lighttpd 1.4.64 removes long-deprecated packages,
including mod_trigger_b4_dl (replaceable with a lua script, if needed)

I am trying to build using lighttpd.cygport and after uploading package
1.4.64-1, I got errors, so I tried adding
  PKG_OBSOLETES="lighttpd-mod_trigger_b4_dl"
to lighttpd.cygport and building lighttpd.cyport package 1.4.64-2

Am I using PKG_OBSOLETES incorrectly?
Is there something else I need to do to remove this subpackage?

Thanks.  Glenn

Yes.  The cygport manual says that PKG_OBSOLETES is "A single-line string 
containing a list of package(s) which this package replaces....  Note that the 
PKG_OBSOLETES name is descriptive rather than literal, where "PKG" should be 
substituted with the name of the binary package whose contents it describes."

> Is there something else I need to do to remove this subpackage?

I think what you want is simply for lighttpd-mod_trigger_b4_dl to be empty, 
which you can achieve with

  lighttpd_mod_trigger_b4_dl_CONTENTS=

I think this might be a bug in calm (which processes the package uploads).

How OBSOLETES is put into effect has changed slightly in the latest 
version of cygport, and calm hasn't caught up with it yet.

Thanks for reporting this.

Reading this again...

To be clear, PKG needs to be replaced by the name of a package. So, you 
probably want something like:

lighttpd_OBSOLETES="lighttpd-mod_trigger_b4_dl"

... but there might still be an issue I need to think about here.

It makes sense now that you and Ken have explained it, but I
misunderstood that when comparing PKG_OBSOLETES to PKG_NAMES.
Maybe the documentation could use <PKG>_OBSOLETES in places
where <PKG> is expected to be replaced with a package name?

Cheers, Glenn

Yeah.

The upload you tried with my suggested change to the cygport failed for 
the reasons I suspected.

I've deployed a fix.
