I recompiled and posted a new build of the Cygwin/X package that were previously dependent on cygipc against cygserver instead. All setup.hint files for Cygwin/X packages and other X packages maintained by myself (not requiring a rebuild) have been updated to no longer require cygipc.

I still need to update (rebuild required):
*** GraphicsMagick
  *** libGraphicsMagick-devel
  *** libGraphicsMagick0
*** ImageMagick
  *** libMagick-devel
  *** libMagick6

Others need to update setup.hint's for (no rebuild required):
*** gd
  *** libgd-devel
  *** libgd2
*** gnuplot
*** gv
*** xemacs

Others need to rebuild:
*** postgresql

Looks like we are only 3 package rebuilds away from no longer requiring cygipc... not to say that it would be wise to immediately pull it from distribution, but at least we would be one step closer.


I find it hard to believe that all of the above packages actually
directly rely on cygpic.  I suspect that most of these are bypassing the
rule of not including dependencies of packages from the "Required" line
in setup.hint.  So, most of the cygpic's (and probably a lot of other
dependencies) should probably be dropped.

All of the above? I only listed thee that need to be rebuilt because of direct dependencies on cygipc. The middle section says "no rebuild required" and "need to update setup.hint's".


I totally agree with you. :)
