Subject: strange source packaging?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Why the wget-1.8.1-1-src.tar.bz2 package does contain wget-1.8.1.tar.gz
?
This is pretty peculiar and mroeover defeats any additional compression
.bz2 could have versus .gz (compressed data is uncompressable even if it
could be comperssed better with another compressor ^_^)?

Just for curiosity =)

BTW: in creating UPX package it'll have the strange erquirement that UPX
source package needs also UCL source package (the installed binary isn't
enough).
Can that precedence be used, maybe documenting it in the
Cygwin-doc/upx-...-1.txt o I shoul better include the sources needed to
compile it also in UPC src directory to need only UCL library installed
only?
