Updated: coreutils-5.3.0-4


A new release of coreutils, 5.3.0-4, is available.

NEWS
====
This is a minor patch release.  The overall 5.3.0 series was designated
unstable by the upstream author (compared to the stable 5.2.1), because it
introduces some POSIX-compliance fixes for the first time; but there have
been few complaints so the 5.2.1 series is no longer available via
setup.exe.  See /usr/share/doc/coreutils-5.3.0/NEWS for the changes since
5.2.1-5.

This release adds the following patches:  cp(1), install(1), and mv(1) are
now more consistent in their behavior of implicit .exe extensions (see
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-03/msg00448.html for some examples that
were previously strange).  Additionally, rm(1) now also has some implicit
.exe handling.  The rule of thumb is that if both x and x.exe exist in a
directory, the command-line argument specifies that file.  But if only
x.exe exists, then both x and x.exe can be used to name the file, and if
.exe was implicitly added to reach the source, then the destination will
also have .exe.  The other patch in this release is that dircolors(1) now
supports the cygwin terminal by default when it is not using /etc/DIR_COLORS.

There is still a known upstream bug with hardlinks - `mv -i a b' fails to
prompt when a and b are hardlinks to one another, but that will be fixed
whenever upstream releases 5.3.1.  Also, I am not sure whether coreutils
should attempt to make `mv a A' work successfully; but in the meantime you
can use the mvv script proposed here:
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2005-02/msg00454.html.  Also, note that
su(1) is

Updated: m4-1.4.3-1


A new release of m4, 1.4.3-1, is available.

NEWS
====
This is a new upstream release.  From the NEWS file, the changes since
1.4.2 are:

Version 1.4.3 - March 2005, by Gary V. Vaughan

* DESTDIR installs now work correctly.
* Don't segfault with uncompilable regexps to changeword().
* Always use \n line-endings for frozen files (fixes a cygwin bug).
* Portability fix for systems lacking mkstemp(3).
* Approximately 20% speed up in the common case of usage with autoconf.
* Supported on QNX 6.3.

You must rebuild from source if you want the experimental changeword
feature enabled, as enabling it slows down normal operation.

DESCRIPTION
===========
m4 is an implementation of the traditional Unix macro processor. It is
mostly SVR4 compatible although it has some extensions (for example,
handling more than 9 positional parameters to macros). GNU m4 also has
built-in functions for including files, running shell commands, doing
arithmetic, etc.

Updated: sunrpc-4.0-3

I've updated the sunrpc package for Cygwin to version 4.0-3.

Updated: nfs-server-2.3-1

I've updated the nfs-server package for Cygwin to version 2.3-1.

  As active development on the package seems to have stalled
(see http://sourceforge.net/projects/unfs/ - last release was
three years ago), and this release contains significant changes,
I decided to bump the version number to 2.3 to reflect the fact
that this package has essentially become a fork of the original
code.

  Changes in this release include:  

  - Configuration now handled completely by autoconf
  - Updated source layout and general source code cleanup
  - Much updated nfs-server-config script
  - Improved documentation
  - Removed CDF support in favor of future ClusterNFS integration.
  - Added support for simple '*' as allowed host in /etc/exports
  - Added support for setting root uid on command line

  With these changes, the nfs-server now passes almost all of the
Connectathon (http://www.connectathon.org/nfstests.html) tests.
If anyone knows of other nfs-server test suites that could be used
to help verify the correctness of the server, I'd be happy to get
a pointer to them.
