I've added ldesc entries for all of my packages, as well as updated the sdesc entries to also include the pkg name first. However, I'm having difficulty checking it in; cvs is hanging -- but it's not the expected W98 hang-after-done behavior. I'm on W2K, and it's hanging before it begins. I'm too tired to debug this right now, so I've attached a patch. If you don't want to deal with ldesc entries right now, let me know and I'll regen the patch without them. > 2) Try setup.ini with a freshly compiled setup.exe.

(I even compiled a setup.exe that displayed the ldesc entries instead of the sdesc ones, and it seemed to work okay -- more than just the first line of the ldesc entry was displayed, although the chooser rendered it all-as-one-line-with-no-breaks.) > - I switched to the Debian categories because I thought that was > the consensus. > Well, setup doesn't seem to want to display all of the new categories. For one thing, it completely ignores "Devel" and "Net". I'm not sure how the multi-word categories should be treated: Is Base Shells supposed to be a "Base Shells" category, or does it indicate that bash is in both the "Base" category and the "Shells" category? In either case, the current behavior is: bash is in the "Base" category; there is no "Shells" category nor a "Base Shells" category. --Chuck --------------080403060607040003060307 Content-Type: text/plain; name="setup.ini-csw.patch" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="setup.ini-csw.patch" Index: setup.ini =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/src/src/winsup/cinstall/temp/setup.ini,v retrieving revision 1.2 diff -u -r1.2 setup.ini --- setup.ini 2001/09/20 02:38:22 1.2 +++ setup.ini 2001/09/25 06:24:24 @@ -140,7 +140,23 @@ source: latest/ctags/ctags-5.0.1-1-src.tar.gz 186179 @ cvs -sdesc: "Concurrent Versions System" +sdesc: "cvs: Concurrent Version System" +ldesc: "CVS is a version control +system which can record the history of your files (usually, +but not always, source code).
