OK.
Changes I made in the release-2 area:
1) inetutils: made test release 1.5-3 current
2) libtool: made test release 2.2.2-2 current; removed versioned
requires (made global). Removed libltdl3 from requires.
3) libltdl3: copied over old libtool-1.5.27a-1-src package as
libltdl3-1.5.27a-1-src, and removed external-source: line from
libltdl3's setup.hint.
4) login: made test release 1.9-8 current
5) pkg-config: made test release 0.23a-1 current
6) rxvt: removed reference to non-existent prev: version
7) tcp_wrappers: removed reference to non-existent prev: version, and
versioned requires (made global).
7a) libwrap0: removed versioned requires (made global).
7b) libwrap-devel: removed versioned requires (made global).
I did not remove the xpm-nox package, but maybe we should. It has been
superseded by the libXpm-noX package for years. The old package provides
cygXpm-noX4.dll
while the new package (built using libtool) provides
cygXpm-noX-4.dll
There are no packages in either the release or release-2 areas that rely
on the old package.
This is odd, tho:
$ pwd
.../pub/cygwin/release
$ find . -name "setup.hint" | grep libXpm-noX
./libXpm-noX/setup.hint
./libXpm-noX/libXpm-noX-devel/setup.hint
./libXpm-noX/libXpm-noX_4/setup.hint
$ cd ../release-2
$ pwd
.../pub/cygwin/release-2
$ find . -name "setup.hint" | grep libXpm-noX
$ ls libXpm-noX/setup.hint
libXpm-noX/setup.hint
$ ls libXpm-noX/libXpm-noX-devel/setup.hint
libXpm-noX/libXpm-noX-devel/setup.hint
$ ls libXpm-noX/libXpm-noX_4/setup.hint
libXpm-noX/libXpm-noX_4/setup.hint
Huh?
Here's a list of setup.hint files in the release-2 area that have test:,
priv:, or curr: specifiers -- but given the weirdness above, I'm not
sure it is comprehensive.
$ find . -name "setup.hint" |\
xargs grep -l -E 'test:|curr:|prev:' |\
sort | uniq | sed -e 's/^\.\///'
emacs/emacs-el/setup.hint
emacs/emacs-X11/setup.hint
emacs/setup.hint
gdb/setup.hint
grace/setup.hint
postgresql/libecpg-compat2/setup.hint
postgresql/libpq3/setup.hint
postgresql/setup.hint
xemacs/setup.hint
xemacs/xemacs-emacs-common/setup.hint
xemacs/xemacs-tags/setup.hint

So how does this work in the future? If I have upload a new package to
the (old) release area, it will also appear in the release-2 area?
If I edit the setup.hint in the (old) release area, those changes will
show up in the release-2 area, UNLESS I or someone else has already
modified the release-2 setup.hint?
(and don't delete anything from the release-2 area unless you're really
really sure you'll never want to put it back <g>)
