base-files (/etc/profile.d) issue
John, A '/bin/find: /etc/profile.d: No such file or directory.' error was just reported in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-09/msg00061.html on the main Cygwin list. This means that the directory didn't get created, and /etc/profile doesn't check for its existence before running find (the previous syntax, 'for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh', didn't have this problem). There are two solutions for this: a quick one is to include /etc/profile.d into the tarball of the base-files package (so it always exists), and the right one is to add an 'if [ -d /etc/profile.d ]; then ... fi' check around the find invocation (there's no reason you can't do both, BTW).

[Update] base-files 2.5-1
The test for mk[passwd|group|group_l_d] and the resulting messages are as safe as we (Igor and Pierre premier amongst others) can make it. Some other safeguards improved.

Indeed there isn't one in the binary distribution, though there is a

I propose the following patch to generic-build-script.sh such that
the NEWS file is included in de binary distribution.

ncurses, call for assistance
I noticed that libncurses5-5.2-1 is currently distributed without source. While that library is no longer current (far from it), it is possible that some users may still be using binaries that link against it. Therefore, I'd like to keep it on the server for another few months at least. However, one of the problems with 'external-source:' is that when the parent becomes obsolete, the maintainer (that's absent-minded me) must remember to 1) change the DLL package's setup.hint to no longer say external-source 2) move a copy of the parent's -src package into the DLL package's directory, suitably renamed. Apparently, I did not do this. So, I'm looking for ncurses-5.2-1-src.tar.bz2 as originally distributed via the cygwin mirrors. I can't find it in my own archives, and it's long since disappeared from the net. Help? Or I'll have to (prematurely?) remove that compatibility DLL. -- Chuck
