I guess I've just bought Red Hat's story on this, i.e. (from
http://www.redhat.com/software/cygwin/):
The way I understand the comments earlier on this thread, that's a very inaccurate description of the situation. We're not talking about (any) "one developer", but the developer(s) who built *the official binary release*.
Yes. But apparently, it's being built on a Linux host...
That is one developer's preference.
Again, that's not the same thing at all. I was referring to the Co-Project Leader (title taken from e-mail signature) of the project. Not "some user" or "a developer".I don't see how it has anything to do with the scope and vision of the project, which does not include supporting linux binaries.
By this line of reasoning, volunteer-run linux distros like Fedora and
Debian should ship win32-hosted linux-targeted binaries of gcc, since
hey, some linux users might have windows systems too.
How do you thinkThat would be a completely different situation. The fedora packagers don't build their distro under Windows, do they?
the fedora packagers would react if you told them they should support
windows binaries in their distro?
Do you think they would have any desire to do so? Would their package system even have the machinery to support foreign binaries?
