[Christopher Faylor]

I've made a new version of 'findutils' available for download.  This
updates the package to the latest version available from ftp.gnu.org.
This version is notable in that it seems to include a working version
of 'updatedb'.

For a brief descripton of this package, see
http://cygwin.com/packages/ .

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.  When setup is run, findutils should be installed automatically.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at: cygwin@cygwin.com .  I would appreciate it 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.

Updated: findutils-4.2.10-2

[Christopher Faylor]

I've made a new version of 'findutils' available for installation.  This
updates the package to the latest version available from alpha.gnu.org.
This version is notable in that it seems to properly support files
greater than 2G.  It also includes a fix for the missing "tempfile"
program in updatedb.  It uses mktemp instead of "tempfile", although an
error message still erroneously mentions "tempfile".

I normally don't like release packages that are in "alpha" but since
this package built OOTB and removed the obsolete use of "tempfile",
I made an exception in this case.

For a brief descripton of this package, and listing of the files it
contains, see http://cygwin.com/packages/findutils .

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.  findutils
should be updated automatically, assuming that you are using a mirror
which has grabbed the latest version from sourceware.org.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list.
