A new release of findutils, 4.3.4-1, is available for experimental use. If all goes well, it will become the current version in a couple of weeks, rather than the current 4.3.2-3. NEWS: ===== This is a new upstream release, fixing several issues. Based on reports from this list, the upstream maintainer tried to fix -execdir, but there is now a new issue that -execdir {} + only collects one file at a time. The release is marked beta upstream, but the 4.3 series has, in general, been enough of an improvement over the stable 4.2 series that I have focused on 4.3 releases as the primary cygwin release. Although the news file mentions the partial addition of birthtime support, it requires rebuilding from source against a cygwin snapshot to take advantage of this feature, since birthtime will not be supported officially until cygwin 1.7.0. See also /usr/share/doc/findutils-4.3.4/. DESCRIPTION: ============ The findutils package contains programs which will help you locate files on your system. The find utility searches through a hierarchy of directories looking for files which match a certain set of criteria (such as a filename pattern). The xargs utility builds and executes command lines from standard input arguments (usually lists of file names generated by the find command). The locate utility scans a database of filenames and displays matches. The updatedb utility builds the database for locate. 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 'findutils' from the 'Base' category (it should already be selected). DOWNLOAD: ========= Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka 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 findutils 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.
