Hi, I'm interested in submitting and maintaining Marc Vertes txt2man package (http://mvertes.free.fr/). This package is also available in debian (http://packages.debian.org/stable/text/txt2man).
It is a pretty small package, and I understand if it is considered to small for a stand-alone package, however there is no harm in proposing right (at least it worked on one occasion that I tried it ;-) ). The txt2man setup.hint would look like this: category: Text Doc requires: bash gawk cygwin sdesc: "Txt2man converts flat ASCII text to man page format" ldesc: "Txt2man converts flat ASCII text to man page format. It is a shell script using gnu awk, that should run on any Unix like system. " Can I just pass one comment? The Cygwin Package Contributor's Guide (http://cygwin.com/setup.html) is great. However, one area it does not address, and I am aware that is because in general it is a un-documented area, is how to test a package you have created. That is, to install a stand-alone package, away from pointing Cygwin Setup at the mirrors. Actually, I am assuming it is undocumented. Pointers are off course welcome. Regards, Shaddy
