New package: rpm-4.1-1

rpm-4.1-1 has been added to the Cygwin net distribution.

The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a powerful command line driven package
management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying,
querying, and updating computer software packages. Each software package
consists of an archive of files along with information about the package
like its version, a description, and the like.

RPM is used primarily on Linux to handle software installation and
removal. The Cygwin port aims to bring some of this capability to
Cygwin.

The primary source of information for RPM is:
<http://www.rpm.org/>

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The Cygwin setup program DOES NOT support RPM packages, and currently
there are no plans to add RPM support soon.

INSTALLATION:

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link
on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your
system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up `rpm'
from the `Utils' category.

Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to
find a mirror which has this update.

[Fwd: Updated: mingw-runtime-2.4-1]

This release among other things adds a _CRTIMP modifier to the import 
declarations.  It's default definition is set to nothing.  It will be 
set to __declspec(dllimport) if you -D__USE_CRTIMP which will provide a 
slight speed improvement to your process but will cause multiply defined 
symbols if you provide a local definition of a shared function, for 
example malloc.  The relevant portion of the ChangeLog is attached.

-----Installation Instructions-----
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on

system.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.

Note that we do not allow downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka
cygwin.com) due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need

In the US,
ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
is a reliable high bandwidth connection.

In Germany,
ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is
usually pretty good.

In the UK,
http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/
is usually up-to-date within 48 hours.

New package: ruby-1.6.8-1

This new package contains Ruby, an interpreted object-oriented scripting
language, written by Yukihiro Matsumoto <matz <at> netlab.co.jp>.

This is the latest stable Ruby release 1.6.8.  This package is built
from the vanilla sources, using the --enable-shared configure option.

Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-
oriented programming.  It has many features to process text files and to
do system management tasks (as in Perl).  It is simple, straight-forward,
and extensible.

* Features of Ruby

+ Simple Syntax
+ *Normal* Object-Oriented features (e.g., class, method calls)
+ *Advanced* Object-Oriented features(e.g., Mix-in, Singleton-method)
+ Operator Overloading
+ Exception Handling
+ Iterators and Closures
+ Garbage Collection
+ Dynamic Loading of Object Files (on some architecture)
+ Highly Portable (works on many UNIX machines, DOS, Windows, Mac, etc.)

The project main web pages are http://www.rubycentral.com/ and
http://www.ruby-lang.org/.

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select "Devel" or
"Interpreters" and then click on the appropriate field until the above

Updated Pine 4.55-1

Hello,

  The latest version of Pine (4.55) has been uploaded to a server near
you.

  This new release fixes bugs found in previous versions of Pine and
introduces a new functionality called "maildrop". A maildrop allows you to
download messages from an external folder (pop3/nntp/etc) to a local
folder, like fetchmail would do.

  More details can be found in the release notes (press "R" in the main
menu of Pine), or from the the main Pine web site at

http://www.washington.edu/pine/changes/4.53-to-4.55.html

  The file /usr/doc/Cygwin/Pine-4.55-1.README explains several ways to
configure Pine to run in Cygwin, and explains how to get around some bugs.
It is highly recommended for night time reading, if not required.

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your
system. Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select "Devel" and
then click on the appropriate field until the above announced version
number appears if it is not displayed already.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at: cygwin at cygwin dot com . I would appreciate it if you
would
use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes
ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general.

New packages: uw-imap, uw-imap-imapd, and uw-imap-util

These packages contain the University of Washington IMAP server suite and
associated utilities.

uw-imap-imapd contains the imapd, ipop2d, and ipop3d daemons, which may be
added to your inetd.conf or xinetd configuration to provide an IMAP4rev1,
POP2, or POP3 mail server in a cygwin environment.

uw-imap-util contains the tmail, dmail, and mailutil programs, which can be
used for mailbox maintenance.  The tmail program is useful as an "injector"
of email into your UW-imap server.  For instance, fetchmail may be
configured to use tmail as the mail delivery agent.

The uw-imap package contains documentation of the suite.  This documentation
is placed under /usr/doc/uw-imap-2002c1/ and the file
/usr/doc/Cygwin/uw-imap.README also contains some useful information.

The University of Washington IMAP site is at http://www.washington.edu/imap/

Please send questions or comments to the cygwin mailing list at:
cygwin <at> cygwin.com.  Prior to submitting a question, please check the
included documentation, the UW-IMAP FAQ at
http://www.washington.edu/imap/IMAP-FAQs/index.html, the Cygwin FAQ, the
Cygwin User's Guide, and the mailing list archives.

This program was built with SSL support enabled, but it also allows
plaintext passwords when you configure your server not to use SSL.  This is
partially compliant to an IESG recommendation that plaintext passwords only
be allowed when SSL is being used.  Please refer to
/usr/doc/uw-imap-2002c1/SSLBUILD for information about this.

New package: netcat-1.10-1

This new package adds netcat-1.10 to the Cygwin release, a simple but
powerful network tool.

Netcat (nc.exe) is a simple Unix utility that reads and writes data across
network connections, using TCP or UDP protocols. It is designed to be a
reliable "back-end" tool that can be used directly or easily driven by
other programs and scripts.  At the same time, it is a feature-rich
network debugging and exploration tool, since it can create almost any
kind of connection you may need and has several interesting built-in
capabilities.

You can find the documentation in /usr/doc/netcat.

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select "Net"
and then click on the appropriate field until the above announced
version number appears if it is not displayed already.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at: cygwin <at> cygwin.com .  I would appreciate it if you would
use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.  This includes
ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general.

New package: a2ps-4.12-1

This new package contains a2p, a text to Postscript formatting program,
written by Akim Demaille <demaille <at> inf.enst.fr> and Miguel Santana
<santana <at> st.com>.

a2ps-4.12 is a slightly older stable version that is built from vanilla
sources without any
special configuration or dependencies.

a2ps formats files for printing on a PostScript printer.

The format used is nice and compact: normally two pages on each physical
page, borders surrounding pages, headers with useful information (page
number, printing date, file name or supplied header), line numbering,
pretty-printing, symbol substitution etc. This is very useful for making
archive listings of programs or just to check your code in the bus. a2ps
supports delegations, i.e., you can safely use a2ps to print DVI,
PostScript, LaTeX, JPEG etc., even compressed.

The project web page is at:
http://www.infres.enst.fr/~demaille/a2ps/index.html

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select "Text"
and then click on the appropriate field until the above
announced version number appears if it is not displayed already.

mailing list at: cygwin <at> cygwin.com .  I would appreciate it if you would
