It overrides the package name for the enclosing directory. This is an optional entry. It is intended only for historical packages where the package name is different from the name of the directory in which the package resides. This should not be necessary for modern setup.hint filesa. I don't know what's causing the epidemic of package maintainers thinking they need '@' but it seems like this is almost a FAQ. Of course since there is already documentation indicating that this field is not necessary, I don't think that a FAQ would do much good. cgf

PS: Some cygwin-specific patches don't work OOTB with MSVC, so I have to fix some more in the upcoming huge upstream patch. And some libwin32 tests require Administrator. Suddenly Jan Dubois released an updated libwin32-0.24 at CPAN today, containing the current ActiveState status (5.8.6.811). What should I do? Make a new one based on this immediately, or wait a bit until 0.191 is out? This contains none of our patches so far, but he said that he will be responsive in the near future. Fine. At the first glance 0.24 brings almost nothing new compared to 0.191 It's a bit a problem because site_perl overrides vendor_perl, and if someone installs libwin32 via CPAN our modules are gone.
Bug in /etc/postinstall/passwd-grp.sh [Attn: base-passwd maintainer]
FYI, line 23 should read chmod --silent --reference=/etc/passwd /etc/group instead of chmod --silent --reference=/etc/passwd group otherwise the script produces an error: chmod: cannot access `group': No such file or directory Igor -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] ZZZzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski, Ph.D. '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.
