Assuming that you're addressing this to "me" (i.e., Cygnus) I can offer that we have talked about putting cygwin on the sourceware site under CVS. There are few reasons why this hasn't happened so far: 1) We're lacking resources for this, 2) I've seen very very very little evidence that anyone was willing to contribute source to the project, and 3) I don't want to do this until we can get everything coordinate with my gcc and gdb counterparts (the gdb part will be a easier since I manage a gdb group). Right now, we're in "wait and see" mode due to our Redhat merger. I'm hoping that when the dust clears we'll have a nicer cygwin site set which will have convenient access to source for at least the core cygwin distribution and for ported packages as well. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
