Re: scribus: cygjpeg-62.dll not found

Sorry but it isn't up to Yaakov to decide if things that aren't part of

I agree, and I never said that they should be sent here.


Cygwin Ports is my (very large) private repository of packages which I have built, including the packages that I contribute to the distro. Those packages which aren't (yet) in the distro are usually due to any of the following reasons:

1) unsufficiently tested (like, right now, GNOME 2.12 is already there)
2) "queued up" due to dependencies not yet in the distro
3) not of general interest
4) lack of time

When I start seeing interest on these lists for something that I have on Cygwin Ports, that usually pushes me to ITP it; perl-Tk is a recent example. I may do the same for scribus, once the issues with René are worked out.

And (before someone asks) wrt to the first scribus thread started by René, I only continued that discussion here since her problem has to do with qt3 itself, which I maintain *within* the distro. It now appears that she may have found a regression in a recent snapshot due to that discussion too.

In any case, I'll try to clarify on my website about questions on my packages, etc.
