well svn is available, and in fact, i'm sure git is available, as another project i no about used to run a git repository till switching to svn and a large number of its users run cygwin environments. the distro i'm looking at running is based off a slax distribution, which is actually based off slackware so in theery i see no reason why speakup can't work with it, provided of course that I can get the patching in cygwin to work which I don't see a reason for not working. the distro itself though is a custom one. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Hubbs" <w.d.hubbs@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, October 25, 2008 6:28 PM Subject: Re: ignore previous message > Is git available on cygwin?
