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.
That would undermine any legitimate specification of gid/uid. I would like to see how this is handled in the Linux distros first.
