Hi Mark,

Regina-REXX is an implementation of ANSI Standard Rexx available on many

Regina-REXX is found on a number of Linux platforms, including Debian:

Thanks for providing this package. I had a look and I have a few nits:
- The DLLs in /usr/bin are not following the naming convention for
Cygwin DLLs. They should start with the "cyg" prefix.
Will fix.
- The files /usr/bin/rxtest1.dll and /usr/bin/rxtest2.dll look like
stray files, which are not supposed to be distributed. They are
not present in the Debian distro.
They are test extensions that go with the dynfunc.rexx demo program. I
can remove them and the associated demo program.
- The Debian package is split into three subpackages, regina-rexx,
libregina3, and libregina-dev. Apart from the fact that the devel
package in Cygwin should be called libregina-devel, this layout
seems to make a lot of sense. Wouldn't it be better to do this
for the Cygwin package as well?
I was trying to make things simple for my first Cygwin package :-)
- The package-specific directories are called "Regina-REXX", while on
debian they are lowercase only, "regina-rexx". It's very much a
matter of taste, but it might be nice to do this for Cygwin as well.
The Regina-REXX name was based on the RPM packaging name that was a
hangover from older RedHat and Fedora releases.
I'll split the build into separate packages as for Debian and follow
Debian's all lowercase naming as well.
Thanks,
Corinna
