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.
