You will discover, among other things, that we have repeatedly said "somebody needs to port/maintain/contribute the package" and "(ditto) db". Then we ask "Do you want to volunteer?" Then we get silence. --Chuck Jean-Michel POURE wrote: > Le Mercredi 9 Janvier 2002 17:08, vous avez écrit : > >>Jean-Michel, >>On Wed, Jan 09, 2002 at 09:12:22AM +0100, Jean-Michel POURE wrote: >>See the following for my 4.0.2 experiences and patch: >>http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-07/msg00949.html >>Jason >> > > Dear Jason, > > Are there technical problems for not including RPM in the standard Cygwin > packages?
