A little criticism: If the best you can do is say "most of the times the links are broken or old" and you never provide any *specific* feedback, then the links will probably continue to be broken or old. If you, or anyone notices a problem don't just sigh and shake your head sadly, or pound your fist and kick the dog. Report the problem here so that we can rectify the problem. I don't know why it is so very hard for people to realize that we need details to correct problems. Sure, I could now start testing all of the ported software links individually. Why should I have to duplicate the effort that you've already gone to, though? This is a volunteer effort. You can contribute by providing specific information whether it is for the web site or for the Cygwin packages. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
