Are you saying that I should have a list like "A" and put ash underneath that? "B" gets binutils? Yuck. This list is not intended to be used with ftp. This is just intended as a way to list the contents of packages. It is definitely not intended to allow people to download tar files. That would be rather difficult since you can't download directly from sources.redhat.com. And, if I did provide a convenient method for downloading tar files we'd be once again back to the pre-dependency setup problems. >The web interface should allow categorised and filename based search/views >though :}. Categorized searches are already there. Use "search" in your browser. I don't see why filename searches would be useful. The package names are directly related to the filenames. That is not going to change. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
