The problem with being frank is that you stand the chance of looking uninformed if you didn't do some basic research. >As far as I can tell this is the current repo > >http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/winsup/?cvsroot=src That's the web representation of the Cygwin CVS tree.

You're looking at the top-level (mostly unused these days) CVS repo for sourceware.org. That contains the Cygwin CVS repository but it isn't the right way to get the information for checking out Cygwin. Instructions on how to check out the source are available at the cygwin web site, just like they are at every open source site. Go to the cygwin web page and look to the left. You'll see "Contributing" and "Source in CVS". Both lead you to instructions. "Contributing" is intended to help with providing patches. "Source in CVS" is obvious. Yes, I know. Git is better than CVS. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
