Now that Microsoft has finally dropped support for Windows 98 and Me, we're going to drop 9x support as well.
What we're planning to do is this: The complete net distribution gets copied to a new place. This new place is the distro kept for people running 9x. There is no further development in this distribution. Maintainers may decide whether or not they apply fixes to the packages in the 9x distro, or keep it up to date at all. The "normal" net distribution will continue to be the normal distro. It might work on 9x, but there's no guarantee at all that it will continue to do so. The setup tool (hello setup developers?) should either be split into two versions, one for 9x, one for NT. Or the setup tool should choose the download path depending on the OS it's running on. Or something completely different. Comments? Ideas? Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
