Cool! I'm not sure I understand you correctly, but it sounds you changed the version number of joe to take over the Cygwin scheme. That wasn't necessary since the -1 is just the Cygwin subversion, for example, if you changed the layout of the Cygwin tar archive for some reason.

It's kinda your choice as the maintainer of the package and the usual result of including also optional dependencies is that you will get less questions on the Cygwin list in the style of "JOE work but speeling work not, help how?" > Here are the files: > > http://world.std.com/~jhallen/joe-3.3-1.tar.bz > http://world.std.com/~jhallen/joe-3.3-1-src.tar.bz > http://world.std.com/~jhallen/setup.hint > > Here is the setup.hint: > > category: Editors > requires: cygwin aspell > sdesc: "Joe's Own Editor - world-famous Wordstar-like text editor" > ldesc: "Joe's Own Editor - world-famous Wordstar-like text editor > Includes clones of several other editors: > joe - Main user interface > jmacs - Gnu-emacs clone > jstar - Wordstar clone > jpico - PICO clone > Editor has syntax highlighting, i18n support and works well > in Cygwin console." I reviewed the packaging and it looks pretty good to me with just one exception. Is it really intended to put the joe specific stuff, namely the joe subdirectory into /etc? This looks weird. I'd prefer if the joe subdir would be located in /usr/share which seems to be the correct location following the FHS.
