If your repo is on github anyway it would be much simpler to define the source as a git repo. Rather than SRC_URI, just use something like this: GIT_URI="https://github.com/mintty/mintty.git"; # Just as example # Either... GIT_TAG="your release tag" # ...or... GIT_REV="matching sha1-hash" inherit git > Sure, that's why the VERSION should better not be mentioned in it, right? No, the VERSION and RELEASE fields define how tohe package is called when you do `cygport package'. Did you read Cygwin's Package Contributor's Guide? https://cygwin.com/packaging-contributors-guide.html It's really not that complicated to do it right. Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Cygwin Maintainer
