All good questions! I spotted and fixed the first already in v2.7.3-2;
This 2.7.3-2 is incorrect on a few counts:
1) if the *only* issue is dependencies (and not the contents of the
build itself) then we can fix the setup.hint on sourceware without a new
release.
2) it looks like you manually repackaged some but not all of git for
this. A release should be a complete build with cygport, not some
ad-hoc improvisation.
Because of the latter, I have removed the 2.7.3-2 tarballs from the
distro. If you need to make a rebuild to fix packaging issues, please
spin a complete 2.7.3-3 build.
the other two I'm not sure what changed -- I've been using the same
Cygport file and haven't done anything to remove those dependencies --
but I'll have a look when I get time to do some more digging, hopefully
tomorrow.
Either something changed in the package itself (e.g. executable
permissions on scripts?) or its a change in cygport. Either way, let's
fix this so that these packages work OOTB.
(BTW, thanks to jturney for this new feature in calm. I hope people
will pay attention to these from now on.)
