I'm sorry I'm nit-picking on this one, but I think this is one package which is VERY important to get right, being that it's the foundation of getting GNOME 2.6 built.
I noticed the file /usr/lib/charset.alias in your glib-devel package. I've pointed out before that "cygcheck -f /usr/lib/charset.alias" gets back at least four packages with this same file (fileutils, gettext, texinfo, textutils). The answer I got was that it belongs to gettext, but other packages using built-in gettexts were making similar files. Of course, I don't think I need to explain the problem of clobbering files.
The question is, how to solve it. Some possibilities:
1) if we move all of GNOME (i.e. glib-and-up dependant) to /opt/gnome2, then it won't clobber anyway, and this becomes a non-issue. 2) if we stay in /usr, then is the file needed? The file in your package is just a few commented lines, as is that file in gettext. Is it possible to remove it from the package in the script (e.g. like info/dir)?
Anyway, I DO want to see this in the distro. I'll try to find a way of testing this without my already-installed CyGnome2 glib interfering; there's a few things that I can try building against glib. Thanks!!
