Folks,
I've written the design document for the re-worked RPM installer
design; I've posted it at:
http://www.helixdigital.com/~alcocer/rpm-installer/
This version hopefully addresses all of the points that were brought
up in our previous discussion. I've posted to the cygwin-apps mailing
list because I believe it's a more appropriate forum than the general
Cygwin mailing list.
Again, I want to reiterate that I have an almost-working version which
hopefully will be updated to conform to the final version of this
design document. I intend to make the first implementation available
for download and review sometime in August.
Comments are welcome. Thanks in advance for all your input!
