Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] cygport 0.24.0-1

The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

* cygport-0.24.0-1

cygport is the standard method for building and maintaining packages for 
the Cygwin distribution.

This release features many changes in Python packaging:

* The preferred packaging method for Python modules is now 
python-wheel.cygclass.  It can be used for both archful and noarch modules 
to build packages for both Python 2 and 3 automatically.  This requires the 
new python*-pip packages and their dependencies.

* The new python.org.cygclass defines HOMEPAGE and SRC_URI for PyPI-hosted 
sources.

* Python modules in /usr/lib/pythonX.Y are byte-compiled automatically with 
the matching Python interpreter.  Calling python*_optimize without 
arguments is now a no-op, but remains for when a package-specific directory 
(e.g. /usr/share/$NAME) is specified.

* Everything named with a 'python' or 'PYTHON' prefix now uses 'python2' or 
'PYTHON2' instead.  The old names remain for compatibility.
