ahh ... then change my suggested to cygwin being the name of the package. -
and I dont like either 1 or 3 all that much in that case... - ofcourse i can
live with either ...
my thoughts are
1 is directory deep - and crowded in a file sense
3 is similarly crowded in a filesense
my way is sort of deep(similarly deep to 1 if installed in usr/src/cygwin
instead of usr/src) ... but not crowded in a file sense... - only a
directory sense
having pristine tarball and patch + other things ... for every package ...
in one directory ... seems way too much file crowding... Personal opinion is
that file crowding is a Lot worse then directory crowding.

#4 (mark 2)
thus i say the following
 -src tarball contains
         <pkgname>/<pristine tarball, without renaming or repacking>
         <okgname>/<patchfile>
         (possibly other stuff in <pkgname>/, if necessary - post install
scripts come to mind)
         <pkgname>/<build script or makefile>
      newly generated bin tarballs placed in <pkgname>/BUILT
      newly generated src tarballs placed in <pkgname>/BUILT

unpacked into usr/src or usr/src/cygwin/ - whichever ... doesnt matter much
from my view.
if it was usr/local/src then definitely cygwin/ ... but since its not ... I
wouldnt care.

yeap ... I can see that now - but I dont like that way either.

*shrug* I will live whatever way gets decided ... but 1 2 and 3 all just
seem ... wrong ... to my naive mind.

Maybe I can at least give another option for both of you to agree on not
likeing ;)
