Updated: coreutils-6.10-1


A new release of coreutils, 6.10-1, has been promoted to current (it had
been available as experimental).  This means 6.9-5 is now the previous
version.

NEWS:
=====
This is a new stable upstream release.  It adds a few new utilities: arch
performs a subset of uname to increase portability of older scripts,
mktemp allows secure creation of temporary files and directories, and
chcon and runcon exist to mirror Linux security context utilities
(although cygwin does not yet support the concept, so the cygwin versions
don't do anything).

This release obsoletes the mktemp package; you should upgrade both
packages at the same time or do coreutils second, to ensure that you still
have a mktemp program.

This release obsoletes the arch program that was previously available in
the util-linux package; if you used util-linux 2.12 or earlier, you should
upgrade both packages at the same time or do coreutils second, to ensure
that you still have an arch program.

To double-check, you can run 'cygcheck -c coreutils mktemp util-linux'; if
any of them show up as incomplete, rerun setup.exe and select 'reinstall'
for the affected package.

I've attached a list of changes since 6.9.  See also the upstream
documentation in /usr/share/doc/coreutils-6.10/.

New package: robodoc-4.99.34-1

Version 4.99.34-1 of "robodoc" has been uploaded.

ROBODoc is a source documentation tool. The idea is to include for
every function or procedure a standard header containing all
sorts of information about the procedure or function.  ROBODoc
extracts these headers from the source file and puts them in a
separate autodocs-file.  ROBODoc thus allows you to include the
program documentation in the source code and avoid having to
maintain two separate documents.  Or as some people put it: 'robodoc
is very useful - especially for programmers who don't like
writing documents with Word or some other strange tool.'

ROBODoc can format the headers in a number of different formats:
HTML, RTF, LaTeX, or XML DocBook. In HTML mode it can
generate cross links between headers. You can even include parts
of your source code.

ROBODoc works with many programming languages: For instance C,
Pascal, Shell Scripts, Assembler, COBOL, Occam, Postscript,
Forth, Tcl/Tk, C++, Java -- basically any program in which you
can use remarks/comments."

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the cygwin mailing list at: cygwin <at> cygwin.com .

Updated: git-1.5.4-1


A new release of git, 1.5.4-1, has been uploaded, replacing 1.5.3.8-1 as
the current version.

NEWS:
=====
This is a new upstream release.  See also the package documentation in
/usr/share/doc/git-1.5.4/, along with the attached upstream release notes.

When compiled out of the box, the upstream git maintainers cater to older
cygwin releases, and intentionally disable certain features that have been
reported on their mailing list, even though they work with the latest
cygwin.  Therefore, this build turns those features back on.  However, it
means that this version does assume that you are not using FAT or FAT32 to
hold your repositories, since they do not store file permissions very
accurately.

DESCRIPTION:
============
Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
projects with speed and efficiency; it is used mainly for various open
source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.

Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools,
similar to e.g. GNU Arch or Monotone (or BitKeeper in the proprietary
world). Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
central server.

New: libpq5 (dummy for clisp-2.44-1)

I've uploaded a temporary libpq5-8.2.5-1 package with just the file
   /bin/cygpq5.dll
which is a dependency for the recently uploaded clisp-2.44-1 package.

You should not install this package by hand, because it does nothing.

The new postgresql-8.2.6 or postgresql-8.3.0 package which
will be uploaded soon, will provide the client and server
backends and update this temp. libpq5 package.

New package: atool

The atool package is now available in the Cygwin distribution.  atool is a
script for managing file archives of various types (tar, tar+gzip, zip, bzip2,
rar, 7zip, ...).  atool is called under several names:

* aunpack extracts files from an archive. It overcomes the dreaded
"multiple files in archive root" problem by first extracting to a
unique subdirectory, and then moving back the files if possible.
aunpack also prevents local files from being overwritten by mistake.

* apack creates archives.

* als lists files in archives.

* acat extracts files to standard out.

* adiff generates a diff between archives.

Updated: make-3.81-2

I've made a new version of 'make' available for download.  This is
just a simple package refresh to change the dll dependency to
cygintl-8.dll as requested in this message:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-02/msg00225.html

Note that the --win32 command line option and "MAKE_MODE" environment
variable are no longer supported in Cygwin's make.  If you need to use a
Makefile which contains MS-DOS path names, then please use a MinGW
version of make.

See: http://mingw.org/ for details on downloading a version of make
which understands MS-DOS path names.  Please! direct any questions about
the MinGW version of make to the appropriate MinGW mailing list.

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.  Run setup.exe to install or update the make package.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list.  I would appreciate it if you would use the mailing list
rather than emailing me directly.
