(guess).
I'm not sure what you're asking. sources.redhat.com is still going to be the main repository for all of the cygwin distribution and mirrors will be downloading from sources.redhat.com. So, you'll still need to have your package approved and uploaded to sources.redhat.com if you want the package to be part of the distribution. I can't see how that could possibly change. We can't rely on other systems to be part of the official distribution. cgf
