Acknowledged. I'll have to see why it disappeared, especially since the original tarball includes it. I'll also see about building the builtins.1 man page, and creating links for all builtins not also covered by programs (ie. exit.1 would point to builtins.1, but false.1 is already claimed by coreutils). > > 2) The package scripts don't seem to remove /bin/bash as /bin/sh when > downgrading to an older version.

As to downgrading, you must also downgrade the ash package to get /bin/sh to be ash again via setup.exe. Or, just hand-copy /bin/ash.exe from the new ash over /bin/sh.exe (of course, you have to do this from bash or from Windows explorer, and not from sh, since you can't overwrite a running executable). -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin bash maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
