So the curent assesment is : - python - and similar tools can break - is so use rebase to fix it. - rebase is broken - is lets not use it all the time. [so it appears cygwin can always be in broken state - this is not good] And Jason's post was in Feb-2002 - and things have been in this bad state since a long time. Mabe those broken packages now work now? - so this objection can be removed?
