Implements an extensible method of calling custom cygport functions from
the cygport command line, in addition to the existing prep, install,
check, pkg ones (etc). This is a forward port of the original patch,
posted on 2006-12-9 here:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-12/msg00366.html
It works this way:
cygport cvs-1.11.22-1 custom0-cvs_check_local_known_fail
will invoke cvs_check_local_known_fail() with no additional arguments.
However,
cygport cvs-1.11.22-1 custom3-cvs_do_one_test rcslib remote fail
will invoke cvs_do_one_test() with $1=rcslib $2=remote $3=fail.
Note that the number following 'custom' indicates how many arguments to
consume and forward to the target command. Variants from 0 to 9 are
accepted.
The custom-command framework will ONLY invoke shell functions; it can't
be used to run arbitrary commands (although, you could simply edit the
.cygport file to define a shell function which then runs those arbitrary
commands).
The subcommand 'custom-show' will list all shell functions defined
within the cygport runtime envionment, including those defined in the
cygport file.
cygport cvs-1.11.22-1 custom-show
As you can tell from my examples, I needed this functionality to deal
with cvs's totally braindead testsuite "system". (During development,
that is. Normal cygport usage for running the cvs testsuite would be
'cygport cvs-1.11.22-1 check' as usual).
You can test the custom-command functionality (using any old cygport
file) by doing:
cygport some-cygport-file custom0-dummy
cygport some-cygport-file custom1-dummy a
cygport some-cygport-file custom2-dummy a b
etc -- or even
cygport some-cygport-file \
prep \
custom2-dummy a b \
compile \
custom1-dummy c \
install \
custom4-dummy d e f g \
pkg

* bin/cygport.in (custom_dummy_core): new function, used to test
custom-command framework
(custom_dummy): ditto
(main): add implentation for custom-show) and customN-*)
