unzip-5.41-1 is ready for testing, and has been uploaded to sourceware. UnZip is an open-source, command-line alternative to other zip-format archives such as WinZip, etc. unzip-5.41 is the latest release from Info-Zip, ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/pub/infozip/unzip.html. I've had unzip-5.41 on the CygUtils site (http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/) for some time, but that version had a few problems: 1) it was built using windows-ish rules, so it didn't understand symlinks 2) had a few problems with text-mounts This version is built as a unix-ish application, and hopefully I've cleared up the remaining text-mode issues. Furthermore, this package follows the standard packaging rules for 'official' cygwin packages -- installs into /usr, includes documentation in /usr/doc/, etc. This version is marked as a test release. INSTALLATION: To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Run setup and answer all of the questions. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE choose a mirror site for your download. The 'sources.redhat.com' site is badly overloaded. The mirrors below are fairly reliable, and should have the latest version of this package soon, if they don't already: ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/pub/sourceware/cygwin/ (US) ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ (Germany) ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/pc/cygwin/ (Greece) The setup.exe program will figure out what needs to be updated on your system and should install the zip package automatically. To install this Test version of unzip you'll have to tell setup.exe to specifically install it by clicking on the arrows to the left of the readline package line until "Test" shows up. You may need to click on the "Full/Part" button in the upper right corner of the the setup screen to get readline to show up in the list. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would appreciate if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin general. NOTES: o Building the package from source requires gcc-2.95.2-5 and binutils-20001029-2 or later o Abides by the cygwin package system standard: - binaries /usr/bin/unzip.exe, funzip.exe, unzipsfx.exe, zipinfo.exe, zipgrep - cygwin-specific docs in /usr/doc/Cygwin/unzip-5.41.README - generic docs in /usr/doc/unzip-5.41/* o A cygwin-specific README and PATCH are stored in the source archive, under <top>/CYGWIN-PATCHES/* (although that patch has already been applied to the archive itself). The cygwin-specific README is also installed by the binary distribution as described above. o This package WAS built with decryption support -- although the corresponding zip package does NOT include ENcryption support. The unzip-5.41 code base contains decryption support by default, without using the zcrypt29.zip package at ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/pub/infozip/src/zcrypt29.zip. (Blame US cryptography export code; at present, the export of decryption binaries and encryption source code rules have been relaxed although the export of encryption binaries still requires explicit notification of the US govt.) o this build is -mno-win32 clean; that is, it builds from source identically, regardless of whether gcc sets the _WIN32 or WINNT defines.
