[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: bash-2.05-2

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: bash-2.05-2

[Corinna Vinschen]

I've updated the version of bash in cygwin/latest to 2.05-2.

This version solves the problem of the disfunctional `cd' and `pwd' in
/cygdrive paths.

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.

Run setup and answer all of the questions.  The mirrors below have the
latest version of this package:

ftp://ftp.sunsite.utk.edu/pub/cygwin/ (US)
ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus
(Germany)
ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/ (UK)

Note that if this is the first time that you've run the new GUI version
of setup, it will currently download the whole cygwin net release again.
After this point it will only download what is needed.

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.

:-((( You're right. I just checked that it was already in 2.05-1.
My patch only checks for the cygdrive prefix if the first part
of the path doesn't exist. I shouldn't patch too hectically...

This version doesn't work with network shares.

$ cd //myserver/myshare/mydir
$ pwd
//myserver/myshare/mydir      <- Ok
$ cd ..
$ pwd
//myserver/myshare/mydir/..   <- not as expected
$ /bin/pwd
//myserver/myshare            <- expected output
