[Setup] Need customization on setup.exe
Hi, This is Krishna from Symbian Foundation (Mobile Phone Operating System). Currently we have windows installer to install Symbian developer tools. Size of the tools are huge and want to improve on the installer. Cygwin installer is best fit for our need, like download the light weight installer and then download all the user selected components under the hood from network. Following are the requirements of our project 1) Clone the setup.exe project and customize it 2) Symbian logo in the installer, instead of a Cygiwn logo 3) Have our own categories like Build, Test, Analysis, etc 4) Need to access multiple mirror locations, as few components will be hosted by Nokia and few components will be hosted by Symbian 5) Customized End-user license agreement (EULA). Pls let us know, is it possible to have the requirements mentioned above as part of Cygwin setup.exe project. Regards, Krishna. Some facts about Symbian that we are legally obliged to tell you: Symbian Foundation Limited is a Company Limited by Guarantee and not having Share Capital We're registered in England and Wales - Companies House knows us by the number 6683783 Our address is 1 Boundary Row, Southwark, London SE1 8HP.

If you are asking for us to do the above work for you (which you probably aren't) then the answer is a resounding NO. If you're asking if the above is possible then, except for 5) the answer is an obvious yes. It's just software after all. You can't slap your own EULA on the code. This is GPLed code. If you distribute the binary, you need to also be able to send people the source code. You can't put your own license on it. If you decide to go ahead with this, it probably goes without saying that we won't be interested in supporting your efforts here. I don't believe that anyone is going to want to help you customize setup.exe in this manner but, if they do, it isn't really an appropriate subject for the Cygwin mailing lists since this would not really have anything to do with Cygwin. cgf
Re: [Setup] Need customization on setup.exe
Hi Christopher, Thank you very much the quick reply. Sorry for the confusion. We will make all the required changes to Setup. But was interested to know the required changes are possible or not. With you reply, all (except 5) are possible as it's just a software after all. Probably, we need your support in making a clone of the Setup, so that we can make required changes on top of it. Please let us know the procedure to have a clone of the Setup project?. FYI: I was able to successfully build the sources of Setup that I got using CVS. Regards, Krishna.

What form of support are you talking about? The setup program is available under the terms of the GPL. Stick with the GPL and you're fine. Please let us know the procedure to have a clone of the Setup project?. Are you asking for a copy of the cvs repository? -- Brendan Conoboy / Red Hat, Inc. / b...@redhat.com

I read 5 as being a EULA for the software that the modified setup would _install_ rather than an EULA for setup itself. Christopher, in this case is 5 still not possible (assuming that none of the software the modified setup installs goes against the EULA?) BTW, Krishna, this list usually bottom posts ;)

You can probably clone the existing repo, but it doesn't sound like you're interested in version history prior to now. Just pick the source code control system you prefer to use and put your current source checkout into it. This really isn't a cygwin-apps topic. -- Brendan Conoboy / Red Hat, Inc. / b...@redhat.com

If you want to make your own copy of the sources then nobody is going to stop you. setup.exe is licensed under the GPL. We are not going to give you write access to CVS. That doesn't make any sense (How would it scale if everybody who wanted their own customized version required me to set you up? How would that benefit Cygwin?) and you shouldn't want to use an external site for your local development anyway. If you're talking about just adding a EULA for the binaries that you install then that falls into It's just software category. setup.exe's GPL nature doesn't infect the binaries that it installs and displaying an additional screen is trivial. If you're talking about adding a EULA concering the proper use of setup.exe, that is not something you can do unless the EULA ust reiterates the GPL. cgf
