Actually, that is experimental code (based on a request from another
cygport user) that was accidentally shipped when I had to reroll the
source tarball for compatibility with F20/UnversionedDocDirs. Would
people like to see this done always, never, or only when cross-building?
There hasn't been much comment on this. Since it would be a visible
change for package maintainers, I would appreciate more of a
consensus. Are there any objections to making the workdir always
arch-specific (IOW name-ver-rel.arch)?
I wrapped Cygport some time ago to give me a little extra functionality
- for instance, for each package I maintain, it polls the project web
page daily and does some regexp to see if a new version of the package
had been released. If so, a new .cygport file is made and Cygport
invoked to build, test and package the application.
So any change to Cygport would give me a little maintenance, but I could
probably cope with a directory rename! Besides, some maintenance on my
builder is a bit overdue: the tool is still uploading binaries to my
Dropbox account and preparing [RFU] e-mails :-)
