Hi Dave (and Yaakov) THX for the feedback regarding the packaging of task. And sorry for me "pinging" (we had a couple of user who have been asking for task in cygwin though...)
I have now fixed the 2 remarks you had: 1) setup.hint removed dependency to cygwin in requires (but http://cygwin.com/setup.html should be update regarding this as it still advises to require cygwin) 2) task-1.7.1-1.src.tar.bz2 OK. Now I understand. I miss-understood the instructions. Thought that only the ready build binary package should install and contain the README file. And not the manual user build. I have now switched to cyport as you recommended (THX for the patches). I have included 2 small changes in the patch file: above mentioned requirement for cygwin disappers and I have also changed the build instructions to use cygport (using ideas and templates for the text from other packages using cygport). I have now re-uploaded the packages (without bumping the version number as the package is not yet in cygwin). So I would appreciate if you could take a new look at the new files at http://taskwarrior.org/download/cygwin/setup.hint http://taskwarrior.org/download/cygwin/task-1.7.1-1-src.tar.bz2 http://taskwarrior.org/download/cygwin/task-1.7.1-1.tar.bz2 Let me know if there are any problems. And thx for your time. /Federico
