inetutils packaging problem


Corinna,

In the inetutils -25 package which just showed up on ftp, your tarball contains paths with ".\" prefixes. I suspect that your <source> argument for tar was a "." instead of "*". Unfortunately setup doesn't handle this case right for cygwin-style "bind" mounts and ends up putting contents intended for /usr/{bin,lib} in C:\Cygwin\usr\{bin,lib} instead of properly mapping /usr/{bin,lib} to C:\Cygwin\{bin,lib}.

Cheers,
Nicholas

P.S. - I'll take a look at what Gerrit's got so far, but it should probably be ok.
