If this is incorrect, the following paragraphs from http://cygwin.com/setup.html need to be corrected: In general, you should trust the automatic setup.ini generator to do the right thing -- with one exception. If you decide that you need to release a test version of your package, there is no way for the setup.ini generator to know that. So, you will have to put something like test: 1.9-1 in your setup.hint file. This will cause setup.exe to characterize the 1.9-1 version as a test package. With the current setup.exe implementation, it will also mean that it will be overlooked by most people during installation. So, unless you have made arrangements to advertise your test release, this option should be used sparingly. Note that if any of the curr, prev, or test options are used, they will short circuit all of the automatic version detection used for generating setup.ini. So, if you include a test option, and you have valid current and/or previous tar files, you must specify curr and/or prev. Otherwise, the only version that setup.exe will display will be the test version. prev: 0.93.91-6 curr: 0.93.94-2 test: 0.94.4-1 Signed, The confused candidate Cygwin LessTif maintainer... -- Brian Ford Senior Realtime Software Engineer VITAL - Visual Simulation Systems FlightSafety International the best safety device in any aircraft is a well-trained pilot...

please upload: lesstif-0.94.4-1 test release
I believe Harold gave me permission to upload a test release of LessTif in an effort to transition its maintainership. This is a test release because various Cygwin maintainers whose packages rely on LessTif may have compatibility concerns. Those packages are: ddd nedit tcm xemacs xpdf If you are a maintainer or user of one of the above packages, please test this release. Also, if you are a developer who uses Cygwin LessTif, your input is also desired. Note that you can test the new cygXm-2.dll without needing to recompile the dependent application. Although, a recompile is a more thorough test, assuming you are sure the recompile would have succeeded before this update. Since this is a maintainership change, a packaging review may be in order?

Changes: * Sync with upstream release (see http://www.lesstif.org/ReleaseNotes.html for details) * Disable static libraries. * Sync with latest gbs. * acinclude.m4 (AC_FIND_XFT): Make compatible with libfreetype26-devel-2.1.9-1. * Update lesstif.README.

Re: please upload: lesstif-0.94.4-1 test release
To remove indirect dependencies from setup.hint, and to update the Cygwin specific README file accordingly, these files have been updated. I assume this was done quick enough to avoid the need to bump the release number.
