Did your create any documentation about that? I mean, the exact commands you used to create the various binary packages, including the used ./configure options, etc. > The limiting factor, however, is not the time to > build, but the time available to the developers, which at present is not > very large; see the decrease in the frequency of updates at > http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ and > http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/oldnews.html during the last year. How do you people organize it? Were are your standards / guidelines? Where do the source files come from, which way are they repacked (to ...-src.zip) and built? > So, when > a considerable number of packages will have to be rebuild, this may take a > long time-span. I didn't say anthing like that. I just wante to give some compatibility patches to you. This doesn't affect binary packages at all! Just your source packages would need to be "rebuild". > 2) New packages are quickest imported when they are in the form of a > Gnuwin32 package, i.e. with subdirectories bin, doc, include, lib, man, and > so on. I don't understand. What you describe are binary packages. Shouldn't you more interested in source packages and building scripts? What exactly to you need? What do you build automatically? In other words: What do the different Gnuwin32 developer provide? What is done automatically? Which roles do what tasks? Without knowing *how* the team works, I don't know how to support it.
