Hello,

Yes, I have created some packages. They are at our ftp-server:
ftp://www.mathematik.uni-kl.de/pub/Math/Singular/devel/WIN/cygwin
There is a small repository only containing the packages.

I have made the following packges:
singular-base (Executeables)
singular-share (Libraries)
singular-help (HTML Help and info)
singular-surf (Compiled surf programm)
And one further, which is only there for the repository
singular-helper (depends of singular-* and installs shortcuts)
This server is made up for testing but maybe we want to use it also to
distribute Singular in a easy install routine. I hope this is okay with
the cygwin project. A short description of the process can be found at
http://www.mathematik.uni-kl.de/~wienand/singular
Btw: The feature to select severel mirrors is great for such an application.

I am sorry. Till now I only have made binaries packages. I am reallybusy
with this stuff. Is it okay, if I add the sources later? They compile
out of box from the cvs today quite good, but I want to make some
improvements.
Sincerely,
Oliver Wienand
