sharutils 4.15.2-1
------------------------------------------
The sharutils package contains the GNU shar utilities, a set of tools
for encoding and decoding packages of files (in binary or text format)
in a special plain text format called shell archives (shar).  This
format can be sent through e-mail (which can be problematic for
regular binary files).  The shar utility supports a wide range of
capabilities (compressing, uuencoding, splitting long files for
multi-part mailings, providing checksums), which make it very flexible
at creating shar files.  After the files have been sent, the unshar
tool scans mail messages looking for shar files.  Unshar automatically
strips off mail headers and introductory text and then unpacks the
shar files.

Note that unshar is inherently unsafe by design, because it executes
arbitrary shell scripts; therefore the use of shar archives should be
limited to situations where the receiver trusts the sender.

Build instructions:
  unpack sharutils-4.15.2-1-src.tar.xz
    if you use setup to install this src package, it will be
    unpacked under /usr/src automatically
  cd /usr/src
  cygport sharutils.cygport all

This will create:
  /usr/src/sharutils-4.15.2-1.tar.xz
  /usr/src/sharutils-4.15.2-1-src.tar.xz
  /usr/src/sharutils-debuginfo-4.15.2-1.tar.xz

Or use 'cygport sharutils.cygport prep' to get a patched source directory

To find out the files included in the binary distribution, you can use
"cygcheck -l sharutils", or browse the listing for the appropriate
