The tarballs should be available on a Cygwin mirror near you shortly. The notable changes since the previous release are: 1. enhance rebaseall to support a -T option which allows users to specify additional DLLs to rebase 2. comply with FHS directory structure The following are two examples of how to use rebaseall's -T option: 1. specify additional DLLs via a temp file: $ find /some/path -name '*.dll' >/tmp/dll.list $ rebaseall -T /tmp/dll.list 2. specify additional DLLs via stdin: $ find /some/path -name '*.dll' | rebaseall -T - Old News: === ==== It is *strongly* recommended that users only use rebaseall unless they *really* know what they are doing or are instructed by one of the Cygwin developers. The Cygwin rebase package contains two utilities, rebase and rebaseall. The first utility is modeled after Microsoft's SDK rebase: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/tools/perfutil_2z39.asp The rebaseall utility is a convenient way for users that suffer from the Cygwin rebase problem to rebase their entire system (i.e., all of their DLLs). Note that rebaseall is only a stop-gap measure. Eventually the rebase functionality will be added to Cygwin's setup.exe, so that rebasing will happen automatically. Please read the README file: /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/rebase-2.3.README since it covers requirements, usage, known issues, etc. I would like to thank Ralf Habacker for providing the imagehelper library. This library has enabled me to create a rebase utility that is usable by all Cygwin user (regardless of platform) on all DLLs (regardless of stripping). To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Germany, ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is usually pretty good. In the UK, http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date within 48 hours. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror. The setup.exe program will figure out what needs to be updated on your system and will install newer packages automatically. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin@cygwin.com . I would appreciate if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general. If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
