Subject: cygport for simple package addon: skip prep?
Date: Fri, 07 Dec 2018 22:43:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6df50d8e-60a5-cd0d-60a2-30bf41c7c04a@avenger.ws> (raw)
I am trying to write a cygport file for an extension to docbook-xsl
called mathml.
The latest version of the DTD file is at
https://docbook.org/xml/mathml/${VERSION}/dbmathml.dtd, and it is not
zipped nor packaged in any way.
The package consists on just a single .DTD file and I can't figure out
how to make cygport "skip" the unpack attempt during "cygport prep". I
might need to just copy the file into what it assumes to be the package
directory, then during compile/install time, just copy over the file to
the correct location, and determine that as the package's contents.
I have this debian package as a base to what should be in the package
file: https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/docbook-mathml/filelist
It seems to be a so basic addition that cygport is kind of too complex
for it -- but it would be useful as a way to "remember" installation
steps required on cygwin, if the correct setup instructions are saved in
a cygport file.
Any ideas and directions are welcome. If you know a cygwin package in a
similar format (just installs a file that it downloads in its original,
uncompressed format), that'd be of great help as well.
Thanks in advance!
