As usual, it seems that a point was missed. "Seconding" doesn't do anything here. If you want to add a command-line package management tool to cygwin nothing is stopping you. Propose it like a normal package. I would insist that anyone who does this vows to stick around for the support problems that is sure to follow however. I even wrote one of these myself but then quailed at the thought of scores of "it not work, i need install cygwin, u fix?" email that would be sure to follow if I actually formally introduced it. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
