No, but the setup.html specifically refers to "experimentation" in step 
9 of the "submitting a package" guidelines.

It is a new experience, sort of. This time I tried to the follow the 
http:://cygwin.com/setup.html instructions as closely as possible. In 
doing so, I ran across a number of things that appeared different than 
last time:

1. Version number appeared to be <major>.<minor>.
2. The patch file was supposed to be hard coded to 
/usr/src/foo-vendor-release.patch.
3. Binary release files went to /usr/share/man and /usr/share/doc.

I think that is where I got into trouble.

Cheers,

Joe
