Hi,
I have embarked upon a long and arduous path (I haven't
even gotten out of the door, and I'm already exhausted)
to bring the debian package management system/
environment to cygwin. I have gotten some things
accomplished, and would like to know if others are
interested. To date, I have managed to get the following
done, plus some other little things:
- I have started a project within sourceforge.net - debian-cygwin
- I have successfully built dpkg on my system and installed it.
- I have managed to bring down and rebuild several miscellaneous
packages (debhelper, dpkg-dev, libsgmls-perl, sp, etc)
- I have managed to build and install apt
- I have managed to rebuild the dpkg package in it's entirety.
- I have started to rebuild other packages.
All this is in it's infancy, and I will need to start doing some work
on the sourceforge page to get this rolling, and accessible
by others.
One of the things I will need very quickly is a pseudo package
for perl 5.005. Cygwin supplies Perl 5.6.1, but I need the
pseudo package to take care of dependency issues, and to
provide a couple of configuration issues (Does anyone know
how to modify the @INC variable, or enhance/modify the search
directories at run time??)
