Hello to everyone,
I'm interested in becoming a package maintainer for the program dumpasn1.
(see https://packages.debian.org/sid/dumpasn1 and
https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/)
It would be a new package for the cygwin distribution, but it is already
distributed on different systems, like Arch, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE,
Gentoo and many others
.hint and .cygport files are attached
As the name implies, it is a program for dumping data encoded using the ASN.1
encoding rules
Thanks. I added this to your authorized packages.
A few small comments on the cygport
HOMEPAGE="https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/";
SRC_URI="http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/dumpasn1/dumpasn1_${VERSION}.orig.tar.gz";
I'm not sure that 'https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/dumpasn1.c' isn't the
correct SRC_URI.
The debian packaging contains a manpage, which it might be useful to
incorporate.
BUILD_REQUIRES=""
REQUIRES=""
PKG_NAMES="dumpasn1"
None of these are necessary, I think.
I've used the debian package ad it is a package that contains everything for
creating the cygwin package (source+config), and provides a versioned source.
The URL you suggested is only the source file, and to be honest I do not know
how to write the corresponding cygport file.
It also does not seem to be versioned.
Thus I would prefer to use the Debian source if it is not an issue.
Fair enough.
