This is the Cygwin project. There is only one source for packages. If other projects are using setup.exe and providing their own packages, that's great but please don't ask us to try to support other people's efforts. >It would be handy to see in selection from where package is going to be >downloaded/installed it would ease up things a little bit. Maybe either you or the Cygnome2 project should provide patches to setup to implement your ideas. This really isn't an issue for us but we'll gladly consider changes to setup.exe. 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/
