Let me explain with an example. The libXfixes packages are:
(libXfixes3)
/usr/bin/cygXfixes-3.dll
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/libXfixes-*.README
/usr/share/doc/libXfixes-*/*
(libXfixes-devel)
/usr/include/X11/extensions/Xfixes.h
/usr/lib/libXfixes.*
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/xfixes.pc
/usr/share/man/man3/*
libXfixes3 and libXfixes-devel have category: X11 and external-source:
libXfixes. AFAIK (and please correct me if I'm wrong) upset and/or
setup require a binary libXfixes package to go alongside the source
package, so they are empty. I don't want the empty binary libXfixes to
pollute the package list, so I used the _source category for libXfixes
so that it's hidden by default.

I use genini for the Ports setup.ini's, and I see no problems there.
But I also need to change 80+ other packages' dependencies, and between
it all I'm just being cautious if I make a mistake that you don't get
swamped with emails for hours on end.

OK, thanks. How is the cygwin-xfree-announce moderation handled?
