Sounds to me like we need to consider extending the setup.ini format (and, by extension, the setup.hint format) to include an optional field: popup: This package is a significant change from the previous release. Please check <a href="http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2007-02/">the mailing list</a> for the related announcement <b>before</b> continuing. Or something like that. Note that we cannot provide a direct link to the actual announcement because that's a catch-22: you need to upload the new package before you announce, but if the uploaded setup.hint needs the URL of the announcement then you're out of luck. But a link to the correct *month*'s archive should be good enough. -- Chuck -- 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/
