Basically The general rule for cygwin apps appears to be that the first messgage in a thread has to be about creation of new packages, or discussions about packaging policy. (Also requests for uploads go to that list). Then the disussion can drift a little to more general cygwin development, but should still be in the context of a specific package. Also, discussion of the development of setup.exe usually takes place on cygwin-apps, because that is the designated list for discussing bugs in setup.exe -- 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/
