Hello Max, >Yep, just don't try to avoid setup, and you should be fine. > >I look forward to your RPM work with interest...
My work will be finished on december 19th, and I'll have to do a lecture on january 15th. Then I'll translate my hole work to english, since it's been written in french (does anybody volunteer to translate it into others languages ?). And then, if you want, I'll post a copy. I sincerly hope that this work won't look too 'primal', as porting RPM-4.1 wasn't that difficult (even if it seems to work quite well ;-)) and its integration into the setup process doesn't, actually, look like impossible. In fact, my strategy is to create a very basic Cygwin distro (setup, basesystem, filesystem, bash, glibc-common, glibc, ldconfig, libtermcap, mktemp, termcap as wrote '73 de Jeff' from the RPM ML in https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/private/rpm-list/2002-November/016873.html), to integrate RPM-4.1 into that distro, to create the RPM files for the packages I'd like to install (if not available on www.rpmfind.net), to store them in a ftp (for example) reachable place, and then to have setup.exe deal correctly with those new entities. And one more time: thank you for your priceless help !!!
