I'm unclear about how the -src packages (are/should be) handled, since there are a great many "binary" packages in XFree, but only a few original "source" packages. In the past, when multiple "binary" packages are generated from a single "source" package, we've done the following: ncurses-5.2-?-src.tar.bz2 contains the actual src dist for ncurses/libncurses, with cygwin patches, build scripts, etc However, building this -src generates two "binary" packages: ncurses-5.2-?.tar.bz2 libncurses6-5.2-?.tar.bz2 So, we create an empty libncurses6-5.2-?-src.tar.bz2 that contains only a single README that says "go look over there, in ncurses-5.2-?-src.tar.bz2". Now, this works, and upset/setup are happy (every binary package has a "src" package) but it is hackish, ugly, and a pain to maintain. Is there a better solution? (Or can we discard the psuedo-src packages without repurcussion? Won't upset be upset by the "bin without src" problem?) --Chuck
