 Please ensure that you prepare a wiki page linked off [wiki:PackageListing] with info on your package.  It should include a pointer back to the upstream project, the name of the packager (a link to a page with contact info on the packager), and special notes on where things are placed within OSGeo4W.

+== Common Issues ==
+
+=== Problematic Package Versions ===
+
+You may find that your package may not be listed as the current version.  An example is the following, where the installer believes apache-2.2.8-3 is the latest version, but apache-2.2.14 is the correct latest version:
+
+{{{
+
+  apache-2.2.8-1.tar.bz2 
+  apache-2.2.8-2.tar.bz2 
+  apache-2.2.8-3.tar.bz2  
+  apache-2.2.14-1.tar.bz2
+
+}}}
+
+To solve this you can specify the current and previous versions in the setup.hint file (see more info at http://cygwin.com/setup.html#setup.hint) such as:
+
+{{{
+
+  sdesc: "Apache Web Server"
+  ldesc: "Apache Web Server"
+  category: Web 
+  requires: msvcrt php
+  curr: 2.2.14-1
+  prev: 2.2.8-3
+
+}}}
