Message-ID: <19990317001553.A22927@cygnus.com> (raw)
We're in the middle of exciting times for free software, and a lot has
been happening on sourceware.cygnus.com site since my last update to
this mailing list. First off,
LIST ADMIN DETAILS
The list has moved. It used to be sourceware-announce@cygnus.com.
It is now sourceware-announce@sourceware.cygnus.com. I'm the only one
who posts to it, so this is not a big deal. However, to unsubscribe,
you'll need to send a note to
sourceware-announce-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
To get off the list. The message body and Subject line are ignored.
Send me mail directly if you need help, jsm@cygnus.com.
WEB PAGE CHANGES
No original ideas here, I've been quietly editing the
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ web page to make it more useful.
Contact me if you have comments or tasty recipes.
NEW PROJECTS
Since my last update, there have been two swanky cool new projects
added to sourceware.cygnus.com:
MAUVE - a collaborative effort to create a free testsuite for Java-TM
class libraries. Most of the free software Java projects are pitching
in, and HP has just donated a bunch of code. Mauve went public just
this week.
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/mauve/
LIBSTDC++ - an implementation of the ISO Standard C++ Library for
the EGCS compiler,
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/libstdc++/
PTHREADS-WIN32 - a pthreads implementation for Win32 systems
(Win95/98/NT) for all you blokes who have yet to install Linux over
your Win32 partitions,
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/pthreads-win32/
GSL - GNU Scientific Library, a library of routines for numerical
processing,
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/gsl/
NEW RELEASES
CYGWIN released B20.1 in December 1998, this is a hugely fastly
cooly superlatively great upgrade from B19 and I have been told
that the UK's Queen uses it herself.
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/
AUTOCONF released version 2.13 in January 1999. This is the first
new release of Autoconf in about two years, and includes a whole
barrel full of fun portability tests. Don't download this one right
before bedtime or you may not get to sleep due to the sheer joy of
making your programs portable.
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/autoconf/
AUTOMAKE, not to be outdone by its autoconf sibling, released
version 1.4 in January 1999. It's nearly as captivating to play
with automake as it is to play with autoconf. People who suffer
from addictions should avoid prolonged exposure to both of these
programs.

INFRASTRUCTURE and OTHER THINGS TO DISCUSS AT PARTIES
MAILING LISTS - we're handling all kinds of mailing lists on
sourceware.cygnus.com with the qmail+ezmlm packages. You'll see this
used more and more for all of our mailing lists. I've also set up
mhonarc-generated web archives for all of the mailing lists, so most
of the projects will have browsable web archives available. I'll be
adding a search engine in the near future for extra bonus fun.
PARTY TALK - CYGNUS NAMING CONTEST. Cygnus is soliciting ideas for
a new company name. The winner gets an Pentium II workstation running
Linux. Enter early, enter often.

Over and out,
Jason
