The ash package is now obsolete; ash.exe is provided by the dash package. NEWS: ===== This is a minor patch release of dash. It adds a patch for rudimentary LINENO support (the reported numbers are no less precise than what is reported in shell syntax errors, but multi-line compound statements sure leave a lot to be desired). It also makes ash become a synonym for dash (obsoleting the older ash package with its slew of POSIX non-compliance bugs). For now, there are no plans of replacing /bin/sh with dash. See also the upstream documentation in /usr/share/doc/dash/. DESCRIPTION: ============ DASH is a POSIX-compliant implementation of /bin/sh that aims to be as small as possible. It does this without sacrificing speed where possible. In fact, it is significantly faster than bash (the GNU Bourne-Again SHell) for most tasks. UPDATE: ======= 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 'dash' from the 'Base' or 'Shells' category (it should already be automatically selected). Be sure that you do not have any cygwin programs running during the upgrade. DOWNLOAD: ========= Note that downloads from cygwin.com aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html QUESTIONS: ========== If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. - -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin dash maintainer CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO: ================================= To unsubscribe to the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
