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.
Exactly. So I'm asking again: *is* this the consensus? If so, I'll
remove that section from the readme template.
I consense: pkg listings should be removed from generic-README...
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likely to get out of date.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.
Agreed. Eric, if you plan to tweak the above patch, you should probably
also mention <http://cygwin.com/packages/> as the place to get package
content listings.
...with OR without the addition of a recommendation to use cygcheck -l
or /packages/. Just so I can stop hand editing those stupid lists. :-)
