Re: Ready for test coreutils-5.2.0-1 [again]

2004-03-14 Thread Nicholas Wourms
Here's what's changed since my last packaging attempt:

1) The following files are deleted from the distribution:
usr/bin/uptime.exe
usr/bin/kill.exe
usr/share/man/man1/uptime.1.gz
usr/share/man/man1/kill.1.gz
2) Fileutils patches have been included.

Package is available at the same location:

http://blackburn.homeip.net/cygwin-packages/release/coreutils/coreutils-5.2.0-1-src.tar.bz2 

http://blackburn.homeip.net/cygwin-packages/release/coreutils/coreutils-5.2.0-1.tar.bz2 

I have a suggestion for how to deal with the old 
fileutils/textutils/etc.  Provide empty versions of the packages this 
replaces, bumping each by 1 revision.  This way, it should uninstall 
the old stuff before installing the new stuff.  At least, it worked for 
Jan when the new teTeX packages were made.  Also, IIRC, some of the 
packages were linked against libbinmode.a to prevent problems with 
CR/LF.  I wonder if this ought to be libautomode?

Also, our /bin/sh is pretty much braindead (no job control, amoungst 
other things) since it was decided that shaving 50k off of ash is worth 
not having a POSIX compliant version.  Subsequently, the nohup script 
will not work with /bin/sh (ash), so it is necessary to force it to use 
bash instead.  See the following scripts from mknetrel to see what needs 
to be done pre/post config  build:
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/mknetrel/extra/fileutils?rev=1.2content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markupcvsroot=cygwin-apps
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/mknetrel/extra/sh-utils?rev=1.3content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markupcvsroot=cygwin-apps
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/mknetrel/extra/textutils?rev=1.2content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markupcvsroot=cygwin-apps

Note that it is easier to just to pass -L/usr/lib -lbinmode to LDFLAGS 
instead of bothering with printing gcc's search path.

Finally, this is kinda picky, but why not use bzip2 instead of gzip for 
the manpages?

Do I create the empty packages or is it up to the previous maintainers 
of fileutils/textutils/sh-utils to do this? And is it simply a matter of 
running:
 for i in fileutils-4.2-3.tar textutils-2.0.21-2 sh-utils-2.0.15-5; do
   touch  $i; bzip2 $i
 done

About linking with libbinmode.a (or as cgf noted binmode.o), I built 
fileutils, textutils and sh-utils from the cygwin src packages and I 
didn't see that being done.

Also, our /bin/sh is pretty much braindead (no job control, amoungst 
other things) since it was decided that shaving 50k off of ash is 
worth not having a POSIX compliant version.  Subsequently, the nohup

http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/mknetrel/extra/textutils?rev=1.2content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markupcvsroot=cygwin-apps 


The nohup in coreutils is a binary, not a script as in sh-utils. So I 
don't know whether the mknetrel scripts have any relevance for coreutils.

Note that it is easier to just to pass -L/usr/lib -lbinmode to LDFLAGS 
instead of bothering with printing gcc's search path.

Finally, this is kinda picky, but why not use bzip2 instead of gzip 
for the manpages?
If in the future, man pages are to be bzipped instead of gzipped then 
maybe a patch should be made to generic-build-script. AFAIK no cygwin 
package currently bzips its man pages.

Hello,

following patch does allow the 'check' target to be built.

It:
*) removes $(EXEEXT) where needed (this should probably go upstream...)
*) allows checking to continue after errors

To use it the test_rule in the build-script has to be set to 'check'.
(there also is a target check-root...)

Apply the patch with:
patch coreutils-5.2.0-1.patchthe_patch

hth,

Buzz.

agree.  Any cygwin-specific patches that were in the old packages that 
haven't been pushed back all the way to official coreutils, need to be 
kept in cygwin's coreutils.

There are still conflicting binaries:

kill.exe : cygwin-1.5.7-1
this is _probably_ cygwin specific.  I'd either rename the coreutils one 
to 'corekill', or not distribute coreutil's kill at all.

readlink.exe : cygutils-1.2.4-1
I'll go ahead and remove this program from cygutils -- but only *after* 
coreutils has made it thru its initial shake-down period.  Thus, I won't 
delay cygutils-1.2.5 waiting for coreutils to finish ITP'ing -- but I'll 
release cygutils-1.2.6 very soon after coreutils goes 'gold'.

uptime.exe : procps-010801-2
my linux box shows /usr/bin/uptime as part of procps, not coreutils. 
Another candidate for a rename?  (coreps?)

I think the way other packages have dealt with this problem is by
renaming with a prefix (corekill like prockill) or just
not installing them. I don't want to speak for Chuck, but the
other option is, if he gets a new cygutils ready with Harold's
mkshortcut patch he could also remove readlink from cygutils.

That's correct.  /usr/lib/charset.alias SHOULD only be installed by the 
gettext package (since all the other projects which provide that file, 
get it by virtue of their local copy of the gettext sources).

Unfortunately, fileutils, texinfo, and textutils all include it -- in

the announcement would suffice, but somehow I doubt it...
 

BTW I have updated the setup.hint file:

sdesc: Basic file, shell and text manipulation utilities.
ldesc: The GNU Core Utilities are the basic file, shell and text manipulation

I believe the official name is sh-utils...
 

The project name is shellutils, the tarball is named

Ready for test coreutils-5.2.0-1

2004-03-11 Thread Mark Blackburn
I've created a new coreutils package that I hope addresses some of the 
concerns recently voiced about it:

 -cp.exe corrupting files when copying from binary to text mounts.
 -printf.exe (and others) being statically linked with libintl.a and 
libiconv.a created large binaries.

There are also some patches I'm considering adding from fileutils-4.1-2 
(proposed-fileutils-patches.txt). I got these by diffing fileutils-4.1 
with the src package for fileutils-4.1-2. I was hoping that the previous 
maintainer could comment on these patches so I could figure out if they 
are relevant for the coreutils package.

Mark,

Thanks for packaging this and being willing to maintain it.
Comments below.

 There are also some patches I'm considering adding from fileutils-4.1-2 
 (proposed-fileutils-patches.txt). I got these by diffing fileutils-4.1 
 with the src package for fileutils-4.1-2. I was hoping that the previous 
 maintainer could comment on these patches so I could figure out if they 
 are relevant for the coreutils package.

If they the changes haven't been made in the coreutils source, why 
not continue using the Cygwin-specific patches?

There are still conflicting binaries:

kill.exe : cygwin-1.5.7-1
readlink.exe : cygutils-1.2.4-1
uptime.exe : procps-010801-2

I think the way other packages have dealt with this problem is by
renaming with a prefix (corekill like prockill) or just
not installing them. I don't want to speak for Chuck, but the
other option is, if he gets a new cygutils ready with Harold's
mkshortcut patch he could also remove readlink from cygutils.

As for obsoleting {file,sh-,text}utils, what we did with 
newlib-man-cygwin-doc was create an empty newlib-man-$NEWVERISON
and put that in cygwin-doc's requires. That could work here.

Speaking of setups.hint, coreutils' ldesc starts with A command line 
file transfer program. It suppore Utilities ???

Other than that, the packages looks good. My basic see-if-it-runs
tests worked (for i in *exe; do ./$i --help  foo; done), and the
source package builds the binary package. 



By the way, downloading the packages was really slow for me. I took
the liberty of putting them here for any other potential reviewers:
