Updated: sharutils-4.10-2

A new release of sharutils, 4.10-2, is available, leaving 4.8-1 as
previous.  (4.10-1 was briefly on the mirrors, but was missing some patches).

NEWS:
=====
This is a new upstream version.  Details about the release are listed
below.  Using shar on text mounts continues to have the possibility that
line endings on text files might not be handled the way you want, but if
it was truly a text file, that should not matter to you; the heuristic
that shar uses to decide between text and binary files is whether it
contains non-printing characters.  It is safer to use shar/unshar on
binary mounts (remembering that unshar is inherently unsafe).  uuencode
and uudecode, on the other hand, work reliably regardless of the
underlying mount point.  See also the package documentation found in
/usr/share/doc/sharutils/.

DESCRIPTION:
============
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.

Updated: {libtool/libltdl7}-2.2.11a-1

GNU libtool is a generic library support script. Libtool hides the
complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable
interface.

This is a bugfix and feature enhancement update.

[[ compiled using gcc-4.3.4-3 ]]

CHANGES SINCE 2.2.7a-15
=================================
* Updated to latest git master version (2010-09-02,
  0f052db3b89835904b95d8336b2491e7b8eef8f7)
* libtool script supports linking with .la files that contain
  an '='-indicated sysroot
* Projects using libtool now support a new --with-sysroot=... option
* Largest cygwin patches have been merged upstream
* Remaining (old) patches:
  + allow runtime library flags (like -static-libgcc)
    - Yaakov Selkowitz "libtool: -{shared,static}-libgcc"
      http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-08/msg00243.html
  + [cygwin|mingw] Create UAC manifest files (as modified)
* New patches:
  + Fix linking with -fstack-protector (Yaakov Selkowitz)
    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libtool.bugs/7330/focus=7341
  + Fix order of PATH manipulation in cwrapper (reported by Jon Turney)
    http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-07/msg00601.html
* Does not yet support LTO. There is an lto branch upstream, and it is
  slated to be merged in to the release branch before 2.2.12 (due RSN)
  I'll update again at that time.

Updated: autoconf-9-1

The autoconf package has been updated to version 9.  Recall that this
package is not the real autoconf, but is a wrapper system to delegate to
the appropriate version of real autoconf (either 2.13 or 2.67 at present).

This is a feature enhancement and compatibility update, which adds
support for the autoconf2.5-2.67 release.

CHANGES since autoconf-8-1
==========================================
* update to latest upstream release
  + adds support for autoconf-2.66, autoconf-2.67

Updated: autoconf2.5-2.67-1

Autoconf is an extensible package of m4 macros that produce shell
scripts to automatically configure software source code packages.  The
autoconf2.5 package contains the latest edition of autoconf in the 2.5x
release sequence (which includes 2.60, 2.61, etc).

Changes since autoconf2.5-2.65-1
======================================================================
* update to latest upstream release
  + see list of upstream changes below
* Include Debian patchset 2.67-2

Testsuite results:
======================================================================
ERROR: 469 tests were run,
6 failed (4 expected failures).
8 tests were skipped.

Unexpected failed tests were:
193: parallel test execution         FAILED (autotest.at:1312)
  Had to manually kill the test, because it was hung for over an hour.

197: parallel syntax error           FAILED (autotest.at:1356)
  Ditto.

Cygwin's autoconf-2.65 package also had some issues with the parallel
tests (slightly different: previously microsuite actually reported
a failure).  So, I don't consider this a regression in autoconf;
although it's possible cygwin itself has regressed.

Note that I ran the tests with LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Updated: mintty-0.8.3-1

mintty 0.8.3-1 is on its way to the Cygwin mirrors. This is a bugfix release.

DESCRIPTION
===========
Mintty is a terminal emulator for Cygwin with a native Windows user
interface and minimalist design. Among its features are Unicode
support and a graphical options dialog. Its terminal emulation is
largely compatible with xterm, but it does not require an X server.

CHANGES
=======
- Guard against Windows DLL hijacking vulnerability.
- Fixed a bug that occasionally caused the end of the child process to
be missed and hence the terminal window to wrongly stay open.
- With --hold=all or --hold=error, make sure the process termination
status is only printed after the last output from the pty.

Previous changes from 0.7.1:
- Copy-on-select is enabled by default.
- The default font size was reduced from 10 to 9, more in line with
the Windows console's default.
- I/O handling was redesigned using /dev/windows and select(). The
result of this is that signals sent to mintty are now handled
immediately. In particular, suspending mintty works properly now.
- A new option allows to put the scrollbar on the left-hand side of
the window. It's on the 'Window' pane of the options dialog.
- The line cursor is displayed with the thickness configured in the
Windows accessibility control panel (which defaults to 1 pixel).
- Excess line content is no longer thrown away when narrowing the
window, i.e. it now reappears if the window is widened again

Updated: ocaml-3.12.0-2

Version 3.12.0-2 of ocaml has been uploaded.

OCaml is a functional programming language with imperative features, objects,
and modules.

This update (from 3.08.1) represents 6 years of OCaml development, so I'm not
going to list all the changes.  From now on, I will keep this package up to
date with upstream releases.

Dynamic linking support is not included yet, but will soon be.
