[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: dash 0.5.12-2
The following packages have been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution: * dash 0.5.12-2 This package is being upgraded to current as the previous release breaks existing function that may be relied on by some scripts. This release has been rebuilt disabling libc fnmatch and glob as Cygwin/winsup/newlib do not support locale dependent named character classes like glibc. Thanks to Andrey Repin for testing and bringing this to our attention, and Harald van Dijk on the dash list for pointing out the commit responsible and the solution. 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.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Re-Release: ca-certificates-2022.2.60-3
The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution: ca-certificates-2022.2.60-1 ca-certificates-letsencrypt-2022.2.60-1 This re-release fixes an upstream and a packaging bug that arises because p11kit makes certain directories unwritable after population. This becomes noticeable only when the user invoking those scripts is not an administrator (or more specifically on Windows doesn't have SeBackupPrivilege and SeRestorePrivilege). Please note that the fix temporarily needs to make the directory writable, which will again fail if the user attempting to do that has insufficient rights for this operation. Mozilla's CA root certificates for use with OpenSSL, NSS, GnuTLS, and other software that handles certificate verification. This is an update to the latest upstream release. This update contains the ca-certificates-letsencrypt package, whose installation will make the ISRG R3 intermediate CA a trust anchor and removes trust for the already expired DST X3 root CA (this should strictly not be necessary, but works around bugs present in some libraries in how alternate chains are constructed and verified). This will allow to successfully verify certificates using the Letsencrypt legacy cert chain in certain applications. Install this package when you currently have trouble accessing sites (due to validation complaining about an expired certificate) that had no problems until about September 30 or October 1 2021 depending on your timezone. The release numbering scheme has been aligned with Fedora. -- *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] duplicity 1.2.2-2
The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution: * duplicity-1.2.2-2 Duplicity backs directories by producing encrypted tar-format volumes and uploading them to a remote or local file server. Because duplicity uses librsync, the incremental archives are space efficient and only record the parts of files that have changed since the last backup. Because duplicity uses GnuPG to encrypt and/or sign these archives, they will be safe from spying and/or modification by the server. This package is the latest upstream version.

Re: Curious setup behavior?
On 02/02/2023 19:46, Jim Garrison via Cygwin wrote: 1) Launch setup-x86_64 and go as far as the "Pending" list (assuming there are pending packages to be updated). Note "Best" is selected. 2) Then click "Back" to get to the mirror selection page 3) Click "Next" again. Now it says there is nothing pending. 4) Click back (mirror selection) and re-select the same or a different mirror and click "Next" Still nothing pending, "Best" is still selected. 5) Select "Sync" instead of "Best" All the pending packages reappear. Switching from "Sync" back to "Best" does not affect the display at this point. Well, it does because these are two different things, but in most usual circumstances they select the same set of packages. (I think e.g. if you've previously installed a test version, they will give different results) If you initially have "Sync" selected, then switching to "Best" reveals the missing pending items. I.e. restoring the list seems to be "edge-triggered" on the "Keep/Best/Sync" state. Yes, this is almost certainly not implemented correctly. Unfortunately, this is complex, because of interactions with how we apply packages and selection modes selected via the command line. It's not clear at all to me what should happen here when those exist and you've then modified them in the chooser and then go back and forward. At the moment, the back button is always enabled, I think. There's probably some points in the flow where we shouldn't allow that. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: {,mingw64-{i686,x86_64}-}binutils-2.40-1
The binutils packages for Cygwin and MingW64 cross-compilation toolchains have been updated to the upstream feature release 2.40, with additional patches applied for Cygwin. binutils-2.40-1 mingw64-i686-binutils-2.40-1 mingw64-x86_64-binutils-2.40-1 The GNU Binutils are a collection of binary tools. Most of these programs use BFD, the Binary File Descriptor library, to do low-level manipulation. Many of them also use the opcodes library to assemble and disassemble machine instructions. Note This release still allows one to apparently use weak symbols (depending on exactly how you test for them), which however don't actually work on Windows nor Cygwin as they are unsupported by the loader. These symbols should always resolve as NULL, but since release 2.37 they sometimes don't. https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28719 After further changes and bugfixes in this area a workaround that was identified earlier no longer has the desired effect and investigation into the real root cause is still ongoing. This change in behaviour triggered a latent bug in gnulib's detection of weak symbols for pthreads that leads to non-debuggable crashes of applications erroneously built with weak symbols. Either update gnulib (or at least threadlib.m4) or add export gl_cv_have_weak=no to the cygport (or set it as an environment variable during configure). -- *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: gnuplot-5.4.6-1
Gnuplot version 5.4.6 is now available on Cygwin. The upstream release notes for this bugfix / minor feature enhancement release are available at: http://www.gnuplot.info/ReleaseNotes_5_4_6.html Cygwin Notes The tutorial has been removed from the 5.4 branch of gnuplot, so it is no longer available in the package. The ggi terminal has been dropped from the build. I am considering dropping both the gpic and the mif terminal in a further update as well. The wxt terminal is now available. The qt terminal still doesn't work on Cygwin due to either a Cygwin or Qt5 bug that is still under investigation. If you want to help, please install the gnuplot-qt5 package and try to debug it. The packaging has been changed with version 5.4 to allow more fine-grained control over dependencies. Depending on which packages you install running plain "gnuplot" will dispatch different executables via the alternatives system. The gnuplot-base package provides no GUI terminal at all and will replace the gnuplot package unless you chose to install one of the other feature packages, this variant is always directly available as gnuplot-base. This variant is most useful for scripted gnuplot invocations and for using it interactively in MinTTY with the sixelgd terminal. The gnuplot-X11 package resembles the previous gnuplot package most closely, the executable for this variant is gnuplot-X11 and depends on a relatively small number of X11 libraries. The gnuplot-wx package adds the wxt terminal and retains the X11 terminal. The executable for this variant is gnuplot-wx and it depends on an extensive list of GNOME libraries. The gnuplot-qt package provides the qt terminal and retains the X11 terminal. The executable for this variant is gnuplot-qt5 and of course depends on Qt5 libraries. Please note that while gnuplot-qt5 does build, the qt terminal does not actually work yet, see above. -- *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
