Hi,
Upstream for the newly added epstool package (Russell Lang) has asked via
private email whether the CYGWIN-PATCHES subdir of a cygwin source package
would really be required, if he modified the package makefile to
include make targets for cygwin source and binary distributions. In essence,
the question is whether a patches subdir is required if there really are no
patches required to build either the source or the binary distribution.
My guess is that such a subdir should always exist, containing at a minimum the
setup.hint file. But I'm not really certain.
Anyone have the answer for this?
Thanks,
James R. Phillips
