[patch] a new setup.exe parameter to specify packages

[patch] a new setup.exe parameter to specify packages

[Kohsuke Kawaguchi]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 637 bytes --]

Hi,

I wrote a patch for setup.exe so that it can take a list of packages
to be installed via the -P option, like this:

  setup.exe -P openssh,cvs,subversion

This would bring in the 3 modules and all their dependencies (of the
curr version.) The main use case for this is to perform unattended
installation from CLI.

I tried to make the coding style match with that of choose.cc, even
though the coding style of setup.exe as a whole seems to be different
from choose.cc. This is the first time I write a patch for Cygwin, so
my apologies if I'm missing some requirements.

It seems this would be a popular feature, with several patches submitted
(including one from me):

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2006-03/msg00070.html
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2007-08/msg00054.html
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2008-04/msg00133.html

But it never makes it into the source. It's a little frustrating.

(BTW, thanks for the patch, Kohsuke! Your effort is appreciated)

Maybe it's time to start looking for additional setup maintainers.
Anyone want to volunteer?

Ah, OK, I didn't realized that I was duplicating an effort. As long as 
any one of them gets integrated,  I'm happy.

I would be very pleased to see this happen, since it's clear that the
current amount of manpower that I can donate is lacking.

I assumed as much.  If this sounded in any way like a condemnation of
the current setup maintainers I really apologize.

  No, no offense taken.  We know we're overloaded!

  OTOH, I have to roll out some new packages to my internal users in the
next few days, and it would be convenient for me if I could just email round
a shell script or command-line for them all to run rather than making them
click through all the dialogs and select packages in the chooser, so I think
I'll take the opportunity to upgrade our internal build of setup and
integrate one of the relevant patches while I'm doing it.

  Bryan, Kohsuke, thank you both for your efforts, and your patience; I hope
to be able to bring you good news very soon.

    cheers,
      DaveK

I hope so too! Thanks for working on this as well, Dave.
