[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: automake-devel-1.6.1-3

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: automake-devel-1.6.1-3

[Charles Wilson]

Version 1.6.1-3 of the automake-devel package is now
available.  It contains GNU automake-1.6.1,
installed into /usr/autotool/devel.

Changes from 1.6-1:

o updated to official 1.6.1 release
o fix a packaging bug in the 1.6 cygwin port (the 'dirlist'
   file was in the wrong directory)
o Make "clean-binPROGRAMS" work better when LIBTOOL is in
   use.  This patch has been accepted by automake-cvs
o A new test (from automake-cvs) added that checks for the
   failure mode that the above patch is supposed to fix.
o No longer fails these tests:
      dirforbid.test
      pr300-lib.test
      pr300-prog.test
o However, it fails these tests:
      pr300-ltlib  (was also failed in 1.6)
      subobj9      (new test in 1.6.1)
   So, improvement.

See NOTES section, below.

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 'automake-devel' from the 'Devel' category.

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://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
is a reliable high bandwidth connection.

In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is already
updated.

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 mailing list at:
cygwin@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 in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing
list is the appropriate place.

NOTES:

Test failures: pr300-ltlib

This is due to a libtool bug, in which two copies of each .o are
included in static archives -- which doubles their size, but also
makes 'strip --strip-debug' go nuts.  It has been reported to the
libtool list.

Test failures: subobj9

This is due to the 'cp -p' bug in fileutils (although I haven't
checked whether it still exists in the very recent fileutils package
cgf just released).  Check the cygwin mailing list archives for
May 2002 for more info.
