The point is - you don't have to know. The package maintainers read the cygwin list. It's part of their "jobs". You've reported the problem here. You don't have to do anything more. >I have seen enough people have their heads handed back to them for >writing to someone directly, and it beind done on this list. You're exaggerating. Most of the time when maintainers receive private email they redirect it to this list with a polite request to keep the discussion public. There is no "head handing". cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
