I immediately recognized the `pact` tool to be a clone of `apt-cyg`. Did a search on the repo source to confirm (https://github.com/babun/babun/blob/45484c55a3b017248329ddd5eb6bfbfa437821d3/babun-core/plugins/pact/src/pact#L52 https://github.com/babun/babun/blob/45484c55a3b017248329ddd5...). It seems as if the author of Babun is trying to pass off apt-cyg as his own creation.
- meandthebean 12y agoGoing down the list of Babun features, it doesn't look like much more than repackaged cygwin. I thought pact was the biggest innovation, but as a clone of an existing project it seems misleading to call this "a new Windows shell." It isn't without value, as others have said cygwin could be made more usable out-of-the-box, but a little more credit should be given where credit is due.
- relaytheurgency 12y agoI also noticed this. I immediately thought ot myself, "How is this any different than my current set up with Cygwin and apt-cyg?" Surprise: It's not!
