The libsigsegv package contains the combined content of those two sub-packages, so they appear to be redundant. Either libsigsegv should be an empty package; or one of libsigsegv-devel or libsigsegv-doc should replace libsigsegv; or both libsigsegv-devel and libsigsegv-doc should be removed and libsigsegv should remain the same. That is, libsigsegv-devel includes a header file, a static library, and the .la file for linking. None of these are necessary for the runtime of any potential dependent packages, they are just used for building. libsigsegv-doc includes the contents of usr/share/doc/libsigsegv-2.0/ and usr/share/doc/Cygwin/. libsigsegv contains all of the above. My recommendation would be to replace libsigsegv with libsigsegv-doc, since the base package is expected to include both things libsigsegv-doc includes, and to leave libsigsegv-devel standalone. When/if a shared version of libsigsegv is produced, it should accompany the documentation in the libsigsegv package. So, unless there is any objection, I am going to re-list http://tierra.dyndns.org:81/cygwin/libsigsegv/doc/libsigsegv-doc-2.0-1.tar.bz2 as libsigsegv-2.0-1 and ignore http://tierra.dyndns.org:81/cygwin/libsigsegv/libsigsegv-2.0-1.tar.bz2 entirely. If there is consensus that the whole package should be held off until it can be re-packaged to produce a dynamic library, I will hold off on uploading. Otherwise, since there appear to be people patiently holding their breath, I will go ahead and upload libsigsegv and libsigsegv-devel later today. ) Package: suite3270 3.2.20-1 ) Description: 3270 Emulator Suite ) Proposer: Peter A.

Not reviewed. I have not heard from the original packager whether renaming these sub-packages should go through; should this be considered an unresolved problem, or should I just rename them? -- Daniel Reed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://naim-users.org/nmlorg/ http://naim.n.ml.org/ It is so easy to miss pretty trivial solutions to problems deemed complicated. The goal of a scientist is to find an interesting problem, and live off it for a while. The goal of an engineer is to evade interesting problems :) -- Vadim Antonov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on NANOG
