Greetings,
I have recently toyed a bit with cygport to create a fetchmail package.
I have two observations:
1. one thing that I found extremely irritating is that I lost changes made to
CYGWIN-PATCHES several times, due to prep/all/almostall just purging it without
questions -- and "package" does create the -src.tar.bz2, but does not update the
*.cygwin.patch file.
What are best practices to avoid that? Could/should instead cygport back up
CYGWIN-PATCHES, or stop, before removing this? I suppose that CYGWIN-PATCHES is
the directory most often manually edited, and at the same time, it's precious.
2. cygport foo-M-N all/almostall should include "test". The instructions that
src_test() { :; } should be defined if the package doesn't support it, are
there.
Thanks.
Best regards
