That said - with all the current changes for categories and dependencies and the reliance of setup on setup.ini and setup.hint it would appear that the days of setup simply picking up packages out of the directory and installing them is probably past. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
