The creation of /etc/preremove/man-manifest.lst and factoring out common code sounds like a good idea to me. Please feel free to add this suggestion to Bug #571, if you want, or to create a new report. --- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
