Like I said, NOT a showstopper. you ONLY see this behavior if you click the src checkbox for multiple packages that all share the same source. It's only downloaded once. When setup is done, you have the source. Behind the scenes, that source package gets installed multiple times. Big deal. IMO, if upset gets the ability to do the right thing with an 'external-src:' directive in setup.hint, then everything necessary for multiple-bin/single-src packages would be in place. --Chuck --Chuck

It's all data driven and there is no requirement for -src packages to follow the same name as the base. Whaddaya know. It works. point setup.exe here: http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/testing/ There are 3 packages, bob, bobx, and boby. only bob has a -src package, the other two have source: lines that explicitly specify bob's source package. It seems to work perfectly -- with only a single niggle: if you select the source for more than one of [bob|bobx|boby], then it is downloaded only once (good) but is unpacked three times. This isn't a terrible thing, but it is a waste of effort If you play around with this, you can clean up by uninstalling the binary packages, and deleting the file /usr/src/bob.file.src. (Or, you can delete /bob.file, /bobx.file, /boby.file, and /usr/src/bob.file.src, and remove the bob, bobx, and boby entries from /etc/setup/installed.db) So, except for the niggle above, if upset were modified to allow the external-src: keyword, then multiple-binary-packages from one -src package would work! (and the niggle isn't a show stopper). --Chuck

I can't wait to see how many people use Cygwin/XFree86 now! Ditto. Hope you're ready for this. It's up there. Should be on mirrors shortly. One thing I just noticed, though (by looking at http://cygwin.com/packages/), was that the source tar.bz2 files don't seem to be part of this. There should probably be fewer source tar balls than binary but they should be part of the distribution, right? If not, we'll inevitably get questions. cgf

-Original Message- From: Harold Hunt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, April 20, 2002 6:56 AM In a related question that has to do with my laziness, I need a way to tarball a CVS tree without including the CVS directories. I'm sure this can be done with a simple script, but I'm a programmer not a script writer. Anyone want to point me to an existing script that does this, or write one for me? Grab the -src for one of the packages that Chuck or I maintain - say libxslt. There is a tar command in the .sh that filters out various directories... I'm sure you can adapt it easily. Rob

So, what do I do for packaging? Which of the XFree86-* packages do I include source with? Do I include one huge tarball with everything and another small tarball that has just the hw/xwin directory so that it can be easily updated? I'm confused. I had the same thoughts and hoped you'd have a brilliant solution. :-) I didn't quite gather from the earlier discussions whether we can have a source package seperate from any binary packages. i.e., could we have XFree86-full-src without an associated binary package? Or would we have to make XFree86-base-src the package that contained the full source archive. Hmm. Yes. I think this would work. That might be the best solution. In fact, it may be a nice trend setter. In a related question that has to do with my laziness, I need a way to tarball a CVS tree without including the CVS directories.

In fact, it may be a nice trend setter. I think setup.exe needs a little work before doing this, but it's a good direction. (i.e. setup.exe should have a view to only show src packages, and a view to only show binaries - to avoid confusing folk). (Think apt-get source vs apt-get install). How about my 'external-src: ' idea? setup hint for XFree86-[anything but base]-... external-src: XFree86-base setup hint for XFree86-base- no external-src tag and both upset and setup will understand this and do the right thing: upset needs to, for those pkgs with an external-src in their setup hint, find the -src tarball for the indicated package, whose VER-REL string matches the package-under-consideration, and put THAT into setup.hint, so (for the fonts package) you get install: release/xfree/xfree86-fonts/XFree86-fonts-4.2.0-2.tar.bz2 source: release/xfree/xfree86-base/XFree86-base-4.2.0-2-src.tar.bz2 [prev] install: release/xfree/xfree86-fonts/XFree86-fonts-4.2.0-1.tar.bz2 source: release/xfree/xfree86-base/XFree86-base-4.2.0-1-src.tar.bz2 Also, setup must do the following (even without new 'views' and whatnot) 1) all XFree86-...- indicate that src is available (that is, 'presence of a -src tarball' == 'no -src tarball but external-src: marker in setup.hint' 2) clicking on any one (or multiple) of the 'src' checkboxes in setup will trigger a download (and only one download) of the actual XFree86-base-4.2.0-1-src.tar.bz2 package - Later, we can get even fancier, and allow the specification of multiple -src packages...then the monolithic 'XFree86-base-4.2.0-1-src.tar.bz2' can be split into the stuff that cygwin-xfree doesn't change and the stuff that changes frequently (e.g. .../hw/xwin). e.g. setup hint for XFree86-[anything but base]-... external-src: XFree86-base setup hint for XFree86-base- no external-src tag extra-src: XFree86-base2 in release/xfree/xfree86-base/ XFree86-base-4.2.0-1.tar.bz2 XFree86-base-4.2.0-1-src.tar.bz2 XFree86-base2-4.2.0-1-src.tar.bz2 But that (or something like it) can be later - --Chuck P.S. Chris, where'd upset go? the current version used to be in htdocs, but it's gone now. AND, the old version which lived in cinstall/temp, is still there -- and you said you were going to remove it.
