Hmm, you're right - cygport is currently hardcoded to only outputting postinstall information for the primary ${PN}, regardless of how many additional packages get created during the process. This seems like a cygport limitation - maybe Yaakov has some more insight? But I think you are still okay - you only need the cygport postinstall additions appended in the primary emacs package, for two reasons - the cygport additions only install info files, which are already limited to the primary emacs package; and the emacs-X11 package depends on emacs, so that part of the postinstall will get run regardless of which of the two packages the user selected. So I think the answer is as follows - for creating /etc/postinstall/emacs.sh, simply put your prefix into CYGWIN_PATCHES/postinstall.sh, and let cygport append its trailer and do the renaming. For creating /etc/postinstall/emacs-X11.sh, put your entire file in CYGWIN_PATCHES/emacs-X11-post.sh, then have your .cygport file do the following as part of src_install: dodir /etc/postinstall cp ${C}/emacs-X11-post.sh ${D}/etc/postinstall/emacs-X11.sh Oh, and don't forget the corresponding preremoves. Again, using /etc/preremove/automake<n>.sh as a guide, you will need something similar to this for your two preremoves: prefix=/usr bindir=${prefix}/bin sbindir=${prefix}/sbin ${sbindir}/update-alternatives --remove emacs ${bindir}/emacs-nox.exe Again, cygport makes the emacs preremove easy, but you will have to do the same trick as for the postinstall to get the emacs-X11 preremove installed. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
