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" DESCRIPTION="Removed package" HOMEPAGE="http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/" SRC_URI="http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/archive/${P}.tar.gz http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/archive/${P}.tar.gz.sig" abi=4_3 hogweed_abi=2_1 # Only the runtime packages should be obsoleted" PKG_NAMES="lib${PN}${abi} libhogweed${hogweed_abi}" libnettle4_3_CONTENTS= #empty libhogweed2_1_CONTENTS= #empty 03:08 PM [507]> cygport nettle-2.4-2.cygport prep pkg >>> Preparing nettle-2.4-2 *** Info: SOURCE 1 signature follows: gpg: WARNING: using insecure memory! gpg: please see http://www.gnupg.org/faq.html for more information gpg: Signature made Sat, Sep 03, 2011 3:04:13 PM CEST using DSA key ID A8F4C2FD gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found >>> Unpacking source nettle-2.4.tar.gz >>> Preparing working source directory *** Info: applying patch nettle-2.4-2.cygwin.patch: patching file CYGWIN-PATCHES/README *** Info: applying patch nettle-2.4-2.src.patch: patching file Makefile.in patching file configure.ac patching file testsuite/Makefile.in >>> Packaging nettle-2.4-2 >>> Creating binary package(s) >>> libnettle4_3-2.4-2.tar.bz2 *** Info: Creating empty package >>> libhogweed2_1-2.4-2.tar.bz2 *** Info: Creating empty package *** Info: No debug files, skipping debuginfo subpackage >>> Checking packages for missing or duplicate files find: `*': No such file or directory >>> Creating source patches CYGWIN-PATCHES/README | 83 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Makefile.in | 16 +++------ configure.ac | 6 +-- testsuite/Makefile.in | 2 - 4 files changed, 92 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) >>> Creating source package nettle-2.4-2.cygport nettle-2.4-2.cygwin.patch nettle-2.4-2.src.patch nettle-2.4.tar.gz nettle-2.4.tar.gz.sig >>> libnettle4_3 requires: >>> libhogweed2_1 requires: This is what I get. -rw-r--r--+ 1 vzell None 1085342 Aug 30 14:49 nettle-2.4-2-src.tar.bz2 -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 -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
