What about "cygstart mkshortcut readshortcut"? These may be used by postinstall scripts, the other stuff is extra, afaics. > cygutils-extra (Util): [requires: cygutils] > almost everything else, including documentation and man > pages (even for the exe's in the Base package) > cygutils-x11 (X11): [requires: cygutils] > the two desktop files, and the postinstall scripts that > handle them > > This way, any package that currently requires: cygutils will almost > certainly get the tool it is looking for, without having to change > its requires line (and besides, if cygutils is in Base you'd get > those anyway). So, as result, we should do this for a start: - cygwin-doc drops "Base" from the categories. - dos2unix adds "Base" to the categories. - cygutils drops "dos2unix" from requires. And additionally you propose the above change to cygutils. Sounds good to me. Yaakov?
