The Unix GNU Windows is what you need from MinGW + GnuWin32 to run under Windows as if you were in a Unix environment. This project proposes to offer similar packages in a more Unix like format (i.e. .tar.bz2) and with proper setup files for that purpose

This is quite a milestone. Not only did I fix a lot of the code (especially the directory and archive code) but now you can build a package with the --build command line option! The --build understands two formats: a directory a la Debian and a .info file. This is quite powerful since with a single .info file you can create multiple packages (i.e. runtime, source, documentation, etc.) Let me know if you like it! 8-) Enjoy! Alexis Wilke P.S. wpkg-0.5.exe is the actual tool, not an installer.
wpkg (0.5) unstable; urgency=medium * Fixed the doc so it is easier to find the installation instructions * Reviewed the English on some pages of the documentation * Added a link in the menu to the Bugs tracker * Implemented the --build command line option * Documented the --build * Documented the .info file * Renamed --content into --contents (as in dpkg) * Many fixes to the archive and directory handling (internal) * Creates missing parent directories on installation * Added a new tool named debversion to test and compare Debian versions * Extracted the Debian version test from the tool to a library -- Alexis Wilke <alexis@m2osw.com> Sat Jan 06 2007 01:26:51 -0800 wpkg (0.4) unstable; urgency=medium * Fixed the binary packages so they include the database * Removed the warning in regard to the missing MSYS DLL -- Alexis Wilke <alexis@m2osw.com> Fri Jan 05 2007 23:59:59 -0800 wpkg (0.3) unstable; urgency=medium * Added support for --directory-size * Added the tool dirsize * Save the dependents of a parent package in its status file * Added the necessary tests of dependents in --remove * Fixed the directory reader; the recusivity works right now * Updated the documentation accordingly -- Alexis Wilke <alexis@m2osw.com> Sun Dec 20 2006 18:41:29 -0800 wpkg (0.2) unstable; urgency=medium * Added the --[no-]force-... and --refuse-... options * wpkg only warns when it cannot find msys-1.0.dll * Check the [Pre-]Depends: fields when installing a package * Check the Conflicts field when installing a package * Check the Priority & Essential fields when removing a package * The install makes sure package file paths don't include /../ * Changed the distribution to include wpkg by itself and msys in a .deb * Accept installing packages with their architecture set to "source" * Added the administration flag --remove-database-lock; just in case * Updated the documentation accordingly -- Alexis Wilke <alexis@m2osw.com> Sun Dec 20 2006 18:41:29 -0800 wpkg (0.1) unstable; urgency=medium * Initial release Note that this release includes some files (the .hpp) which are supposed to be from boost-extras.sf.net but these are not yet properly documented and thus I include them directly in this package for now. -- Alexis Wilke <alexis@m2osw.com> Sun Dec 3 2006 18:41:29 -0800
