I don't think I want to set aside that much disk space for this. Just to set the ground rules: While I see it as inevitable that there will be a certain amount of interaction required from me, I've said on multiple occasions that I have little interest in this scheme. If I'm convinced that there is enough interest and commitment, I'll take some time to give people web page access and (if it is really needed) CVS access. However, I'm not going to change the way that I release the cygwin DLL currently and I'm not going to allow changes in the current release process to accommodate this new method. In short, the goal is for you to accommodate me, not the other way around. This is probably obvious to some but I thought I'd better say it early so I'd have a URL to refer to later. I really don't think this is a one man job, either. This is a lot of work. I am not sure that anyone appreciates how much work it is. 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/
