I have found it useful as it gives me local access to the latest POSIX specs without needing to find the URL and go on the network. If there is interest and the approach is acceptable, can cygport produce a package consisting of only a doc directory and a postinstall script? I use cygport to download and build net packages of interest to me, and maintain a local repo of them, so the regular packaging process is familiar, including producing cygport, hint, and setup.ini files. So if cygport won't work here, I can hand code whatever files are required to provide a package. As an example, I have attached the script I used as a text file so it should appear inline and pass sourceware and any personal or corporate mail filters, unless they scrub all kinds of attachments. If this is not acceptable for packaging for any reason, I can put the script up on github and mention it on the main list. -- Take care.
