I have been trying to figure out the right way to rebuild this package
from the upstream sources, but I come across this particularities:
-the upstream sources are already distributed in *.run format,
meaning they are packaged using makeself.
That is a bit tricky, but almost always is there another way to get the
sources. In this case you can just get them from the git repo.
-this package consist of two shell scripts, plus the man page and
doc files, so there is no "config-make-make install" process.
Which means you need to "install" the files manually.
These facts make me think the standard procedure of re-building a
package doesn't fit here.
No, this always applies, it's just much shorter in this case.
I also read the Cygwin Package Contributor's Guide, and downloaded some
more-or-less simple packages to see how this task is acomplished.
No surprise in finding different approaches: some use a script, others
the still obscure to me cygport util...
My question, then, is this:
What do you think would be the proper way in this case?
-the cygport procedure applies, and is mandatory, for process
standarization. Just Learn How (TM).
cygport isn't mandatory, but it is strongly recommended (although I am
biased :-)). I have attached a .cygport which should do the trick, and
hopefully together with the cygport documentation you will be able to
understand what it is doing.
