Are there any guidelines or suggestions regarding packaging source, patches and binaries for programs (like Ghostscript) that can be built for either Cygwin or Cygwin/XFree86?
Not yet...
Unless I hear a very compelling reason to do otherwise, I'm planning on releasing three binary packages and a single source package: * A ghostscript-base package, which includes all the common files required by both program versions. * A ghostscript package, which contains only the non-X11 version of gs.exe, and a README describing the build process. * A ghostscript-x11 package, which contains only the X11 version of gs.exe, possibly renamed to xgs or gsx, and a README describing how to build it for XFree86. * A source package which contains all the patches for both builds and both README files.
I'm picking this packaging method so that both X11 and non-X11 versions can both be installed, without getting into problems when un-installing one and not the other.
Yep.
I've looked around in the cygwin-apps archives, and I've not found this discussed with respect to other apps (e.g. rxvt) that can be built for either Cygwin or Cygwin/XFree86.
