Well, actually... FWIW, the following (seemingly unrelated) projects at Google Code aim to provide package management for Cygwin: http://code.google.com/p/apt-cyg/ http://code.google.com/p/cyg-apt/ The former is written in bash, the latter in python. I'm not endorsing either as an "official" way of installing packages in Cygwin, but both of them do appear to use setup.ini to resolve package dependencies. -SM -- -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
