Yes. I'm sorry but I have still two problems with these packages.
- The libpcre-4.1-1.tar.bz2 package should *only* contain the DLLs itself
for backward compatibility. Nothing else. That messes things up. E. g.
the man pages are now available twice, once in libpcre-4.1-1.tar.bz2,
once in pcre-doc-4.2-1.tar.bz2. With a bit of bad luck, the first
package will overwrite the second and you're getting the old man pages.
This doesn't make sense. So, please strip the libpcre-4.1-1.tar.bz2
archive down to the bare bones (the DLLs that is).
- As I wrote in another posting, please create setup.hint files for each
single package, one for libpcre, one for libpcre0, one for pcre-devel,
etc. Each package will be in its own subdir with its own setup.hint
file.
Other than that it looks ok,
Corinna
