I packaged the xmon program today (and used it extensively, so I know it works) for Cygwin.


I took the liberty of checking Debian and see that this is a standard
package there, so there is no need to vote on this.

Thanks, I wasn't sure what the current rules were. Glad it was in Debian.




But, where's the setup.hint file?

Uhh... I hope I'm not misunderstanding the question... but, in the original email?!?

From http://cygwin.com/setup.html

Submitting a package

	So you've got a package you want to submit.  Follow the following
	checklist before emailing cygwin-apps@cygwin.com and you'll almost
	certainly save time.

1. Propose on cygwin-apps that you are interested in becoming a
package maintainer for package foo. Some packages cannot be
distributed via cygwin's setup due to vendor licence limitations.
Other packages may not be appropriate for cygwin. This step will save
time if, for some reason we cannot accept the package.


2. If this is a new package, *post a complete setup.hint file as part
of your proposal*. Include this file in the text of your message so
that it can be commented on. Do not submit it as an attachment.

Are we posting or quoting rules?


I have no interest in pedantics.

You asked why I was asking about the setup.hint file. This is why.


I didn't see any obvious reason why I should refrain from pointing out
the rules to you since I and others do that whenever someone sends an
incomplete ITP here.

sdesc: "An interactive X protocol monitor" ldesc: "Xmon interactively monitors the byte-stream connections between an X server and a number of X clients. Xmon recognises all requests, events, errors and replies sent between the clients and the server which are part of the core X protocol. The contents of these messages are displayed on standard output at a user settable degree of detail

from none to every bit and byte."

category: X11
requires: cygwin xorg-x11-bin-dlls

There is no need to include "requires: cygwin". That's a given.


Nope.  Nevermind.  I was wrong.  I thought upset adds this automatically but it
doesn't.

I've uploaded this package.

Thanks. Sending announcement now.
