setup-2.ini problems/anomalies

["Dr. Volker Zell" <dr dot volker dot zell at oracle dot com>]

Hi

I'm just trying a full 1.7 download but get the following warning from
setup.exe:

Package: xemacs
	Required by: xemacs-mule-sumo, xemacs-sumo

Going back to the previous dialog I see that the following
packages have a Skipped state

  emacs
  emacs-el
  emacs-X11
  gdb
  grace
  grub
  libecpg-compat1
  libecpg4
  libpgtypes1
  xemacs
  xemacs-common
  xemacs-tags

Checking the setup-2.ini file shows that the following packages

  emacs*, xemacs*, grub and grace

have only a [test] entry. Should these be fixed manually ? to import the
current versions. At least for xemacs (as maintainer) I vote for it.


gdb has only a [prev] entry:

  @ gdb
  sdesc: "The GNU Debugger"
  ldesc: "The GNU debugger, allows you to debug programs written in C, C++,
  and other languages, by executing them in a controlled fashion
  and printing their data."

For libtool only the [test] version is listed, will this be the default
for 1.7 ?
  
  @ libtool
  sdesc: "A shared library generation tool"
  ldesc: "GNU libtool is a generic library support script.
  Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind
  a consistent, portable interface."

Another anomaly, tetex-bin has empty [prev] and [test] antries. Maybe
these should be removed.

  @ tetex-bin
  sdesc: "The TeX text formatting system (binaries)."
  ldesc: "teTeX binary files
  This is teTeX, a TeX distribution for UNIX compatible systems.  These
  are all the binaries for the teTeX system.  You need at least
  tetex-tiny or tetex-base together with it."
