I have a modified Linux manpage almost ready to go; I assume that goes to cygwin.patches?

No, that would be appropriate only if the man page was found in the winsup hierarchy. The first line of printf(3) says "NEWLIB" when I type "man 3 printf" so that's where a man page patch should go.

Ok, that's what I kind-of thought... Hmm, shame on the newlib folks for having such a poorly-up-to-date manpage. :-) Anyway, I guess this means that gmane.comp.lib.newlib will suffice?


(But... this means what? If the newlib folks don't like it, Cygwin is just stuck with a /wrong/ manpage?)
