well, there is a fundamental flaw here in the distribution system then. i have looked at the versions from (agast!) three different mirrors and they have so far been completely different. i have found (long ago, dont know if this was fixed) a version 0.3.4 of bash _on_ that mirrors package list. o think what we need to do in _this_ case is to *standardise* (oh my! standardization!) because if we're not careful we'll end up in DLL HELL. i propose a round-robin approach, **I am _not_ saying i will do it** its just a good idea.. that would make it so that if a new version of the package came out, the main server would have it and we would have to say WASFM... its too hard

As long as you can find the package at <http://cygwin.com/packages/>, there's going to be at least one mirror out there with the package in question. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
