but I don't see source rpms.  Am I missing
something?

You also seem to have a fairly nice site setup now.  It's not clear why you'd
want to move to sourceware.

Dear Christopher,

I'm afraid I did not well understood how make available a new packages 
by the cygwin setup.exe program. Reading instructions from 
http://cygwin.com/setup.html It seems mandatory to have both binaries 
and source code files stored on your sourceware.org.
Our intention is to let our compiled gLite services and their related 
source codes (a little bit modified from the main release) available by 
the cygwin setup.exe program.
Am I following a wrong way?
Could you please route me in the right way?

Please let me know,
Best regards,

I was not talking about cygwin.  I was talking about source code.  I didn't see
any way to download the source code from your site.

If you are just talking about getting this package into the Cygwin distribution
then you are talking to the wrong people and using the wrong procedure.  You've
already been to the web page which talks about the right way to handle this.
