I thought about this just a bit. The problem is the uncommon tar files argument usually given with the PKG_CONTENTS, esp. for --exclude. If glob would expand them same as tar it would be much less ressource hungry. But for our simple needs it just worked fine enough. >> And maybe some helper is needed to detect changes in previous .list files. The current helper is Volker Zell, who detects such changes with missing or moving files from package to package. From time to time. I think of a word-like diff excluding the version + release number from the changes to the previous packaged filelist, and list them as diff if found. The detection of the "previous" version+release number is the next problem, but should not be too hard. Maybe in perl, but that new dep but would be a bit too large. -- Reini Urban http://phpwiki.org/ http://murbreak.at/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Cygwin-ports-general mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cygwin-ports-general
