I've recently deployed some updates to calm, which change a few things
maintainers may notice:
Been a while since I wrote one of these mails:
* Meaningless keys in .hint or src.hint files are now disallowed
- 'requires:' and 'obsolete:' are not allowed in src.hint files
- 'skip:' is not allowed in hint files
In the unlikely event that:
- you have a private package repository, AND
- you run calm version >= 20210626
You'll might need to successfully run 'calm-tool fix-invalid-key-hint'
on that repository, to drop those invalid keys, before you can use calm
or mksetupini.
* 'homepage:' is now mandatory in uploaded src.hint
(or HOMEPAGE must exist in the .cygport, if you are using a cygport so
old it doesn't generate src.hint files)
* Upload of a 0-byte file in place of a empty compressed archive is no
longer permitted
(cygport stopped generating such anomalies years ago)
* The 'virtual' is now allowed in 'category:', and indicates to calm
that this package only exists to pull in other packages (i.e. is empty,
but has dependencies, which it otherwise might warn about).
