Hi
I remember reading that dpkg (of Debian/Linux) has been ported to Cygwin.
For those who don't know, on Debian/Linux, all you need to do to install a
package and automatically install the necessary dependencies is run `apt-get
install $PACKAGE_NAME`, and to keep the system current with patches and
upgrades, one simply does `apt-get update && apt-get upgrade` once in a
while. Is Debian packaging system [going to be] availabe as an alternative
or an addition to Setup.exe?
Thanks
Oleg
