RE: Updated Package: Whois 4.6.6
I haven't changed the hint file in forever. I didn't think maintainers needed to after the first release. I just assumed christopher or corrinna did that in the main copy for updates. I don't think I'll need to worry about compiling 4.6.6 against 1.3.22. The upgrade isn't anything magical, so no one will suffer if they stick with 1.3.x and the old whois.

I've decided to call it quits on the package. Announcement at http://www.networksimplicity.com/openssh/.

Fw: Detecting NetworkSimplicity in setup.exe
Maybe some of it would. I think the problem is that the cygwin installer assumes that you actually know about cygwin and want to install it. I think there's a lot of windows folks who hear about ssh/openssh and want it, but don't know about or want the cygwin environment. They just want to push "next" a few times and have an openssh server, never mind this bash stuff. I'm not sure you can really "fix" the cygwin installer, since it's not broken. It's just too general for the task. As I've told Rob I've about reached the end of my interest in doing a separate package. In fact that's been the case for a while, but I'm not sure I have any good input on how to handle this problem in another fashion other than a separate install process. I'd certainly be willing to help if someone has a suggestion.

Robert, I think I'm all ready. I've made the changes you and Gerrit suggested. Small correction to the Makefile in the source to correct the prefix. Slightly expanded readme to explain the patch and how to apply it. Patch and readme moved to a CYGWIN-PATCHES directory. I'm ready when you are. http://www.networksimplicity.com/whois Mark > -Original Message- > From: Robert Collins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 6:35 AM > To: Mark Bradshaw; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: whois package > > > ----- Original Message - > From: "Mark Bradshaw" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > Just wanted to drop in a reminder about the whois package.

It built OOTB. I remove some source for an alternate mkpasswd app the author had included. It wasn't needed for whois functionality. I didn't really consider that patching the app. Other than that, the only modifications that I made were to the Makefile to get things pointing in the right direction. I know the readme isn't that informative, but there just wasn't that much to tell. The author gave no instructions on the usage for whois, so I didn't bother either. The revert patch puts things back together, including the mkpasswd source. It didn't seem like it really applied to whois though, so I didn't mention it in the readme. If that bugs you I'll change it. Again, I didn't change ANY whois source. Oh, now that I think about it I did make one small change to some ancillary perl apps that help during the build process. It was a one-liner that is so trivial I doubt anyone'd care, but kept them from causing problems under some conditions. In any case, they're in the revert patch. Considering the small changes I made, I don't think it'd be necessary to split out another directory for cygwin patches. But, you're the pro. If you still think I should make the changes let me know.

Fixed. I'm not sure how the cygwin readme in the source package is supposed to be named/located. I just dropped it in there. Mark > -Original Message- > From: Gerrit P.

RE: whois package
I got a couple of notes last week from Chris and Jonathan Kamens suggesting bw-whois as the package of choice, but no pro or con list. I basically assumed that a compiled version would be more generally preferred, since it would be easier to use in stripped down installations of cygwin (not having any perl baggage). Does anyone know if there's any particular cool feature that bw-whois supports that the GNU whois package at http://www.gnu.org/gnulist/production/whois.html does not? I don't really see any significant difference, but if I'm gonna maintain a package I'd sorta like to maintain the right thing.

RE: whois package
ok. Next question. Can we shamelessly steal code from bind for inclusion in cygwin? I'm not familiar with its licensing, but the copyright notice looks like it gives full permission to use their code as we see fit.

RE: whois package
Going back to dig and host, I'm guessing that the maintainer would need to actually be a maintainer for the whole bind package? Am I right in assuming that having bind as a cygwin package would provide libresolv functionality, or would more be required.

RE: whois package
No reliance on perl. Easier to use on stripped down cygwin installations. I'd think that would be a benefit in the long run. I like perl, but I'd think the compiled version would be preferred. I also thought the mkpasswd inclusion was odd. I just ripped it out of the source and said bye-bye.

RE: whois package
Just took a look at the bw.org version and realised that it's perl based. I'd really rather support one that can be compiled. Without significant reason otherwise, I'll stick with the gnu package.

RE: whois package
Sorry. I should've identified the package in the original email. The one I had planned on supporting was http://www.gnu.org/gnulist/production/whois.html. It's always seemed to work well for me. I wasn't aware the bw.org version, though. Any good reason to pick that one versus the gnu package? Mark > -Original Message- > From: Gerrit P.

I would be interested in being a package maintainer for GNU whois (and maybe dig and host down the road). Any interest in such? Mark
