I think the setup that we currently have is undeniably better than the current release version, so I am thinking of putting out a beta and announcing it to the main cygwin list, to get some final testing before a real release.
Are there any things that we should wait for before doing a beta?
Sorry for the delay.
I think it would good to do an official test release and announce it on the main list. I haven't yet looked at Igor's patch but I think it's a great idea and we should perhaps add that first.
There are still some minor issues that need addressing before doing an actual (non-test) release, though. Hopefully with more testers we can get a good idea of what still needs tweaking.
One thing that I have been meaning to look at soon is re-doing the install procedure to properly address the dependency issue. I would like to treat each of the possible 4 steps (preremove, delete files, install new files, postinstall) equally and do them all in the correct order, instead of trying to do them as seperate operations. The general idea I had in mind for the logic is to make one large list of all such necessary operations, and then sort it based on the requirements for each step.
I don't see this as a release blocker in any way. What we have now in CVS is better than the last release.
