Dunno. I'll port forward my existing patches (except the relocatable stuff), and then see. It's when I'm forward porting that I usually discover what's been obsoleted, and what needs to be reworked, among my patches. Offhand, I'd say: (1) being able to specify a -d path to cvs that differs from CVS_MODULE (used by libgeotiff; the actual libgeotiff source is not a module itself, but is buried inside the 'geotiff' module. I don't want that other stuff, AND I don't want src/geotiff/libgeotiff, nor the libgeotiff-tarball having geotiff/ in it, where geotiff/ is otherwise empty.) (2) a post install hook (used by rxvt-unicode) (3) custom-cmds patch (otherwise running the cvs testsuite all-at-once is just too painful, since there is no -k option...it's shell script driven, not makefile driven) THEN I'll think about how to port the bitrotted relocatable stuff. But that may just be too ugly and intrusive, and not useful enough for anything other than libiconv and gettext, to push into the official cygport. I don't mind maintaining THAT out-of-tree; it was just that /plus/ all the other patches that made me want to take up a more serene hobby, like basejumping. -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
