Re: So, *should* I go back to distributing the mingw/w32api sourcesin the cygwin source tarball?

The subject says it all.  If I don't distribute the mingw and w32api
sources, I stand the chance of releasing a version of the sources that
won't build until the next release of mingw or w32api.  I don't want to
have to go through the effort of coordinating with Earnie every time I
release cygwin so the alternative is to go back to including the mingw
and w32api sources in the cygwin source tarball.

I don't like the thought of duplication here but I guess I've finally
grown weary of the bug reports from people who can't build from the
sources available via tarball.

I'm not going to say much about it other than, I empathize with you. Perhaps a symlink to the installed versions would do?
