Moving forward from cygwinports

Moving forward from cygwinports

[Chris Davies]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 651 bytes --]

Hello all,

I have seen that cygwinports has been closed down and I understand the 
reasons as posted. It's been a great resource and my thanks go out to 
all maintainers there and here.

What options do I have going forward for packages from that repository 
that I can confirm do work, but have not (yet) been migrated into the 
main Cygwin repository?

As an example, my use case is Perl-DBD-Sybase from about three weeks 
ago, which works beautifully but is not in the main repository. Short of 
moving to a Linux-based platform I'm now not sure how to proceed. Could 
someone enlighten me, please?

Much appreciated.
Chris

Chris.
I have a question for you.
You stated: "Short of moving to a Linux=bases platform"

I take it you have the "cygwinports"
Successfully running in a Windows Environment.
Could you please share, how to set-up cygwinports in Windows?

I have Cigwin installed on my Win10 testing system at the moment, just
have not done anything past the initial installation
And the installing of the packages for compiling.

Thanks.
Wayne

Cygwinports is not Cygwin.

Cygwin is alive and kicking; cygwinports.org was closed down last
week (or so). Please see http://cygwinports.org/ for reasons.

Chris

You could try building it yourself:

https://github.com/cygwinports-extras/perl-DBD-Sybase

You'll need cygport, perl, and libsybdb-devel.  If it weren't for that 
patch, you could also just install it from cpan.

@Chris,
I know that Cygwin and Cygport are not the same.
I was asking if you could perhaps share information on how to properly
install Cygport.

I downloaded it from here.
https://github.com/cygwinports/cygport

In the Cygwin, it had a Windows 32 or 64-bit installer.
This does not come with such.

First, please don't https://cygwin.com/acronyms/#TOFU.
Second, https://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PCYMTNQREAIYR.

You didn't have to download it from anywhere. Cygport is a Cygwin package, it can/should be installed from Cygwin's setup.

Took care of that issue with the Quoted text, using GMail. So all
should be good with that now.
Thanks, Vince. For the heads up.

Since it is a package, I know how to install the packaged, which NODE
would it be located under?

Also calm if you want to maintain local or ports repos and install with 
setup.

python programs used on cygwin.com to properly
build the setup.ini for the repository.
It can be used for local repository.

It replaces a previous system called "upset"

OK, it shows it as [Keep]
So, I am assuming that it is installed.

Now, I just need to get information on installing LiquidSoap through Windows.
