Here's what I do:
after cygport puts everything in the foo-$VER-$REL/dist/ directory, I
cd foo-$VER-$REL/dist/
mkdir /tmp/MY-TEST-REPO/release/
cp -a foo /tmp/MY-TEST-REPO/release/
cd /tmp/MY-TEST-REPO/
genini --recursive release > setup.ini
Be sure you're using the latest version of genini. There are some cases
where genini is happy, but upset won't be -- and vice versa. :-(
However, in most cases using genini is a pretty good validator.
