Cygwin's TeX Live collections have been updated to the latest upstream release of TeX Live 2016.
The latter was frozen as of 2017-04-12 in preparation for the pretest of TeX Live 2017.
Thank you, Ken for working on this.
After trying the install, I get stopped in the postinstall for
texlive-collection-basic.
/usr/bin/fmtutil cannot be run because Cwd.dll (and others) try to load at a
conflicting
address. I have tried a full rebase multiple times, and I have tried
uninstalling packages
and doing a full rebase, to no avail.
Suggestions, folks? There is nothing obvious to me in cygcheck output, but I
can
share it if you think it will help diagnose things ...
Followup: After yet another round of deleting packages, this time optional perl
modules, things started to work. So I must have run out of address space and
wrapped around or something. I wonder if it would be possible to have rebase
tell us when this happens? (My evidence that this was the problem is that the
address of collision when forking was a fairly low address, but the address
now chosen by the full rebase is rather higher, for the same dll.)
Sorry for the extra chatter - but some recent update must have noticeably
increased the total dll space needed (maybe texlive?).
Regards - Eliot
