Subject: How can I try a newly build package locally?
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I'm a maintainer of a program that I'd might like to propose for inclusion in
the Cygwin distribution.

We use CMake so there is a packager available, and it's easy to create a
.bz2 package.

Once I've created the package, how can I try it locally? In Linux this can
easily be done with dpkg, but is there a way to use the Cygwin package
installer so that it picks up a local package?

I've read [the package contribution documentation][1] and related pages but
can't find an answer.

/Thomas
