Re: Package categorization inconsistencies

Sometimes the docs are part of the base package, sometimes they are in the same group as their base package, sometimes they are in the Documentation group, sometimes in Applications/Publishing. Sometimes the package is called -doc, sometimes -docs. Nothing to worry about I guess. Corinna glproto, presentproto, xextproto, xproto: In Devel category, but not X11 category, yet they are part of X11. And, vice versa: the other *proto packages that are in X11 probably should be in Devel, too. That might in fact be helpful.

Re: setup wants to install new packages

I just started setup-x86_64.exe, and OOTB it wants to install 9 new packages. I didn't select them, and they're not required - setup just selected them for me. Does anyone know why? If you'd seen the setup code, you wouldn't ask that ;) Anyone else ever see this? Not me. BTW this is a transient problem: when I exit setup and restart, the new packages aren't selected again. Weird. I guess, somebody having this problem would have to debug this. /nudge Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat pgpcURdGtVT1h.pgp Description: PGP signature

It may still be a few days before I can test that your new packaging works for me (I'd welcome a review from anyone else as well), but the overall idea of adopting the package from me seems reasonable. There's already a known, fairly major problem with my build, reported by Steven Penny[0]. I'm hoping to get a fix to that out tomorrow evening. [0]: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-01/msg00086.html There's a new build available at http://tastycake.net/~adam/cygwin/ which resolves that issue. If you want to give it a try and let me know how you get on, I'd be exceedingly grateful. I've now had a chance to test this, and at least my use cases worked. I can't say I used ALL of git functionality, but what I did use shows that your build is good. Let's go ahead and pass the maintainer baton. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com+1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
