BTW, I noted LICENSE, CYGWIN_MAINTAINER, UPSTREAM_MAINTAINER
variables ... are they used/shown somewhere and is it a best
practise to have them in the cygport script?
Something I think should be documented somewhere, are tracked in some
other distros package trackers, easier to add on adoption, and useful
when you want to submit bug reports upstream.
Defining then as shell vars mean you can use them for searching or in
commands.
'LICENSE' probably should be required by cygport, containing a SPDX ID
or license expression.
I'm not sure about 'CYGWIN_MAINTAINER', since we already track that
information elsewhere.
I am tinkering with adding support for LICENSE in cygport-> license: in
src.hint, exposing that in the package summary data, backfilling from
existing cyports and validating those as SPDX license expressions.
I see that you've used:
LICENSE=MIT-like
LICENSE_SPDX="SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT-like"
I don't see 'MIT-like' on https://spdx.org/licenses/, so I wonder if you
could explain where that comes from?
Articles on early SPDX usage had suggestions for as yet uncatalogued
licences like adding -like. From the looks of my package sources, some
licensing info came from Fedora specs and conversions to cygport. My
cygports have now been updated locally to what I believe are correct
SPDX ids from the latest list. I have a number yet to add but build and
packaging issues take priority for time over info tweaks.
