[ANNOUNCEMENT] Cygwin package search down for a while
I'm working on bringing Cygwin's package search into the multi-arch world so it will be down for a while while I tweak things. It should be back up by Saturday so please don't panic unless it seems broken after Saturday afternoon. -- 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

The new package interface allows you to switch between x86 and x86_64 when searching for or displaying packages. This interface now uses javascript to control which arch is displayed.

That seems like something you could easily just make a firefox bookmark do. I do something similar to quickly get to bug reports at work. Create a shortcut like: http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?arch=x86grep=%s save it with a keyword like cygpackage and you should be able to type: cygpackage binutils to search for junk. cgf -- 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
