Hi, Upstream for the newly added epstool package (Russell Lang) has asked via private email whether the CYGWIN-PATCHES subdir of a cygwin source package would really be required, if he modified the package makefile to include make targets for cygwin source and binary distributions. In essence, the question is whether a patches subdir is required if there really are no patches required to build either the source or the binary distribution.
My guess is that such a subdir should always exist, containing at a minimum the setup.hint file. But I'm not really certain. Anyone have the answer for this? Thanks, James R. Phillips
