[moving back to cygwin-apps, since this is about packaging issues; no need
to reply to the main list]

According to Angelo Graziosi on 7/19/2007 8:51 AM:

That sounds like a backwards dependency.  Volker, shouldn't it be that
xemacs depends on xemacs-emacs-common, and that xemacs-emacs-common is
standalone?  If you agree, I can change the setup.hints.

I didn't think this was a showstopper for uploading -3, but hope that
Steffen can look into it and release a -4 someday.

That's because of a setup.exe limitation - it does not pick up
dependencies that are not on the same server as the package you are
picking up.  Now that I have uploaded emacs to cygwin.com, that should no
longer be an issue (but in the meantime, Steffen could have worked around
that by copying a few more packages to his site).

Again due to setup.exe weirdness when pulling to setup.ini from different
servers with different ideas about what version should be experimental.
