Could I get an official/unofficial nanny to check it over, or at least a note telling me to shut up til people have more time? http://www.networksimplicity.com/whois I tried the executable, it seems to work well. It is stripped now;) The Cygwin specific README is in the source package. Though, I prefer some more specific infos in the README, so it isn't absolutely correct as you stated in the Cygwin README, that you changed nothing than the prefix in the makefile, there is this patch which, applied would put the sources back to their original form. Or isn't the patch part of your port to Cygwin? Usual, or what is used often, is a seperate directory for platform specific files like there is this debian directory, on Cygwin there is often used a seperate directory too, named `CYGWIN-PATCHES'.

RE: whois package
Fixed. I'm not sure how the cygwin readme in the source package is supposed to be named/located. I just dropped it in there. Mark -Original Message- From: Gerrit P.

Once the decision to include is made, then the package gets examined by an existing package (for new packagers) and these issued examined.

From: Mark Bradshaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 7 Dec 2001 11:04:27 -0500 Just took a look at the bw.org version and realised that it's perl based. I'd really rather support one that can be compiled. Why? jik

RE: whois package
Going back to dig and host, I'm guessing that the maintainer would need to actually be a maintainer for the whole bind package? Am I right in assuming that having bind as a cygwin package would provide libresolv functionality, or would more be required. BTW, I can get bind 9.2 to compile with some modification Mark -Original Message- From: Gerrit P.
