[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: coreutils-5.2.1-2

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: coreutils-5.2.1-2

[Corinna Vinschen]

I have uploaded coreutils-5.2.1-2.

This package superseeds the packages fileutils, sh-utils and textutils.
The files from these packages should get uninstalled automatically when
you start setup the next time and coreutils should be installed instead.

This Cygwin release differs from the vanilla sources in the following ways:

- kill(1) isn't installed so not to overwrite kill(1) from the Cygwin
  base package.  Same for the man page kill.1.

- su(1) is a non-functional shell script which points you to substitutes.

- cp(1), install(1), ln(1) and mv(1) contain patches to deal with .exe
  suffixes more or less transparently.

=========================================================================
Important note:

I'm releasing this package only because nobody else did so far and this
already took too long.  I'm not at all interested to stay coreutils
maintainer for a long time.  Along the same line, I'm not going to discuss
the way I packed this package.  If anybody dislikes the way this package
is packed, consider to take over maintainership.

If anybody wants to take over maintainership, (s)he's more than welcome.
=========================================================================


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.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.

Yes, thanks, Corinna.  It is a REAL shame that this duty devolved to you.
I'm very guilty.

Can we get a couple of gold stars to ease my guilt?  I know that Corinna
will be thrilled with this meaningless gesture.

Wow, cool!  I was not happy with my christmas decoration at home so far,
but a couple of gold stars will definitely brighten everything up.  Can
I get blinking ones?

Done (and well-deserved).  Thanks, Corinna!

How does the cygwin project choose which tools are patched for dealing
with .exe and what is not?

Thank you for fixing cp.

My next problem is "strip".

strip filename doesn't work if filename really is called filename.exe

$ strip /home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1924#
strip: /home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1924#: No such file or directory

$ ls -li /home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1924# /home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1924#.exe
70650219154389122 -rwxrwxrwx  1 jreed Users 158621 Dec 22 15:02
/home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1924#
70650219154389122 -rwxrwxrwx  1 jreed Users 158621 Dec 22 15:02
/home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1924#.exe

Instead of attempting to fix every command with this problem, I'd prefer
to not have the .exe extension in the first place.

How do I disable this not-needed feature in gcc?

(I will not use old Windows that needs it.)

And mv is wrong too:

$ mv /home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1316# /home/jreed/pkg/bin/bmake
mv: cannot move `/home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1316#' to
`/home/jreed/pkg/bin/bmake': No such file or directory

$ ls -l /home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1316#
-r-xr-xr-x  1 jreed Users 158621 Dec 22 15:18 /home/jreed/pkg/bin/#inst.1316#

It does work if I mv with the filename with the .exe extension.

I've answered this one already:
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-12/msg00671.html>.  To reiterate: use
"gcc -o progname." (note the trailing ".").

Let me rephrase this:

How can I configure gcc to not add the .exe?

(I am hoping that I don't have to diff the cygwin source to find where
this was changed. By the way, where do I download the files like shown at
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=gcc-core%2Fgcc-core-3.4.1-1-src&grep=gcc-core
?)

This will not work for me. I'd prefer to not add a trailing period to
every use of gcc. This is a work-around.

I do already have a gcc wrapper, so maybe I could make this happen, but
I'd prefer not too.

Where is gcc configured or patched to add the ".exe" in the first place?

It is in in gcc/config/i386/cygming.h:

#define TARGET_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX ".exe"

I will have to look closer.

The link I posted above mentions a .patch, .sh and .README files.

Looking at a mirror like
http://sources-redhat.oc1.mirrors.redwire.net/cygwin/release/gcc/gcc-core/
didn't show them.

I guess they are available ... but I was hoping that someone could point
me to the documentation noting where they are or a link to the files that
I have overlooked.

Thank you,

This is actually the output from running the command:
tar xcvf gcc-core-3.4.1-1-src.tar.bz2

The files I used to build gcc are included in the 
gcc-core-3.4.1-1-src.tar.bz2 tarball.

I'm sorry, there is no separate package for the patch and script.
