I also some time ago located the mailing list thread you identify as upstream in your package, and was able to compile a working program. I'm not so much saying I can't live without someone's non-official port, as I am saying it would be great for the project if the port were made official, with an accurate man page, etc. It would be even better if the package could use util-linux as upstream. jrp

All >linux systems have it. Is anyone interested in taking that on ? I read the discussions about more that happened around the time it was released and I seem to have come down against adding more packages to cygutils. I'm really not so much against adding things there now, though. So, if it makes sense to readd more into cygutils, along with script, I have no objections. cgf

On closer inspection of /usr/src/more*/more.c, you did list yourself as the person porting to cygwin, and I should have realized that you are still actively on the cygwin lists. Meanwhile, cygwin less is at 381, but upstream less 382 is out (although http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/ says there is no need to upgrade); and looking at /usr/src/less-381-1, I can't see a maintainer there either. Who maintains less, and are they willing to make a new release of less that includes /bin/more as a link to less, so that we can obsolete the more package in favor of less? This time, I won't be so hasty (with more, I figured that 3 years of inactivity warranted an instant upgrade). To summarize, should cygwin follow the maxim 'less is more'? :) - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!

I did that 'more' release as part of getting together some packages for a minimal but still somewhat useful Cygwin installation. I like 'less' and have never actually used 'more'. I'd actually prefer if we could symlink it to 'less' for the people who are used to it and drop the separate package. Anyway, thanks for the upload but I guess I'm still MIA. :)

This will make > libpcre be picked up even though it is hidden by being obsolete. Actually, more-2.11o-1 was quite easy to build, and on recompilation it automatically picked up the newer libraries. Since more has not had an update since Mar 2002 (carved from util-linux 2.11o), but util-linux is now at 2.13-pre4, I'm assuming the maintainer is MIA, so I uploaded more-2.11o-2. I am NOT interested in maintaining this (I made no changes whatsoever from the -1 release other than the linked in libraries), as evidenced by the fact that I did not recarve more out of the latest util-linux. But at least the libpcre dependency is gone now. If there really is a maintainer, please step up and release more-2.13 sometime soon. But hey, not only do you get the libpcre security fix, but you can now do 'more 3-gig-file', since the old more was so old it was linked back when cygwin could not do 64-bit file offsets! -- Eric Blake (hopefully not stuck with being the more maintainer)

It's there - try unchecking the check box to show obsolete packages. But as more-2.11o-1 really does depend on libpcre, it needs to be recompiled to pick up the security flaw. Meanwhile, as a temporary workaround, I've updated the setup.hint to depend on libpcre until a new more is uploaded. This will make libpcre be picked up even though it is hidden by being obsolete. -- Eric Blake
