Several GNU packages are now starting to supply additional configure arguments in the --with-packager namespace, in order to ease the branding of a downstream distro build. My recent m4 1.4.14 build shows the effect of using them: $ m4 --version | head -n3 m4 (GNU M4) 1.4.14 Packaged by Cygwin (1.4.14-1) Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc. $ m4 --help | tail -n4 Report bugs to: bug-m4@gnu.org Report Cygwin bugs to: <cygwin@cygwin.com> GNU M4 home page: <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/> General help using GNU software: <http://www.gnu.org/gethelp/> Notice the additional lines mentioning Cygwin. Is it worth teaching cygport to automatically supply configure arguments of: --with-packager=Cygwin --with-packager-version=$PVR \ --with-packager-bug-reports='<cygwin@cygwin.com>' for packages that support this idiom? If not, then this email serves as a hint for other packagers to modify their own .cygport files. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
