So this is not something that we'd consider. >the problem reporting guidelines section in >http://cygwin.com/problems.html doesn't state that the 1.5.x that >you're supposed to put in the beginning of the Subject: is the main >cygwin.dll version number - this might be obvious to non-newbies, but >it wasn't real clear to me at first. That's because it isn't required. We are temporarily putting [1.7] in the beginning of the subject while 1.7 is in beta but there is no requirement that 1.5.25 should be put in the beginning of everything else. You'll note that problems.html does talk about including cygcheck output as an attachment, however. The version of Cygwin is obvious there. cgf -- 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/
