Yes, but the devil is in the details. I'm trying to come up with some sort of generic solution where you add a file CYGWIN-PATCHES/upstream_patches.lst, whose contents (if the file exists) is a list of patch files that should be bundled into the patch tarball, and which should be applied before generating the cygwin-specific diff. Then, based on the existance of CYGWIN-PATCHES/upstream_patchlist, g-b-s would generate either a plain foo-1.1-1.patch (no upstream patches provided), or a tarball foo-1.1-1.patch.tar.bz2 with both the upstream and cygwin patches. > > >>Actually, now that setup.exe has been updated to use /bin/bash and not >>/bin/sh, the technical reason for me needing two postinstall scripts in >>the first place has been overcome, so I may just simplify back to a >>single script that does it all, rather than staging it through a .bat. > > > You can't, unfortunately.
