Hi Max,
|>I updated to grace 5.1.12, the new urls are: |>~ http://www.scytek.de/cygwin/grace-5.1.12-1.tar.bz2 |>~ http://www.scytek.de/cygwin/grace-5.1.12-1-src.tar.bz2 |>~ http://www.scytek.de/cygwin/setup.hint | | I've never used grace, but it's a pity for a package to have votes but no | review, so I thought I'd take a look at the packaging. Thanks!
| Here are some issues I found: | | You say "* No patches necessary." in usr/doc/Cygwin/grace.README, but you do | patch examples/Makefile and examples/dotest Ah, well, these patches only fix the make check command, this is not needed if you don't want to do a make check. I'll change that line in the README.
| /usr/grace/gracerc.user will be overwritten on uninstall/upgrade. Based on | the comments in it, that might be ok, but it might be nice to add an extra | comment indicating this. Yes, I will add a hint that /usr/grace/gracerc and /usr/grace/gracerc.user will be overwritten. If the user wants to keep his/her settings between updates he should put the gracerc and gracerc.user in a ./grace/ directory.
| I don't think changing the default editor to nano is right. I think you | should leave it alone, and everyone can set GRACE_EDITOR to their own | preference. I certainly don't think grace should depend on nano. | [Yes, I am a vim addict] Ok, ok, I will change that back to the default and use the GRACE_EDITOR variable from now on ;-)
| There is some html documentation in the source package. How about installing | it? It's installed, it is in /usr/grace/doc, available also from grace with the help menu. Unfortunately I had to change the helpbrowser to lynx because there is no XmHTML or libhelp package in cygwin at the moment and one of those libraries is needed for the internal helpviewer.
I will upload a new version shortly.
Thanks ~ Volker
