Bleah -- but I tested this earlier. It worked...or at least I thought I was exercising the proper code path; I specifically wanted to make sure that cyclic dependencies were okay. I guess my earlier 'test' didn't really *test* what I thought it was testing...sorry for the trouble, folks. BUT: the dependency loop NEEDS to be there -- becuase those packages ARE mutually dependent. It's just that setup needs to traverse the loop only once and terminate. :-) --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread

Okay, well while you're mucking with the setup code, I've got a question for you: 1) joe user has the autoconf package installed on his system. in the past, autoconf depended only on cygwin, perl, m4 2) now, the new version of autoconf depends on cygwin, perl, m4, AND autoconf-devel + autoconf-stable. (I KNOW that joe user doesn't have autoconf-devel/stable installed because they are brand new packages) Q: will setup automatically select autoconf-devel and autoconf-stable if joe chooses to update his autoconf to the new version? Why? (merely because -stable and -devel are NEW, or because of the new dependency specified by setup.ini for autoconf itself?) Q: what if the new dependency was on a package -- say, 'squid' -- that has been around a long time, and joe has previously skipped (so now it's "permanently" skipped). Will setup present 'squid' as a new required dependency and automatically select it if joe decides to update his existing autoconf? --Chuck --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread
