Hi, I would like to contribute a new minimal package containing prebuilt client binaries for Windows/Cygwin. This would help to rectify two problems: 1) The existing ports (see http://www.mysql.com/downloads/os-win32.html) are badly outdated 2) They do not comply with the GPL as they distribute the cygwin1.dll without the sources, actually without even mentioning where to get them. How would I upload this to the MySQL site? I also plan to create a package containing the binaries and the libmysqlclient libraries (static+dll) for existing Cygwin installations. Those binaries would be dynamically linked and install into a current Cygwin installation. Would it be possible to host this package on the MySQL site? If I'd ask the Cygwin folks to host it, the problem would again be the source code. In this case Cygwin would have to host a 11MB MySQL source which might not sound like a good idea to them. NB I'm not subscribed to the list, please CC me.
