We would like to make the packages be on all cygwin mirrors. I wasn't asking just to bring in a distributed file system. And Coda and MogileFS are not really similar file systems. From the web site: " you don't run regular Unix applications or databases against MogileFS. It's meant for archiving write-once files and doing only sequential reads." While you can't have a database file in Coda either, Coda is a full R/W distributed file system with "disconnected operation". But I don't want to end up in a discussion of Coda vs any other FS, I just wanted a discussion of inclusion of Coda or not. --Phil -- Phil Nelson (phil@cs.wwu.edu) http://www.cs.wwu.edu/nelson NetBSD: http://www.NetBSD.org Coda: http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu
