I'm surprised that I haven't seen this before: The name that you used to generate your packages was "David Stacey/None". My parser wasn't expecting a name with a space and I didn't detect the fact that the parsing failed (#($& just realized that I forgot to fix that). So it was just outputting a '0' size, one per line. Yaakov, wouldn't it make sense not to just use 0/0 as user/group when generating packages with cygport by forcing --owner=0, --group=0 to the tar command? I'm not suggesting that this is the right way to fix this particular problem but I don't think it's a good idea to leak people's names and groups out onto the interwebs if we can help it. It will also make the packages slightly smaller. 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
