cygport packaging question regading obsoleted packages


Hi Yaakov

Is the following the "official" cygport method to create obsoleted packages ?

For example I want to obsolete from the nettle-2.4 package the runtime
parts by providing new empty tarballs so that users who will upgrade to
nettle-2.5 will get rid of unsued dll's related to nettle-2.4.


nettle-2.4-2.cygport
====================

CATEGORY="_obsolete"
SUMMARY="Removed package"
DESCRIPTION="Removed package"

HOMEPAGE="http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/";

         http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/archive/${P}.tar.gz.sig";

abi=4_3
hogweed_abi=2_1
# Only the runtime packages should be obsoleted"
PKG_NAMES="lib${PN}${abi} libhogweed${hogweed_abi}"

This is what I get.

-rw-r--r--+ 1 vzell None      14 Aug 30 14:49 libnettle4_3-2.4-2.tar.bz2


What about the "find: `*': No such file or directory" error ?

And should I put in the nettle-2.5-1.cygport an explicit

REQUIRES="libnettle4_3 libhogweed2_1"

so that these will be pulled in when somebody installs nettle-2.5 ?
(effectively it should delete the old dll's)


Thanks
