From: Harold L Hunt II <huntharo@msu.edu> To: cygx <cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com>, cygxannounce <cygwin-xfree-announce@cygwin.com> Subject: Updated on sourceware: XFree86-[base,bin,doc,etc,fsrv,html,jdoc,lib,man,nest,prog,prt,ps,vfb,xserv,xwinclip]-4.3.0-1 Date: Fri, 01 Aug 2003 15:44:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <3F2A89FA.3080104@msu.edu> (raw) The XFree86-[base,bin,doc,etc,fsrv,html,jdoc,lib,man,nest,prog,prt,ps,vfb,xserv,xwinclip]-4.3.0-1 packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution. There were no Cygwin-specific changes in this release. This is a release to synchronize with the XFree86 4.3.0.1 release. A note about fonts: The font packages *have* been updated to the 4.3.0.1 fonts, however, the font package versions have not been changed. Leaving the font package versions unchanged means that users with 4.2.0 fonts already installed will not have to download the new fonts, which are very large, while new installations will get the new fonts. Anyone is free to "reinstall" the fonts packages, which will cause the newer packages (with the same version number, mind you) to be downloaded and installed. The 4.2.0 fonts are compatible with the 4.3.0.1 XFree86 release; only in extremely limited situations would someone absolutely need the 4.3.0.1 fonts. Those people know who they are and are on their own for identifying themselves. I have no further information about what scenarios, if any, would require the 4.3.0.1 fonts to be installed. I have downloaded and tested the packages. Everything seemed to work fine. No need to report your results to the list unless you run into trouble. -- Harold Hunt 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 'XFree86-xserv' from the 'XFree86' category. You may need to click the "Full" button if it doesn't show up. 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. In the US, ftp://archive.progeny.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is usually up-to-date. In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror. Please send questions or comments to the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing list at: cygwin-xfree@sources.redhat.com . If you want to subscribe go to: http://cygwin.com/lists.html 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/XFree86 in general. If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing list is the appropriate place.
