I never saw more than exactly this list.

Got it (and with "instal" with one L).


I don't know if it matters, but it certainly doesn't hurt either.  As a
suggestion, when automating this, the name could be constructed like
this:

   Organization=Cygwin
   Division=<packagename>
   Name=<executable>

As for why, IIRC you mentioned[1] before that the manifests are cached; I suppose the name= attribute would be used in the cached data, hence the requirement to be unique.


Some additional googling revealed that you also mentioned that the manifests need to be executable[2].

The attached patch is what I have in mind. It won't apply to SVN trunk yet due to other uncommitted patches in the queue, but I need to fix that soon to get a long-overdue release out the door. Anything else that I may not be aware of before I commit this?
