[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cygwin-1.5.5-1

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cygwin-1.5.5-1

[Christopher Faylor]

I've made a new version of the Cygwin DLL and associated utilities
available for download.  As usual, a list of what has changed is 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.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at: cygwin@cygwin.com .

On the two mirrors which I could find which have the new 1.5.5-1,
there seems to be a problem with the MD5 checksum in the setup.ini file.
Running bzcat on the downloaded cygwin-1.5.5-1.tar.bz2 shows no problem,
but manually running md5sum shows it disagrees with the setup.ini entry.

I replied yes to the "install anyway" prompt I got from setup.exe
(snapshot version 2.407) when it detected the problem, and my installation
does appear to be working.

(This was with mirrors.rcn.net and mirrors.kernel.org.)

Here setup is crashing / exiting. I downloaded setup.ini from
sources.redhat.com and the packages from mirrors.rcn.net. I'm
installing from a local directory. It exits while scanning the
packages.

Nevermind. I redownload setup.ini from sources.redhat.com. BTW,
no md5sum problem.
