Let me be the first to say thank you for the update. I know that Cygwin packages are not always easy to make because they sometimes do not compile "out of the box" and require manual patching. As far as you staying on, I am personally fine with it as long as you can update at least once per year. That seems like a reasonable timeframe. -- 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
