A new release of findutils, 4.6.0-1, will soon be available on your favorite mirror as the current version, leaving 4.5.12-1 as previous. NEWS: ===== This is a new upstream release. See /usr/share/doc/findutils/ for documentation of what has changed. 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 sourceware.org (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 package maintainer For more details on this list (including unsubscription), see: http://sourceware.org/lists.html
