Hi, OK, so I think I fixed the problem with the vpath directive, I fixed another related problem on the way (the GPATH variable shows the same symptoms), I tested both fixes on my machine, and wrote a ChangeLog entry. Now, I want to contribute these fixes into the development chain for CygWin make. The GNU make project (http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/make) does not contain the CygWin enhancements in its main development tree, but in order to provide a valid diff, I'd have to incorporate my changes into the latest CVS version and perform a diff, rather than using the sources from the latest CygWin distribution. I checked the CVS repository sources.redhat.com, but it seems to contain only the core of the CygWin DLL's sources. So, my question: Where can I find the repository of the CygWin make package? Or otherwise, how to proceed from here?
