Hi Yaakov

Is the following the "official" cygport method to create obsoleted packages ?

For example I want to obsolete from the nettle-2.4 package the runtime
parts by providing new empty tarballs so that users who will upgrade to
nettle-2.5 will get rid of unsued dll's related to nettle-2.4.


nettle-2.4-2.cygport
====================

CATEGORY="_obsolete"
SUMMARY="Removed package"

# Only the runtime packages should be obsoleted"

This is what I get.

-rw-r--r--+ 1 vzell None      14 Aug 30 14:49 libhogweed2_1-2.4-2.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r--+ 1 vzell None      14 Aug 30 14:49 libnettle4_3-2.4-2.tar.bz2


What about the "find: `*': No such file or directory" error ?

And should I put in the nettle-2.5-1.cygport an explicit

REQUIRES="libnettle4_3 libhogweed2_1"

so that these will be pulled in when somebody installs nettle-2.5 ?
(effectively it should delete the old dll's)


Thanks
  Volker
