I would like opinions on dropping support for non-ELF systems. This would keep Linux, BSD and Hurd, which are the real users of pacman/makepkg. It would drop OSX and Cygwin support.
Currently the libdepends/libprovides code in makepkg (pacman-4.0) depends on libraries being ELF formatted and we have had no complaints - although that could be because no-one uses it... Creating split debug packages will also assume ELF formatted files and I have no intention of adjusting the code in such a way that other formats can be readily added. So... any objections to removing cygwin and darwin support? Allan
