There's one more urgent issue: I have a bzip2 and libbz2_0 package waiting for release, and the new setup must be able to handle that name(*)...I think most of these changes are in Robert's sandbox right now, but there's also a necessary pending patch to dump_setup.cc(?) in winsup/utils/ (*) sure, I could rename it, but I really would rather not... IMO, this change is a bugfix on the current setup.exe, and not a new feature. YOMV... --Chuck
