Yeah, that makes two of us.

No, not really.  As I've said before, the vast bulk of my work in the latest
round of patches was directly related to getting the resizing to work.  The vast
bulk of Max's work was in getting the small amount of "cleanup" I did along the
way, out of the way.  But we've covered that ad nauseum, and Frank's patch has
been approved and does more, at least short-term, than what I have.

I do have some stuff in window.{cc,h} that may or may not be welcome.  It was
mainly for the resize stuff again.  But Max got everything else AFAIK.

I've tried it and it appears to work ok.  My first response though is that the
pages that aren't meant to be resizable need to be prevented from resizing.  I
have code for that, but I don't know if it will work with what Frank's done.

Looking through the code, I'm a bit disturbed that still more global state has
been added in the form of PropSheetData.  I don't understand why this is
necessary.  The way I had it you only needed a global HWND.

Also, this scares the hell out of me: "The code utilizes some "less public"
aspects of property sheets and makes certain assumptions on it's internal
workings [...]."  Frank, can you explain what you mean here?  Does "less public"
== "undocumented" == "even more liable to break than MS's documented stuff"?

Yes, and thats correct. The update info hack only works when the user
runs off the web, if the user runs locally, then only the first install
will trigger the update info package - all others will need to call
install info themselves.

I was initially a little worried about the name space issue, but up 'til
now, noone said anything.  Each of these was intended to be an
independent package, but collectively they are all part of a suite of
emulators, so I can see your point.  I've already responded in other
email (I'll rework the packages to use a common base name), but since you
were the first to suggest it, I felt obligated to respond.  Thanks for
the suggestion!

Oh well.  Yes, I suppose making the packages use a common base name would
help to group them better (and maybe someone else will vote for them too
:).  Ok, I'm sold.  I'll rework the packages and provide an update soon.

That's not what it seems from http://cygwin.com/setup.html.  Quoting the section 
"Making Packages", the eighth bullet item is:

  "If you have any 'info' documention in your package, run install-info as part of 
your post-install script"

Also, for the record, there are a number of packages which have such postinstall 
scripts, among them: bzip2, cvs, gnupg, libgdbm, readline.  That is why I made the 
postinstall script as I did.  Has this procedure 
een officially changed?  If so, the setup.html page should be updated.

Ok.  I've formally passed the baton to Gerrit.  He has the ability to
upload his own packages now, so there is no need to do this for him.

Igor, if you're reading this could you give Gerrit five gold stars?  The
depths of my appreciation for someone taking over this task is
boundless.

I will still be involved in gcc development since I need to approve
cygwin-specific changes and act as a rubber stamp for Danny Smith's
changes.  You just won't be seeing gcc announcements from me going
forward.

Woo hoo!

Nothing we can do about it (other than a really ugly hack to check
archive.progeny.com the same way we do sources.redhat.com.)  A more

Pending Packages List, 2003-10-28

This is the list of pending packages as of Tuesday, October 28, 2003.

** PACKAGE PROPOSERS ** Please verify these fields **
Package: The name and version of the package as it will appear in setup. 
Proposal: Files that will be uploaded to sources.redhat.com unmodified.
HOLD-UPS: What you need to finish! What we are waiting for.

Maintainers of existing packages are eligible to vote on ITPs and new package
proposals. Once a package has been proposed, a cygwin-apps subscriber must
review it, and may point out problems or suggest changes. Each package must
receive a "good to go" (positive review) and must have all problems addressed
before being accepted.

Problems can be addressed either by announcing an updated version or explaining
why the problem is not an issue.

I changed libxml2 and libxslt to Gerrit P. Haase; and changed m4, man, and
time to Christopher Faylor.

That was probably my fault to not include a 'category:' directive.
And I think 'Devel' is the right category.

Oh, yes please add the dependencies.

libpcre0 is built from pcre as well.. setup.ini/hint should note that. If
it doesn't, there's a bug.

I don't think it's been discussed on-list, but the reason I voted for it 
despite me not going to use it because I like ls enough as is, is that it
actually does add some functionalities - most notably the fact that it wastes
less space in the output than ls does (which I agree can come in handy), it
lists directories first (which is increases visibility of the directory
contents) and gives a very clear summary of the directory contents.

Personally, I'm no fan of ls any more than I am of this lister: I just happen
to know ls an be used to it. I can see how the features added by this lister 
can be interesting to other users, and I think that that, in itself, is 
enough reason to vote for a package that has a willing maintainer and is
relatively well-written (taken a look at the code).

This doesn't really seem appropriate to me.  Devel maybe?
