Very nice. I like this idea much more. > I'm also a bit puzzled about the onc_rpc_download function. > There's SVN support inside of cygport, see the "inherit svn" chapter in > /usr/share/doc/cygport/manual.html.

I'm also a bit incomfortable with this, but if you take a closer look, it doesn't just download the SVN tree. It downloads two trees (main source and manual pages) and extracts parts from them. It is possible to do this using 'inherit svn' method ? > What's missing is a plan how to go forward for 32 bit now.

Actually, this was, and still is, my long-term plan. But, all this stuff is actually needed for NFS server to work. In order to transplant it to new TI-RPC, portmap has to be replaced with rpcbind. So this will be my next package. Also, NFS server by itself is outdated, not maintained any more, and supports only v2 protocol. I have found a better replacement at sourceforge, but haven't tested it yet. I want to set up all three things, then at once replace the whole NFS stack on 32 bits. It is technically possible to make 32-bit version of onc-rpc right now, but it will break NFS dependencies. >> This is also a second attempt to post this message.

I have posted it, and looks like it even bounced back from the list, but got no single reply. -- Kind regards, Pavel mailto:pavel_fe...@mail.ru
