[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cygport-0.14.0-1

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cygport-0.14.0-1

[Yaakov (Cygwin/X)]

I have just released cygport-0.14.0 for the Cygwin distributions and the
Fedora Cygwin repository.  Notable changes in this release include:

* Creates .tar.xz packages (adds a runtime dep on xz).

* Per request, generated packages are now placed solely under the 
NAME-VERSION-RELEASE/dist/ hierarchy, and no longer in the "top" directory.

* Consequently, the 'all' command no longer includes 'finish' (now aka 
'clean'), as no packages would be left as a result, and 'almostall' is 
deprecated, as it is now identical to 'all'.

* The setup.hint skip: tag is used for source-only packages when 
autogenerating setup.hint files.

* qt3 and qt4 link libraries are (as of today's releases) now in 
/usr/lib instead of /usr/lib/qt[N]/lib; this release reflects and 
requires those changes.

* New qt5 and qt5-qmake cygclasses for Qt5 packages.

Changes in this release (23):
       postinst: update gtk2 immodules handling
       qt5, qt5-qmake: new cygclasses for Qt5-dependent packages
       qt5-qmake: remove .la files during install
       qt5-qmake: accept arguments to qt5_qmake_install
       pkg_diff: ignore .gitignore in diffs
       xvfb: fix gamin location
       qt4: update QT4_LIBDIR
       prepstrip: use file(1) to identify .Net assemblies
       autotools: always specify --libdir
       qt3-qmake: handle spaces in arguments to cygqmake3
       qt4-qmake: handle spaces in arguments to cygqmake4
       qt5-qmake: handle spaces in arguments to cygqmake5
       qt4-qmake: adapt to new QT4_LIBDIR
       Create xz-compressed packages
       qt3: update QT3_LIBDIR
       mirrors: update mirror_qt
       pkg_pkg: create package tarballs directly in distdir
       Do not include 'finish' in the 'all' command
       Add 'clean' command as alias for 'finish'
       pkg_pkg: use skip tag for source-only setup.hint
       autotools: update supported versions of WANT_AUTOMAKE through 1.14
       Add missing xz dep
       cygport 0.14.0

That's the first I've heard of its existence.  (It was apparently first 
announced on Cygwin/X, which I don't subscribe to.)

Is there a getting started HOWTO somewhere?

I assume the primary advantage to using it is faster package compiles?

The shipping version of setup.exe supports this now?

I'm happy to see both of these changes.  Good stuff, Yaakov.

Install the fedora-cygwin-release-*.rpm (or 
cygwin-release-*.el6.noarch.rpm for RHEL/CentOS 6.x) from 
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/fedora-cygwin/files/>, then you can 
use yum or the PackageKit GUIs to install cygport plus any cygwin*-* 
libraries that you need for your packages.

> I assume the primary advantage to using it is faster package compiles?

Yes, plus convenience for those who primarily develop on Linux, but the 
trade-off is that not everything can be easily cross-compiled, if at 
all.  It's not perfect, but some people find it useful (e.g. the 
official Cygwin DLL releases are built with this toolchain).

setup*.exe has supported xz for some time; it was upset (the script 
which generates the setup*.ini files) which was lacking xz support until 
this week.

We'll see if everybody else agrees. :-)

i.e., http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2013-09/msg00012.html

One thing I meant to mention there is that there will no longer be
default "Misc" package creation when a package doesn't have a category.
