Customizing setup.exe
I find myself regularly customizing and rebuilding setup in order to dummy-proof it for our internal users. I'm specifically doing two things: - providing the correct defaults for our proxy server - pointing the mirror list at a local archive that I rsync periodically with the latest packages (which generally obviates the need for the new defaults for the proxy server, but what the heck). The latter allows me time to test new packages (in order to insulate local users from occasional problems) and assures some degree of uniformity of package versions. So... I find myself changing the following lines and rebuilding setup every time setup changes: in net.cc, load_dialog(): net_proxy_port = 80; in res.rc, STRINGTABLE: IDS_MIRROR_LST "http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.lst"; in state.cc, globals: char *net_proxy_host; int net_proxy_port; I'd like to make this process a bit more automatic, so that you can simply specify these as additional options to configure. Unfortunately, I don't quite know how to do that, since I'm not familiar with autotools. I got a copy of the book, but I'd really appreciate a pointer in the right direction. Setup appears to be making use of some of the more arcane autotool features. I really don't have the time right now to figure it all out, but this seems like a good learning opportunity if I can start off with the right focus. I can get at the CVS version, so I'll provide a proper patch once I figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. -Jerry

RE: ITP: swig-1.3.11-1
The following change to the setup.hint that I published was suggested on the SWIG mailing list: --- category: Devel requires: cygwin sdesc: "Simplified Wrapper Interface Generator" ldesc: "Simplified Wrapper Interface Generator. SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in C, C++, and Objective-C with a variety of high-level programming languages. SWIG is primarily used with common scripting languages such as Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk, Ruby, Guile and MzScheme, however the list of supported languages also includes non-scripting languages such as Java and Eiffel. SWIG is most commonly used to create high-level interpreted programming environments and as a tool for building user interfaces. SWIG may be freely used, distributed, and modified for commercial and noncommercial use. See http://www.swig.org for more details." --- Unfortunately, my ISP's FTP server is currently hosed, so I can't put a copy of this there right now. :-( -Jerry -O Gerald S.

RE: [RFC] SWIG package
That's because I haven't built them yet (actually I have, but I want to do a clean rebuild with the latest "official" SWIG, which I'll probably do early next week). I interpreted the instructions at http://cygwin.com/setup.html#submitting as indicating that I should first propose the package, in case there's some reason why the package isn't already available. I don't currently have a public FTP site set up. In the past, I've posted things to world.std.com (now ftp://ftp.std.com), although the public uploads section seems to have gone away, so I'll have to find another or break down and set up the web page my dial-up ISP supposedly provides. (Unfortunately, that will be going away shortly when I finally get my cable modem hookup.) :-) -Jerry -O Gerald S.

SWIG package maintainer?
Is there no Cygwin package maintainer for SWIG? I've been building it without any patches for quite a while (some of the test cases used to fail to build, but I think that's been resolved for a while now as well). I can put together SWIG packages in Cygwin form. How much additional work does it take to be a package maintainer? -Jerry -O Gerald S.

Creating a local mirror for setup.exe
We've been creating a local Cygwin package "mirror" by downloading to a networked directory and installing from there. This seems to work, but you have to be careful to prevent setup.exe from getting confused. But now I need to change some of the packages in that "mirror". I need to build Python with threads enabled and I need to add SWIG. I've built the prerequisite .tar.bz2 files. In the python case I bumped the "port" from -1 to -2. Simply copying the python file into contrib/python is enough to make it visible to setup (although it is not the default). The SWIG file needs an entry in setup.ini, though. If you delete setup.ini, you can actually install SWIG and the other packages (they appear under Misc), but I suspect this probably a bad idea. I'd like to simply be able to update the setup.ini file. I saw some references to an update_setup tool. Is that what we need? Or should we do something entirely different? I suspect that there might be a much better way to set up a local mirror. We can even put it on an FTP server if that's easier to deal with. This sounds like it should be a simple RTFM question, which I'll gladly do. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks, -Jerry -O Gerald S.
