I want to file in a few postings now. They are mainly targeted for the |
| 2 |
archives, but also to communicate knowlege on Cygwin. Sure your |
| 3 |
annotations are welcome. |

95% stability |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I estimate that 1 of 20 emergings break and need to be repeated. A |
| 8 |
speciall weak point is the generation of the man pages. Parallel |
| 9 |
emergins in multiple windows reduce the stability to 70%. |

Speed |

|
| 13 |
The speed of emergings is low comparing with linux. |

Target groups: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
* Because of the stability issues Prefix on Cygwin is not usable for servers. |
| 18 |
* Prefix on Cygwin is interesting for Desktp environments without |
| 19 |
enterprise editions of windows. |

Manually builds: |

Take a day which cant be the way to go. |

Skripted build: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
It's likely impossible to run a simple skripted bootsstrapping process |
| 28 |
over night as it will break somewhere. Solutions could be |
| 29 |
crosscompiling or a script wich is able to recognize and repeat broken |
| 30 |
emerge steps. |
