Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Igor Pechtchanski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 24 March, 2004 5:29 PM To: Pikovsky Bella-BBP006 Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: How to upgrate rpm from 4.1 to 4.2?
Bella, Please configure your mailer to not quote raw e-mail addresses in your replies -- let's not feed the spam harvesters. Also, according to the announcement (<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-05/msg00308.html>), questions and comments should go to this list, and not directly to the maintainer. I'm sure Dario reads this list[*], so he'll probably reply at some point or another. That's why I said "wait until" he releases the package, not "contact him and find out when". Cygwin is a volunteer project, done by people in their (usually scarce) spare time. Igor [*] You might make it easier for him to notice your message by putting something like "[Attn: Dario Alcocer]", or, better yet, "[Attn: rpm maintainer]", in the subject.
