Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] New on sourceware: cygutils-0.9.7-1

2001-12-05 Thread rotaiv

I used setup to download the latest files and this cygutils was 
included.  When I ran setup to install the files, I selected Skip for 
this particular package.  Each time I run Setup, I still have to click 
Skip for the cygutils package.  Is there a way to make Setup always skip 
this package along with the numerous other pakcages I choose not to 
install?  And please don't tell me, Install everything because I don't 
want to do that.

Regards,

rotaiv

cygutils-0.9.7-1 has been uploaded to the Cygwin net distribution.
cygutils provides a collection of small -- and hopefully useful --
utilities.  This package started life as the misc package from
the CygUtils website, but has been renamed and has a new home:
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils-package/

It provides:
ascii.exebanner.exe   cal.exe   dump.exe   namei.exe
conv.exe u2d.exe  unix2dos.exe  d2u.exedos2unix.exe
putclip.exe  getclip.exe

The source package provides:
semtool.exe  semstat.exe  semtool.exe   msgtool.exe
(these are not distributed in binary form because they require
the cygipc package -- which is not part of the official cygwin
distribution.  There are good reasons for this; search the
mailing list archives if you're curious)

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.  Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick
up 'cygutils' from the 'Devel' category.

Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need
to find a mirror which has this update.

In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
is a reliable high bandwidth connection.

In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is already
updated.

In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date.

If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package
you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another
mirror.

It's a packaging bug.  I put cygutils in the Misc category which is 
always installed.  I have now moved it to the Utils category, so setup 
should remember your skipped it.  Just wait for the change to 
propogate thru the mirror system..
