Oh, that makes sense -- given that things without a setup.ini entry are placed in misc by default.

Please do. :-) I guess nothing should go in Misc, then. If we WANT stuff to always install, then it should be in Base (the category == meta-package, "base" is a special case, yadda yadda yadda). Misc should be RESERVED for the "no setup.ini entry, must be an special package the user put in their local repository" case. > > Can I suggest that the cygutils packages belongs in (shock horror) Utils Done. --Chuck
