Re: State of ddd and cygipc package

[Harold L Hunt II <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Oh yeah, and:

hunth@lingling ~
$ cygcheck ddd | grep cygipc

hunth@lingling ~
$


Was there something specific you saw indicating that cygipc was still 
being used?  If it is the setup.hint, then the setup.hint is just out of 
date.

I went on a pretty thorough campaign to get rid of packages that were 
dependent upon cygipc sometime over a year ago, since it seemed to be 
mostly my packages that were dependent on cygipc.  I don't recall giving 
up before fixing ddd :)
