Imagine that you have access to the cygwin/win32 packages through the debian packaging system. Now it is entirely possible that for some technical reason it might be really a pain to do that but then I think it is a interesting to look at the feasibility of this idea. Again the idea is to use dpkg/apt to update the cygwin apps/libs stuff, upgrade packages, and install new packages ... regards C. -- | Christophe Prud'homme, http://augustine.mit.edu/~prudhomm | ICQ UIN: 24560867 Alias: Jesunix | | Its name is Public Opinion.
