…I would like to adopt the GNU miscfiles package. I have constructed the following cygport file, which seems to do the trick: NAME=miscfiles VERSION=1.5 RELEASE=1 SUMMARY="Miscellaneous data files" HOMEPAGE="https://www.gnu.org/software/miscfiles/"; SRC_URI="https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/${PN}/${PN}-${PV}.tar.gz"; CATEGORY=Misc DESCRIPTION="This is the GNU Miscfiles package, which is a collection of files not of crucial importance for system administration or operation, but which have come to be common on various systems over the years. It includes data files for country codes, airport codes, currency information, and so on." CYGCONF_ARGS="--datarootdir=/usr/share/misc" src_install() { cd ${B} cygmake -j11 DESTDIR=${D} install dodir /usr/share/dict dosym ../misc/web2a /usr/share/dict/words dodoc ${D}/usr/share/misc/GNU-manifesto rm ${D}/usr/share/misc/GNU-manifesto } The last line in my src_install() override seems heavy-handed. I would have thought that dodoc would move the file into the doc directory from its default install location for me. Can I avoid overriding src_install() entirely? All I want to do here is move the GNU-manifesto file to the doc dir and create a /usr/share/dict/words symlink.
