Bring Out Yer Dead! What about package managers that don't interact with cygwin setup? Why not build `apt-get` et. al. to install to /opt/? Yes I know it would be a system within a system within a system, but it might be worth a shot. This, especially if the "cygwin setup" package manager isn't open source (I thought everything cygwin was, but I guess not). -- David Dombrowsky, Software Engineer da...@6thstreetradio.org | 518-374-3204 https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-dombrowsky-94334415 -- 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
