I've updated the version of patch in cygwin/latest to 2.5-2. It now behaves properly even when the patch file contains DOS line endings. 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 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 have the latest version of this package: ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/pub/sourceware/cygwin/ (US) ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus (Germany) ftp://sunsite.org.uk/Mirrors/sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/ (UK) Note that if this is the first time that you've run the new GUI version of setup, it will currently download the whole cygwin net release again. After this point it will only download what is needed. 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 in general. If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe to the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
