Really, I can do without veiled threats. If you are going to ban me or whatever, go ahead and do it. I have brought some constructive criticisms of this project with the hope of starting a discussion around fixing/improving certain issues. Instead I am met with brick wall attitude and threats of being pushed off the mailing list. My suggestion has merit: Debian is no niche operating system and "apt-get" is no niche package manager. To look to them for "how it should be done" or "one way to do it" is not a mistake in my opinion. However I am met with this > And, frankly, I think it's a bad idea to keep a monolithic list of > packages available for people to download anyway. Which is little more than your opinion with no explanation or citations as to why it is a bad idea. If it is such a bad idea, why are these major Linux distros using it? -- 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
