Patch attached if so. Well, I have mixed feelings. On the PRO side: 1) smaller cygutils == fewer headaches for me. Also, since cygutils is now pulled in by several Base packages, the smaller it becomes, the better. 2) Following the same thought, if something is available (and maintained) elsewhere then cygutils shouldn't duplicate effort, unless its version really adds value -- or is unique to the cygwin platform (e.g. cygdrop). [Hmm...dump.exe = 'od -Ax -tx2z'?] 3) show all names for a single character feature is...interesting. I like the aliases listed for '' (includes gozinta -- and I haven't seen 'bra' and 'ket' used for '' and '' since Statistical Mechanics and Quantum Dynamics...tho technically it is '|' and '|') However, on the CON side: 1) I really find the default table output of ESR's version rather ugly (and the hex only -x, decimal only -d, and octal only -o tables are downright hideous). 2) No long options (so -h/-? work, but --help doesn't. Ditto -v vs. --version). And no --license. 3) Not sure if this matters, but ESR's version has no option to display the high-bit-set character codes (128..255). I find this feature of cygutils-ascii much less useful these days, now that charset:oem (and rxvt) are as-good-as-dead, and other terminals with *real* charset support -- like mintty, xterm, or rxvt-unicode -- are gaining almost complete prevalence on cygwin. I'll wait and see what other folks think before making a decision. Comments, anyone? -- Chuck

In case it wasn't clear, my suggestion was that if somebody did this, it should be hosted by a a third-party repository (similar to how cygwin-ports is structured), and not part of the actual cygwin distribution. -- Chuck

Short version: yes, because the files aren't easily wget(1)able. The files are still part of the -src tarball, of course, so this doesn't affect rebuilding from source.
