Setup doesn't need any changes - the source: tag has all the functionality Chuck needs now. It'll only download the file once (well, there are some corner cases, but relatively few and far between). I don't think you read Chuck's proposal. He wants something which would automatically track version numbers in the referenced *package*. Saying: external-source: ../tiff-1.3.2-1-src.tar.bz2 wasn't what he was going for. He wanted to be able to say: external-source: tiff and have something (either setup or upset) figure out that the source for libtiff-1.3.2-1.tar.bz2 is tiff-1.3.2-1-src.tar.bz2. I thought that maybe the functionality for this belonged in setup.exe rather than in upset, i.e., I just pass the option through as is. cgf

This will come with time, there's more back-end stuff to do first. The goal is to achieve what apt-get source does, in terms of source packages being different to binaries (for names) and having their own build dependencies. I realise these are separate issues though :}. Rob

However, IMO, it makes sense for this option to actually be passed into setup.ini so that setup.exe can understand that this is basically a symbolic link rather than a copy. So, if I just add this as a pass-through, it is a no-brainer. If I add it as a fill in the blanks in setup.ini, it's more complicated. It's not hellishly more complicated but I'd rather not do the work if it makes sense for the logic to live in setup.exe. I don't remember if Robert already indicated which method he'd prefer. Maybe he already has plans to do the right thing when multiple packages refer to the same source tar ball. I seem to recall that this came up before but I don't remember what the decision was. cgf
Re: RFC: setup.ini change
Given the way that md5 checksums are generated on sourceware currently, this would be a problem. The checksums are generated asynchronously with the creation of setup.ini. I would prefer the three column version of install/source, though. Slightly less work for me. cgf On Mon, Apr 29, 2002 at 11:28:20PM +1000, Robert Collins wrote: I'd like to change this: install: release/bash/bash-2901.tar.bz2 276403 source: release/bash/bash-2901-src.tar.bz2 1892899 to install: release/bash/bash-2901.tar.bz2 276403 158044165a04791968a7e7fc8daaef9e source: release/bash/bash-2901-src.tar.bz2 1892899 158044165a04791968a7e7fc8daaef9f or install: release/bash/bash-2901.tar.bz2 276403 install-md5: 158044165a04791968a7e7fc8daaef9e source: release/bash/bash-2901-src.tar.bz2 1892899 source-md5: 158044165a04791968a7e7fc8daaef9f I don't care which we choose. My preference is the first one - it will keep the files smaller. Either will cause setup.exe to barf when first introduced. Likewise for third party parsers that are ... pedantic. To help deal with this I suggest the following approach: with the new version I want to release, we include the new format ini parser, but do nothing with the data. Then we can introduce features to use it at our leisure. Any preference folk? Rob
