[Replying to LIST only:]

OK, Chuck, how about the items in CygUtils?  Is your copy the "Cygwin
Baseline?" or does that live elsewhere?

Here's an example: XFree86/Cygwin was recently merged into the main XFree
tree.
Now its master is there and I know where to look if I need to investigate
something.

I'm sure some of the "latest" and "contrib" packages are in the same state:
the current
Cygwin is the current main line.  But I don't know where they all live.  Most
at gnu.org?

I'm particularly interested in CVS because my disk is filling up and I can ill
afford to
park every interesting source on it just in case.  Much easier would be simply
to
point at it somewhere else [and let somebody else worry about storing and
maintaining it.]

If there's any way I could help pull such a list together, I'm available.
But, as you see,
I don't yet know where to look.  Some have said that's the least of my
problems ;-)

Thanks.

** O,BTW ** May we know the criteria why some of CygUtils can be in "contrib"
but
not all?  At least, it looks as though that's the case.
