According to Charles Wilson on 10/12/2005 10:09 PM:
Within the README file
[t]here's no need to list...
exactly which files are included within each of
... the tarballs; in fact it's actually discouraged (because it always
ends up getting out of date).
Actually, the generic-build-script template recommends this. Are you
proposing changing the template?
Huh? I thought for sure I saw something to the effect of my statement
on the mailing list...
Ah, here it is:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2005-05/msg00198.html
But my memory was faulty; no conclusion was reached in that thread.
Meanwhile, I've been sitting on this
patch to the templates:
2005-10-13 Eric Blake <ebb9-PGZyUNKar/[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* templates/generic-readme: Add License, Language. List date
when releases are made.
* templates/generic-build-script: Fix typo when failing.
I don't see anything wrong with the patch, but I'm not the keeper of the
g-b-s stuff anymore.
Maybe the patch should be tweaked to recommend "cygcheck -l $PKG" instead
of the current recommendation of an explicit list that is likely to get
out of date.
Yes, that's a pretty good idea.
