In any case, I think that the DJGPP source distribution should
come with the files under `tests/' already edited and converted
to the DOS-style CRLF EOL format (where appropriate). (If you
decide to accept this advice, you need to take into consideration
that someone might run config.bat again, so the conversion Sed
scripts should be prepared for multiple editing.)
Yes, it actually does. It checks for *.orig files and always runs
"sed" on them. The only problem here is that the *.orig will have to
be distributed which increase the package size a bit.
5) A note: since `true' and `false' are now programs, you need to
make sure shl20b.dsm includes commands to uninstall the old shell
scripts by those names before installing the binaries.
Ok, but what do I need to do for this one? In other words, what are
the lines to be added in the DSM?
6) Finally, it looks like the DJGPP source distribution will require
to run the configure script before building. If that is true,
I'd like to suggest to make any reasonable effort so that the
sources could come already configured. AFAIK, every other ported
package does that; we should try not to require users to have all
those additional utilities installed just to rebuild a package.
I uploaded a configured package last time, without any problems. It's
in v2gnu/beta/shl20is.zip. I haven't tried that with the new one, but
I'll do it when I find more time. The foremost thing in my mind is to
have DJGPP support added so that Sh-utils can be built "out of the
box".
