Did you read what I wrote? If you *CC* cygwin-apps you will be causing confusion. Do not do that. So, to reiterate: cygwin-apps is not a bug-reporting mailing list and, if you are a package maintainer, you should be monitoring the cygwin mailing list. If someone is inclined to send a (non-cc'ed) heads up about a new version then that's ok but, presumably, package maintainers should be monitoring for new versions, too. cgf
