And the above filesize and md5sum come from something else, 5.3.0-6(?) not 5.2.1-5. Anyway you have to edit it setup.ini manually to get back to a previous working configuration of: coreutils 5.2.1-5 cygwin 1.5.17-1 bash 2.05b-17 That is to say if you go to cygwin-1.5.18 there is no way back unless I missed something. -- J Lambert

I already asked, more than a week ago, for 5.3.0-7 to be removed from the mirrors for the very reason that if you downgrade cygwin, you also have to downgrade coreutils to something that was compiled prior to 1.5.18 (such as 5.2.1-5).

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 According to Eric Blake on 7/13/2005 7:10 AM: You can delete coreutils-5.3.0-7. If someone tries back-revving cygwin, they will also need to back-rev coreutils, since coreutils-5.3.0-7 and beyond use strtoimax (and others) introduced in cygwin-1.5.18-1. So, now that 5.3.0-9 is on the mirrors, please delete 5.3.0-7 so that users can successfully back-rev to coreutils-5.2.1-5 if they desire. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!

Gerrit Hey, I'm in the enviable position where a 25% raise would give me the same salary from cygwin as a 25% cut. Isn't multiplication by 0 fun? :) Seriously, though, is there anything we can add to the upset script, such as seeing whether tar tjvf works on .tar.bz2 files, to make sure that we can detect this problem sooner if it ever happens again? -- Eric Blake

(Does anyone know of a free web hosting location that lets me host more than 25 meg? I don't, sorry. Wish I did. You'd think for the monthly rates I'm paying my ISP that they would be more competitive in storage size offered...) ATT is worse. Last I checked (a month or so ago) the limit was 10Meg. YES *MEG*, i.e. enough capacity to store the complete text of the street address of the Library of Congress. Then again, with all the money they're saving by giving their customers an almost-useless amount of storage space, they're able to offer a completely worthless spam filtering system, so I guess it all balances out. Personally, I give this whole Internet fad another six months. Eight at the outside. -- Gary R. Van Sickle

I'm sure there are probably some free web hosts out there that would fit the needs of a package maintainer. However, a lot of them have restrictions that will make it very difficult. Some have maximum file size restrictions, e.g. no single file larger than a few hundred KB. Others have restrictions on the allowed extensions, e.g. .gif .jpeg .html etc. Most of them forbid direct linking which is usually defined as linking directly to a file stored in one of their accounts, as opposed to making a web page using the account and linking to the files from that page. The majority of these servies have strict bandwidth limits and are really intended for use with making web pages, not to be used as file dumps. Many of them munge the content of the files served to add banners or other types of advertising, and it's common to have to use a web browser to upload files, with actual ftp access reserved for paid accounts. That said there are probably some 'free web hosting' services that would be useful to the package maintainer, and the above link is useful as a starting point. I'm just warning anyone that is looking at these services that most of them will not work very well for this purpose. Brian
