Doesn't handle RPMs, only Cygwin packages. Does have a apt-get style interface. I'm thinking RPM support is a bit beside the point?
Nope. A real package manager would be very nice.
A binary RPM from a different distro won't work, packages usually need porting to Cygwin -- that's all part of the Cygwin package system.
If you only need to install specific packages, setup.exe has you covered: $./setup-1.7.exe -q -P joe
I'm very well aware of setup's capabilities. I am one of the authors after all.
Cheers, Chris.
