Bug#376431: I tar'ed up my work from last year on packaging Open Watcom today
I made a tarball of my work from last year on packaging Open Watcom.
I doubt I will ever work on it further. It contains a control file, a
rules file (I don't know how well it works), and a TODO file. The
rules and TODO files contain useful tips for anyone who ever wants to
package OW.
The tarball is an attachment on the following webpage:

As I mentioned earlier in this ITP, Open Watcom requires various
environment variables to be set before use, which goes against Debian
policy. I filed 3 bugs today against Open Watcom requesting that this
be fixed for wcc, wcc386, wccaxp, wpp, wpp386, wppaxp, and wlink. I
bet more than just those 7 tools need to be fixed, but they are the
most important of the Watcom tools. The relevant bugs are:
http://bugzilla.openwatcom.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706 - for wcc, wcc386, wccaxp
http://bugzilla.openwatcom.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707 - for wpp, wpp386, and wppaxp
http://bugzilla.openwatcom.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708 - for wlink
