This sounds like a cygutils thingo to me, or a new package. > Chuck? Ohhhh Chuck? Ummm...do we really want to fork the code into two separate locations? It seems to me that the best thing to do would be the following: winsup/cinstall/Makefile.am: bin_PROGRAMS: setup rebase setup_SOURCES: ..... rebase.cc rebase.l rebase.y rebase.h ..... rebase_SOURCES: rebase.cc rebase.l rebase.y rebase.h rebase_CFLAGS: -dREBASE_STANDALONE in rebase.cc: #if REBASE_STANDALONE int main(int argc, char * argv[]) { ... } #endif This way, the SAME code is used by both the standalone rebase.exe and setup.exe. Otherwise, we'll continually have synchronization problems between the two (e.g. what if the format of /etc/rebase.conf changes?) > One important thing is to have setup's rebasing and the rebase > commandline tool *both* store their work in rebase.conf.

I *strongly* advocate adding rebase.exe to the cinstall directory since it will be so tightly tied to setup.exe's behavior... --Chuck
