Hello poeple ! I'm a computer science student from switzerland and I'm beginning my final work for my diploma. I've choosen the subject "Extension of Cygwin", which means that I have to port some "pure-UNIX" (or GNU/Linux...) application to Cygwin. As an application, I've choosen to port the latest version of RPM (which is actuelly 4.1.8 : rpm-4.1-8x.src.rpm), and then to find out a way for creating a something like a distribution of Cygwin completely based on an RPM scheme (!).
I know it won't be that easy, but has anyone any good tip or interresting adresses ? When I'll be finished, I'd like to propose my work to the community. Maybe it will be good enough for someone to go on with it (or why not myself and get in the same way something like a maintainer ???). Hope that this subject doesn't sound to tricky or weird !!!
