[ANNOUNCEMENT] Package list updated at the cygwin web site

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Package list updated at the cygwin web site

[Christopher Faylor]

Hello,
I announced a new web page a couple of days ago which listed all of the
packages available in the download areas used by cygwin's setup.exe
program.  The URL is:

    http://cygwin.com/packages/

This URL is also reachable via the cygwin web page by clicking on
the "Cygwin Packages" link.

I've recently added a search option that allows you to find which
package(s) contain a given file.  This should be useful if you know you
need a specific file but aren't sure which package contains it.

The search function can be directly invoked via something like the
following URL:

    http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=cygncurses5.dll

This will find all packages which contain the "cygncurses5.dll" file.
To find something different, change the cygncurses5.dll to... something
different.

FYI,
cgf

Sorry about the duplicate email.

I thought I fat fingered the first message but apparently I didn't.
sources.redhat.com was just slow.

I guess there is another issue concerning the packages page. Most of
the links in the menu list are broken when I want to use them from
the packages page. Example: The FAQ link is

  http://www.cygwin.com/packages/faq/

instead of 

  http://www.cygwin.com/faq/

The additional 'packages' prefix is the problem. 

Can you please fix it?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel.

This works, too:

http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=cygintl.dll

I'm so happy.

Actually, you're the one of primary reasons why I added this
functionality, so I'm glad you're happy.  :-)

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Package list updated at the cygwin web site

[Christopher Faylor]

Hello,
I made a new web page available a while ago which listed all of the
packages available in the download areas used by cygwin's setup.exe
program.  The URL is:

    http://cygwin.com/packages/

This URL is also reachable via the cygwin web page by clicking on
the "Cygwin Packages" link.

I've recently added a search option that allows you to find which
package(s) contain a given file.  This should be useful if you know you
need a specific file but aren't sure which package contains it.

The search engine can be directly invoked via something like the
following URL:

    http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=cygncurses5.dll

This will find all packages which contain the "cygncurses5.dll" file.
