The source archive contains a README (installed as /usr/share/doc/mined/README) and a README.cygwin (installed as /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/mined.README) which contain different kind of information. It also contains doc/overview.html from which the ldesc is automatically generated. I admit it's somewhat long but it actually just lists the highlights of mined features. I understood setup.hint to also provide hints for users to decide whether the package is useful for them (I recall a mail saying that setup.exe should eventually display this information but unfortunately doesn't yet). If you don't mind, I would prefer to leave it as is now, and to revise it for the next release if other people complain about its length, too. > Source compiles ok. > > Could you also post a link to the initial thread with the votes > and review, please (I cannot remember right now and I'm lazy...)? Vote: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-03/msg00280.html Vote: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-06/msg00115.html Vote and review: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-06/msg00126.html If I remember correctly, I would have to wait until the package shows up in the distribution (being uploaded by you or some other kind maintainer) and then send a message to cygwin-announce, right? Thanks and kind regards, Thomas Wolff
