In my experimentation with run (see preceding post with subject "run-1.3.3-1: Unicode text and empty args") I somehow managed to build a modifed version of a released package (run-1.3.3-1) but feel I have not found the right way of performing this task - so I ask for some advice (or referral to some How-To?) based on how I did it: - Get source: I did that via setup which placed the cygport-file (run.cygport) and source-archive in /usr/src - Unpack source: I wanted to do "cygport run prep" - but that failed to recognize the cygwin-run-1.3.3.tar.bz2 archive and I had to do "cygport run download" which downloaded cygwin-run-run.tar.bz2 instead. Why? - Compile: I did "cygport run compile" to get started, then modified sources and re-compiled (to sidestep the time-consuming configuration step) in build/src with "make". - Install: I thought I could install with "cygport run install" - but that installed in the staging area within the pacakge source-tree only. So I installed with "make install" for the time being. What is the right way, maybe using setup after packaging the modified package? - Package: "cygport run package" works as expect, including creating patches - but the resulting packages (in dist) were run-run-run.tar.xz and run-src.tar.xz - so the version is somehow getting trashed within cygport. Does the cygport file at the outset need to be renamed to include the version? Regards, Martin
