Hi Bob,
and thanks to all for your answers.

Well , dpkg is already ported and included in the main distrib. Why
working on RPM ?
While dreaming on a complete apt powered cygwin distribution, i'm
searching for a cygwin packages installer. I now think that it doesn't
exists and will be an easy perl hack ...
I'm not a C++ expert but the setup does that :
- download http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.lst as mirror list
- download [selected_mirror]/setup.bz2 as packages list
- download packages found in setup.bz2 and selected
- unbzip it under /
- tar tjf $package_file | gzip >/etc/setup/${package_name}.lst.gz
- update the line $package_name $package_name 0 in the
/etc/setup/installed.db ( i don't understand does the 0 mean )
- run /etc/postinstall/package.sh
- mv /etc/postinstall/package.sh /etc/postinstall/package.sh.done
is it completed ?
Regards,
Marc
