-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There is a recent thread[1] on the bug-findutils list where the original poster asked about a bug he was experiencing on Cygwin, because 'find - --help' still listed bug-findutils. It turns out he was experiencing a cygwin-specific bug, and would have been better off asking on the cygwin list instead of bug-findutils. I maintain the cygwin port of findutils, and am wondering if there is any easier way to change what PACKAGE_BUGREPORT points to, short of modifying configure.ac and running autoreconf. I am thinking that changing the reporting address to cygwin first would allow myself and other cygwin developers to filter out real upstream bugs from cygwin-specific issues, avoiding some of the confusion apparent in the mentioned bug-findutils thread. Should autoconf provide an easy hook at ./configure time for package maintainers of various ports to easily change the email address to their port mailing list instead of the upstream mailing list, comparable to other hooks like --bindir for changing where the installation takes place?
