that I'm looking for a simple way to fill up the 64 bit distro with
all the packages which don't come with binaries, but consist entirely
of scripts and docs.
This should get us started:
for p in $(find release/ -name '*[0-9].tar.bz2');
do
if [ $(wc -c $p | cut -d' ' -f1) -gt 46 ] \
&& [ -f ${p%\.tar\.bz2}-src.tar.bz2 ] \
&& [ $(find ${p%/*} -name setup.hint | wc -l) -eq 1 ];
then
tar tf $p|grep -Eq '\.(exe|dll|so|a|cmxs|oct|dbg)' || echo ${p%/*};
fi;
done
However, I still think that separate i686/x86_64/noarch trees is the way
to go, otherwise those using both Cygwins will end up needlessly
downloading the same package twice, which doesn't happen on multilib
Linux distributions (even when there are two copies on the server).
