Well, I hammered something out last night and came up with http://shell.n.ml.org/n/cygwin-apps/ It tries to confirm all package-specific information (pulling defaults from setup.ini), and will craft compatible messages for new package proposals, updates to new vendor versions, corrections for broken packages, or announcements to cygwin-announce. It does not do anything but help you construct an email; the first three types go to cygwin-apps and can be processed by the extractor script, and the latter goes to cygwin-announce and is similar to recent messages. The From:, To:, and Subject: are configurable. This is just a proof of concept, but should be usable for the time being. -- Daniel Reed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://naim-users.org/nmlorg/ http://naim.n.ml.org/ "A professor is one who talks in someone else's sleep."
