Depends on the nature of the patches, I say. If the change is beneficial for a wide audience, it is quite apparent, that the changes should go upstream. > This is the tarball I started with: > https://fedorahosted.org/releases/n/e/newt/newt-0.52.16.tar.gz > I have a patch for the snackmodule.c to allow runtime initializing (4 > lines of code). Then I needed a bootstrap module (I'm not sure why I > needed it if it wasn't needed in linux, perhaps I just don't know how > that works in other environments). Finally a patch to the Makefile.in > to make it work with Cygwin and install the bootstrap python module. > The only other thing to know is when running configure with all the > standard Cygwin parameters, I needed to --disable-nls. Mmm... how much implication this thing cause in reality? Disabling NLS support doesn't sound too right for me. > Oh, and it has a dependency on slang. > If patches are appropriate here, let me know and I'll post what I have. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@yandex.ru) 13.02.2014, <02:56> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
