How is setup.ini generated these days?

[Jens Schweikhardt]

hello, world\n

I'm trying to make a package server as described on
http://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/package-server.html

I've rsynced the complete "release" tree (skipping *-legacy). However,
running

  genini release/* > setup.ini

with genini 1.13 from
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/genini/?cvsroot=cygwin-apps)
produces a lot of errors and warnings and the resulting setup.ini
is much smaller than the official one that comes with rsyncing
(300k vs 1300k).

So the question is: how is the official setup.ini created
from a release directory?


Regards,

	Jens

Many packages are in subdirectories of release.  Try this instead:

genini --output=setup.ini `find release/ -name setup.hint | sed 's|/setup\.hint$||g'`

Thanks, and I also found the --recursive option. Now I'm running this:

  genini --output=setup.ini --recursive --okmissing=source release

This gets close to 1300k but not quite. There are small differences that
apparently result from some sort of postprocessing, such as:

 * If a package has no "requires" tag, it gets one with "cygwin"
 * If a "requires:" tag does not include "cygwin" it gets one

Apart from that many "source", "install" and "version" tags are different.

What is the script that the official setup.ini is generated with?
Is this list the right place to ask this? If not, where should I ask?


Regards,

setup.ini is generated by a program called "upset".  The current sources
are not available to the public since the program is not intended for
"roll-your-own-setup.ini" and the program is not something that I want
to receive patches for or questions about.

Older versions of the program are probably not kicking around out they
are not supported here.

If you want to generate a setup.ini use genini.  If you find bugs, then
proposed patches will be thoughtfully considered as long as they aren't
band-aids.

For starters, the categories have apparently changed. The latest setup.exe
does not have Comm and Sound, but has gained Accessibility and Security.

This patch was submitted 5 years ago, and has still not been merged:

http://cygwin.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=cygwin-apps/genini.git;f=genini;h=33b46fe

Can we make this happen?

My bad, it looks like Cygwin calm replaced genini:
