I have been trying to figure out the right way to rebuild this package from the upstream sources, but I come across this particularities:
-the upstream sources are already distributed in *.run format, meaning they are packaged using makeself.
-this package consist of two shell scripts, plus the man page and doc files, so there is no "config-make-make install" process.
These facts make me think the standard procedure of re-building a package doesn't fit here.
I also read the Cygwin Package Contributor's Guide, and downloaded some more-or-less simple packages to see how this task is acomplished. No surprise in finding different approaches: some use a script, others the still obscure to me cygport util...
My question, then, is this: What do you think would be the proper way in this case?
-the cygport procedure applies, and is mandatory, for process standarization. Just Learn How (TM).
