[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: wcd 6.0.2-1 -- Wherever Change Directory
CHANGES SINCE LAST RELEASE: === New upstream release. * New Friulian translation. * Updated Spanish translation. All changes: http://waterlan.home.xs4all.nl/wcd/doc/whatsnew.txt DESCRIPTION: Wcd is a command-line program to change directory fast. It saves time typing at the keyboard.

dirent.d_type is not working on Cygwin symbolic links.
Hi,
The dirent.d_type value for Cygwin symbolic links is 0 (DT_UNKNOWN). The
value is 10 (DT_LNK) for Windows native symbolic links. I think d_type
should be 10 for Cygwin symbolic links too.
Example program. Run it in a folder with a Cygwin symbolic link and a
Windows symbolic link (create with mklink command in an administrator
command prompt).
#include
#include
#include
#include
int main() {
DIR *dirp;
struct dirent *dp;
dirp = opendir(".");
dp = readdir(dirp);
while (dp) {
printf("%s %d\n", dp->d_name, dp->d_type);
if (dp->d_type == DT_LNK)
printf("SYMLINK");
dp = readdir(dirp);
}
closedir(dirp);
return 0;

DESCRIPTION === man-db is an implementation of the standard Unix documentation system accessed using the man command. It uses a Berkeley DB database in place of the traditional flat-text whatis databases. HOMEPAGE http://www.nongnu.org/man-db/ Thanks Chris.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: dos2unix 6.0.5-1
CHANGES SINCE LAST RELEASE: === New upstream release. * Dos2unix is part of the Translation Project (TP). All translations go via the Translation Project. See http://translationproject.org/ * New translations of UI messages: Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese (traditional), Danish, French, Hungarian, Polish, Serbian, Ukrainian, Vietnamese. * New translations of the manual: Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Polish, Ukrainian. * Generated man pages are included in the source package to prevent compilation problems with very old or very new perl/pod2man versions. * Manuals are now generated from gettext PO files with po4a for easier translation. * All manuals are now in UTF-8 encoding. * Skip symbolic links on Windows by default (same as on Unix). INTERNATIONAL MAN PAGES === Since dos2unix 6.0.5 all man pages are encoded in UTF-8, because even Western-European man pages may contain Unicode characters not supported by the Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) character set. In order to show UTF-8 man pages properly on Cygwin you need to do the following: In /etc/man.conf, change the NROFF definition to use 'preconv'. NROFF/usr/bin/preconv | /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc 2>/dev/null To view the man page set the correct locale. E.g. for Ukrainian: export LANG=uk_UA.UTF-8 man dos2unix DESCRIPTION: This is an update of Benjamin Lin's implementations of dos2unix and unix2dos. Benjamin Lin's implementations of dos2unix and unix2dos are part of several Linux distributions such as RedHat, Fedora, Suse, Gentoo and others. This update includes all RedHat patches and fixes several other problems. Internationalization has been added and ports to DOS, Windows, Cygwin and OS/2 Warp have been made. These implementations of dos2unix and unix2dos have been modelled after dos2unix/unix2dos under SunOS/Solaris. They have similar conversion modes, namely ascii, 7bit and iso. The first versions were made by John Birchfield in 1989, and in 1995 rewritten from scratch by Benjamin Lin. Mac to Unix conversion was added by Bernd Johannes Wuebben in 1998, Unix to Mac by Erwin in 2010. Features * Native language support: Dutch, English, Esperanto, German, Russian, Spanish. * Automatically skips binary and non-regular files * In-place, paired, or stdio mode conversion. * Keep original file dates option. * 7-bit and iso conversion modes like SunOS dos2unix. * Conversion of Windows UTF-16 files to Unix UTF-8. * Handles Unicode Byte Order Mark (BOM) * Secure. homepage: http://waterlan.home.xs4all.nl/dos2unix.html license: 2-clause BSD (FreeBSD) -- Erwin Waterlander http://waterlan.home.xs4all.nl/ -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
