Building a specific version of Cygwin

Building a specific version of Cygwin

[Tran, Jantz C]

Hi,

Is there any way I can get the source to specific versions of the Cygwin
source (via CVS or otherwise). I'm primarily interested in being able to
build 1.3.1 and 1.3.9. Thanks in advance.

Some (unfortunately, not all) of the releases are tagged in CVS.  As far
as I can see, there are tags for both of those you need.  A "cvs log"
would have shown that to you.

Other than using the CVS tags?

The releases are tagged for my benefit when I make a release.  I make no
effort to ensure that any tag you see in CVS actually reflects the same
numbered cygwin release.  Also, since newlib and other components aren't
tagged, it isn't possible to recreate a release exactly.

As has been frequently mentioned, with a couple of very minor
exceptions, cygwin releases are always backwards compatible.  So, 1.3.18
DLLs should be able to handle executables built with 1.1.1.
