Looking forward to this. I know I got a fair way before, but getting the
updates sent back to the CVS was handled by Nuno for me.
Could you not use CVS, or do you not have a CVS account?
No, Richard doesn't have an account. He usually sends the mails to me directly.
Can you give some thought the steps of upgrading Cygwin. This is what
broke my last attempt (before the server went pop!). Not bothered since.
Hmm. Isn't this a case of just running setup.exe again and checking to
see if there are any updated packages?
Some time ago, a cygwin update also broke my cvs client, because it wasn't handling the unix new-lines properly. But a re-install did the trick.
Usually upgrading is a matter of running setup.exe (more recent setups also check if the setup.exe file is up-to-date).
Do you still need the openjade tools separate from Cygwin? Or do the
jade tools that cygwin supply now work OK?
The cygwin tools are already supported. A few months ago we patched our scritps, so that cygwin tools could be used. This is carefully explained (I hope) in the dochowto:
