Please excuse me if this is the wrong list for this topic.
Inspired by my experience with that EXCELLENT new package,
cygcheck-dep, I tried cleaning cruft in my installation of cygwin by
uninstalling packages in the _obsolete category. Setup reported
that a number of them were required by other packages, including some
that weren't circularly dependent.
This suggested to me that perhaps there are packages whose "requires:"
lines need updating. I put together a script to look for that.
Here is the script I used:
SETUP=path_to_setup.ini
gawk ' /^@ / { pkg = $2 }
/ _obsolete/ { print "\t" pkg "$" }
' ${SETUP} | \
sort -u \
> ob.tmp
gawk ' /^@ / { pkg = $2 }
/^requires: / { for (N = 2; N <= NF; N++) { print pkg "\t" $N } }
' ${SETUP} | \
sort -u | \
grep -f ob.tmp
rm ob.tmp
Here's what I found:
For 64 bit setup.ini:
"CURRENT"_64bit_PKG OBSOLETE_PKG
libpoco-devel libexpat1-devel
libwmf-devel libexpat1-devel
For 32 bit setup.ini:
"CURRENT"_32bit_PKG OBSOLETE_PKG
