I don't know if everyone picked up on this from my cygwin-1.3.5 release announcement but I added a new '-c' option to cygcheck:
c:\tmp>cygcheck -c cygwin binutils libncurses5 Cygwin Package Information Package Version binutils 20011002-1 cygwin 1.3.5-3 libncurses5 5.2-1 You can use this to find out what package versions have ostensibly been installed on your system via setup.exe. This relies on the information found in /etc/setup so if you add your own packages via some other method this information will, of course, not reflect reality. 'cygcheck -c' with no arguments will list all of the installed packages. While visiting cygcheck, you might also take some time out to ooh and ah at the better reporting of Windows versions that Corinna added. You'll see it in the first few lines of 'cygcheck -s' output: c:\tmp>cygcheck -s Cygnus Win95/NT Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Fri Nov 16 19:43:33 2001 Windows 2000 Advanced Server Ver 5.0 build 2195 Service Pack 2 cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
