Well, every time we reach the date that the FSF says the patent
expires, they "revise" it to include "new" information which wasn't
previously known.  I know for a fact that they've moved the goalpost
at least 3 times since the original UNISYS expiration date.  I find it
rather suspicious, as if opposing LZW is institutional and they refuse
to change.

Since I am not RedHat and you are, of course you should do what you
think is right.  However, I would find it very bizaare to see IBM sue
over the LZW patent after they just spent literally millions of $$$
fending off a lawsuit from SCO based on similar concepts.  They are
heavily focused on consulting/software and it would not be in their
best interest to alienate the FSF community.  That is why I call it
FUD.

Frankly, I don't understand why either RMS or ESR doesn't just talk to
senior management at IBM and clear this up once and for all.

updated: guile-1.6.7-2, guile-1.7.2-2


I've repackaged the guile packages fixing two bugs in libtool .la
files: Incorrect cyg prefixes on .a and .dll.a files and cross build
artifacts.

Please upload.

Jan.

update: gsl-1.7-1

Hello

Source and binary packages of gsl-1.7 are available at:

http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/ar.burgers/gsl/gsl-1.7-1-src.tar.bz2
http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/ar.burgers/gsl/gsl-1.7-1.tar.bz2
http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/ar.burgers/gsl/setup.hint

For the announcement of gsl version 1.7 see:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gsl/2005-09/msg00000.html

Please upload this new version. I suggest to keep 1.6-1 (that
version did not depend upon lapack) as previous and remove 1.6-2.

regards,

Teun Burgers

Sorry to be picky, but I noticed several nits in the packaging.

Your setup.hint mentions that depending on readline is useful although not
a direct dependence, but then list libncurses7 and libreadline5 instead of
the current libncurses8 and libreadline6.  On the other hand, since they
are not direct dependencies here, but libreadline6 IS a direct dependency
of libguile12, you should probably only list libreadline6 in the
libguile12 setup.hint, rather than here.

Your binary package includes usr/share/doc/Cygwin/changelog.Cygwin, which
is inappropriate for the Cygwin directory (that file, if distributed,
should be in usr/share/doc/guile-1.6.7/).  Also, it should be
usr/share/doc/guile-1.6.7/, not usr/share/doc/guile-1.6.7-2/.

Uploaded.  By the way, your message to cygwin-apps was a bit premature (I
wasn't going to let it through until the upload was complete, but someone
else did).  Oh well, no harm done, considering cygwin.com was down for a
good chunk of the day for upgrades, delaying the upload process.

Removed 1.6-2.

It seems the new wget maintainer did not have openssl-devel installed
when he packaged the new wget version.
