Hello, I have been trying to figure out the right way to rebuild this package from the upstream sources, but I come across this particularities: -the upstream sources are already distributed in *.run format, meaning they are packaged using makeself. -this package consist of two shell scripts, plus the man page and doc files, so there is no "config-make-make install" process. These facts make me think the standard procedure of re-building a package doesn't fit here. I also read the Cygwin Package Contributor's Guide, and downloaded some more-or-less simple packages to see how this task is acomplished. No surprise in finding different approaches: some use a script, others the still obscure to me cygport util... My question, then, is this: What do you think would be the proper way in this case? -the cygport procedure applies, and is mandatory, for process standarization. Just Learn How (TM). -a modified script (i.e. d-1.2.0-1.sh contained in d-1.2.0-1-src.tar.bz2) can be used for this purpose. -a handcrafted script useful only for this package. -any other? Regards. -- Huella de clave = 943C D77F 0CB0 02FE 166E E06F D13A A2E1 98A5 C953
