Hi Christopher,

Uploaded. Please send an announcement once the packages show up in your
local mirror and you have had a chance to verify correct installation with
setup.exe.

 While looking for the owner of antiword to ask them to investigate the problem
 reported in the cygwin list, I noticed that there was never an announcement of
 its availablity after it was uploaded.  For shame.

Oops, I'll announce for the next update/release then.

 In any event, Gerrit, can I assume that you are looking into the problem reported
 in the cygwin list?

Obviously there are users out there, great to hear, I'll see what I can
do about the problem.

Unfortunately, I still get the warning (i.e., no change).  There is no
need for a special document, even -- simply run antiword -m cp1251
(yes, with no document).  Apparently, the warning shows up while parsing
the mapping file, so I doubt it's particularly important, in any case...

 Undefined is meaningfull.  Think of the difference of NULL and '0'
 (e.g. in SQL).  Why does Word makes use of undefined characters?

Are you sure it does?  The error messages seems to come from the
routine that parses cp1250.txt etc (chartrans.c,
bReadCharacterMappingTable() in the older sources that I have here).
That routine should be fixed to recognize this syntax with the missing
mapping, I guess.

Hey, Daniel, there were three votes and a positive review, lets push it

 P.S. The script creates the distribution tarballs only, which is rather

In my opinion it is overkill for a small package when there are just
some files to compile or no compilation (e.g. perlscript help2man).
I have hacked the script to compile a package just to deliver it to
myself and then I thought, hey, why not include this little package in

Looks like the package has:

One advantage of the generic-build-script is that it allows partial

BTW, in your script, you could use ln -fs instead of rm -f ...; ln -s.

Hallo Igor,

http://familiehaase.de/cywgin/antiword/antiword-0.34-1.tar.bz2
http://familiehaase.de/cywgin/antiword/setup.hint

 I've looked at the binary and source packages.  In the binary package, is
 there a reason antiword.1 is duplicated in both usr/share/man/man1/ and
 usr/share/antiword-0.34/?

Fixed.

 The script in the source package doesn't give you any options for partial
 make, and doesn't accept the parameters of the generic_build_script (e.g.,
 all, conf, prep, make, etc).  I don't know how important that is,
 but thought I'd mention it.
 Another, much more important thing is that the script builds files on top
 of the root filesystem (i.e., installs directly into /usr/bin, etc) --
 IMO, the source package should NOT place anything in the root hierarchy,
 that's the job of setup.exe; the source build should be contained in the
 source directory.  Because of the latter I didn't build from the source.

Fixed.

 Oh, and the script is not space-in-filename friendly.

Fixed.

 FWIW, I had to make a change to the wtf Makefile to allow the DESTDIR
 parameter in the install rule, so I know it's not that much work.
 Especially since you're providing a Makefile.Cygwin yourself in the patch.
 I'm attaching a preliminary patch to your script and patch -- I tried to
 catch all the places that modify the global hierarchy, but please verify
 that.  HTH,
 Igor

All fixed.

Many thanks for your review and the patch.  I'll remember to address
these issues in future.

  And it is not reviewed yet (IIRC).
 
  Would some kind soul take a quick look (it is really a tiny package
  which compiles in a minute)?

 Gerrit,
 
 I've looked at the binary and source packages.  In the binary package, is
 there a reason antiword.1 is duplicated in both usr/share/man/man1/ and
 usr/share/antiword-0.34/?
 
 The script in the source package doesn't give you any options for partial
 make, and doesn't accept the parameters of the generic_build_script (e.g.,
 all, conf, prep, make, etc).  I don't know how important that is,
 but thought I'd mention it.
 Another, much more important thing is that the script builds files on top
 of the root filesystem (i.e., installs directly into /usr/bin, etc) --
 IMO, the source package should NOT place anything in the root hierarchy,
 that's the job of setup.exe; the source build should be contained in the
 source directory.  Because of the latter I didn't build from the source.
 Oh, and the script is not space-in-filename friendly.
I hadn't noticed that (either one: changes-to-rootfs and not-space-friendly).
I'll add it to my checklist for my next reviews :)

BTW: would it be a good idea to keep a canonical checklist for Cygwin package
candidate reviews (CCFCPCR)? This might be handy for newbie reviewers (such as
myself) and for new package maintainers to avoid common loopholes..

I'd be willing to maintain such a list, if need be.
