Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-IsSubscribed: yes Mailing-List: contact cygwin-help AT cygwin DOT com; run by ezmlm List-Id: List-Subscribe: List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: , Sender: cygwin-owner AT cygwin DOT com Mail-Followup-To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Delivered-To: mailing list cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Can someone with some official Cygwin standing tell me how the Cygwin package names correspond with the "official" names of the packages, chosen by the package owners? In other words, how are the Cygwin package names determined? (My hope is that the "official" name is used, possibly with "cygwin" added to it in some form.) I'm asking because I'm finding Cygwin packages that contain no license information, at least in the compiled form (e.g. gawk, libiconv2). So I'm thinking that in such cases, I can modify my Cygwin license-finding script to look up the package by name on freshmeat and try to find the license from there. But that is pointless if the Cygwin package name may have the same name as a freshmeat package, but is in fact some other software.
