RE: RPM Binary
From http://cygwin.com/lists.html: cygwin: a high volume list for discussion of just about all things Cygwin-related. If you have questions about how to use Cygwin, or if you have cygwin-specific (see above) questions about the UNIX tools (bash, gcc, make, etc.) that come with Cygwin, this is the list for you. There is one exception to the all things cygwin nature of this list: questions about the Cygwin/XFree86 project (or any X-related questions for cygwin) should go to the cygwin-xfree mailing list (see below). I don't see RPM (which BTW is a RedHat invention) excluded. This is a how to use Cygwin question, IMHO. Why the harsh reaction? Ignorance is never a virtue. There's a RPM list at https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list. Try also http://groups.google.com/groups?oi=djqas_ugroup=linux.redhat.rpm. In case anybody cares and promises to figure things out by themselves (i.e., do not hassle this list), here are a few hints: http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/rpm-3.0.3/index.html http://www.holonlinux.com/product/xonwin/ http://www.sixnine.net/cygwin/ http://peach.sourceforge.net/en/ Kind regards Peter Ring -Original Message- From: Larry Hall (RFK Partners, Inc) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 13. marts 2002 15:36 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: RPM Binary At 09:47 PM 3/12/2002, Egon Phillips wrote: Hi, Can someone tell me where I can find an RPM binary? Assuming you mean that you're looking for RPM of Cygwin and it's packages, the answer is - I don't know. Keep in mind, if you do find RPM versions for Cygwin, this list doesn't recognize them and any issues regarding their performance is off-topic. If you're looking for an RPM of some other software package, I suggest searching the internet. Of course, further discussion along this line is off-topic for this list as well. This list is for questions/discussions of Cygwin and its packages as distributed by Red Hat. snip / -- 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/

I don't think it's necessary to explicitly exclude particular utilities in this statement, if only because of the impracticality of the trying to do so. RPM is not all things Cygwin. Cygwin is not Red Hat. It's a community run project that is hosted by Red Hat with Red Hat employees contributing. The fact that Cygwin and RPM are loosely connected through some relationship that the two products/projects have with Red Hat implies nothing in terms of the Cygwin mailing list charter. If folks are going to assume that anything that's not explicitly excluded in the paragraph quoted above is fair game for the list, we might as well shut the list down now. The volume is high enough as it is with things just barely staying on topic much of the time. Sorry if this message sounds harsh to someone but it is necessary that this list remain on-topic if it's going to be useful to those who need to talk about Cygwin.

Larry was correct in asserting that we're not going to be discussing alternate cygwin releases in this mailing list and was pre-wiring the discussion since this has come up here repeatedly. He prefaced his response with Assuming you mean that you're looking for RPM of Cygwin and it's packages and the rest of his message acted on that assumption. Given the number of times this has come up and the inevitable responses, I am thankful to have him nip this in the bud, if possible. Anyway, regardless of whether this is a Red Hat invention or not, RPM is not part of the official release. As you know, linux is also a Red Hat offering. However, discussion of linux isn't guaranteed to be on-topic here, either; although it certainly could be on-topic in some circumstances. So, if you want to discuss porting issues with RPM, that's fine. If someone wants to provide pointers to existing RPM implementations (as you've done), that's fine, too. If you want to discuss an alternate RPM-based distribution of cygwin then you should use another mailing list. I think that's only fair. You shouldn't be discussing SuSE in a Red Hat mailing list either. (I know that you know all this, Peter. I'm just clarifying for the masses.) Anyway, I've just changed the wording on the web page to make it clear that alternate cygwin releases shouldn't be discussed here. Thank you, Larry and Peter, for providing this user with useful info. 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/
