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.
