As I mentioned in another post, I've hacked at the get-cygwin-package script so that it should properly handle -debuginfo packages. I also added a --release option which moves the packages into the release directory after downloading them. Without this option the script will only download to a staging area and stop.
If the email contains a string like: "Please remove 5.42-1" then that package will be removed and temporarily archived to a tar file in /tmp. So, for any existing packages, this should be as simple as just piping email via: |ssh sourceware.org get-cygwin-package If there are any problems please report them here. cgf
