Since yahoo free webhosting doesn't allow files with the .bz2 extension, I
changed the extension of the package files to tgz. Just save these files
back as .bz2.

Eeek. Nasty.


Same with setup.hint. Here I simply appended .html; just save without
.html.

Also nasty. Is it possible you could continue looking for a less obnoxious webhost?

This point stands, but...


Since this is my first contribution of this kind, please bear with me if I
didn't get it all right off the bat.

Do you suppose you could follow the package format described at "Method Two"
on http://cygwin.com/setup.html, rather than inventing your own script?

I retract this suggestion. Having had a closer look at the doxygen buildsystem, it would require sufficient adaptations to the generic build script, that it is not worth it.


I think preserving the original distibution's tarball untouched is a good
thing to do.

Although this is still a nice thing to do - bundle the source tarball, with a patch file, and a script which unpacks the source and applies the patch. This means that people looking at your package in the future can tell exactly what changes needed to be made for the Cygwin package, without needing to fetch the upstream tarball seperately and comparing them.


Max.
