-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A new release of findutils, 4.4.0-1, is available for use, leaving 4.3.13-1 as the previous version. NEWS: ===== This is a new stable upstream release. Cygwin was previously using the beta 4.3 series instead of the stable 4.2 series, and not much changed from 4.3.13 other than the version number. The NEWS file, however, contains all differences from the last stable 4.2.x release. Although the news file mentions the partial addition of birthtime support, it requires rebuilding from source against a cygwin snapshot to take advantage of this feature, since birthtime will not be supported officially until cygwin 1.7.0. This release depends on fixes to cygwin bugs that are only present in cygwin 1.5.25 or newer. See also /usr/share/doc/findutils-4.4.0/. DESCRIPTION: ============ The findutils package contains programs which will help you locate files on your system. The find utility searches through a hierarchy of directories looking for files which match a certain set of criteria (such as a filename pattern). The xargs utility builds and executes command lines from standard input arguments (usually lists of file names generated by the find command). The locate utility scans a database of filenames and displays matches. The updatedb utility builds the database for locate. UPDATE: ======= 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. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'findutils' from the 'Base' category (it should already be selected). DOWNLOAD: ========= Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html QUESTIONS: ========== If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. - -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin findutils maintainer CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO: ================================= To unsubscribe to the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
