Hey lists,

I'm working on a project porting the Debian tools to Cygwin. Currently, my plan is to: - Provide some required patches to the Cygwin team, for example to allow a file in use to be removed or modified, since this is required for dpkg - Re-compile all packages and patches currently available for Cygwin into a Debian .deb - Provide either a way to bootstrap Debian onto an existing Cygwin installation, or provide installers for a pure Debian/kCygwin installation.

Which libc do you intend to use?

Cygwin uses newc, IIRC, but I can't find it packaged in Debian so far.


As far as I understand it now, newlib is packed along with Cygwin itself in cygwin1.dll. I'm thinking of a package libcygwin1, which will contain this (and maybe other) dlls. This package will just be created in the process of getting Debian to work on Cygwin :)
