Relationship between Cygwin and Cygwin Ports



Hi.


Earlier this evening I submitted an ITP for yasm. I didn't realise at that point that yasm was available in Cygwin Ports - which means that I have probably just trodden on Yaakov's toes, and for that I apologise.

Please could someone kindly explain the difference between Cygwin and Cygwin Ports. Why are they kept separate, and under what circumstances could a package migrate between the two? Apologies if I should know this, but there doesn't appear to be mention of it in the Cygwin FAQ.

Many thanks in advance for clarifying this,

Dave.
