Re: [adding docs to nasm] unfulfilled build deps for pdf
Is there some part of the package missing? If so, it isn't clear from your message. What's AFPL? Ghostscript is released (first) under a non-free but opensource license (Alladin Free Public License), and then six months to one year later under the GPL (when it is called GNU Ghostscript). Currently, the AFPL version of ghostscript is at version 8.00, while GNU ghostscript is at 7.05. We (cygwin) distribute GNU ghostscript. So I *think* what the poster was saying, was that the nasm docs require a ghostscript newer than 7.05 --- e.g. 8.0, which is currently available only as an AFPL release. --Chuck
[adding docs to nasm] unfulfilled build deps for pdf
As per your suggestion to add the extra docs to the nasm package, I have found that nasm requires AFPL ghostscript to build the pdf. This package is not currently part of cygwin (although there is an old contrib that never made it here: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2002-10/msg00185.html ). So my question is, is there a policy regarding relying on non-(official)cygwin packages for builds? I can easily just add the pdf built on linux to the binary package, but this would mean that the source package will be incapable (under cygwin) of producing the binary. The other option as Joshua suggested is to provide a separate docs package (which doesnt need a corresponding source).

You're quoting a message from the ghostscript package maintainer. This package was dutifully uploaded to sources.redhat.com by our ever vigilant Pavel Tsekov.
