[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cpuid 20230505
The following package has been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution: * cpuid 20230505 Displays detailed information about the CPU(s) gathered from the CPUID instruction, and also determines the exact model of CPU(s). Where /proc/cpuinfo shows features important to a system, cpuid shows what every feature in each CPU's architecture does. It is updated and released frequently to stay current with Intel and AMD information and supports other vendors' chips. See the project home page for more information: http://etallen.com/cpuid.html For information about changes since the previous Cygwin release, see below or /usr/share/doc/cpuid/ChangeLog after installation. Thu May 5 2023 20230505 cpuid.c: - Fixed bug in (multi-processing synth) in the recently rewritten decode_mp_synth(). The CPU counts for higher levels were not dividing out counts from lower levels. This is analogous to the way print_apic_synth() subtracts out bit widths from lower levels. - Differentiate Core i3-N300 N-Series from ordinary N-Series. (They appear to differ only in branding.) - Added hypervisor+4/eax bit 21: use hypercalls for MMIO config space I/O, based on LX. Not documented by Microsoft yet. - In real_setup(), make inability to switch to CPU 0 no longer a fatal error. It is allowable for CPU 0 to be offlined, just like any other. - Added (synth) decoding for (0,6),(8,15) Xeon W version of Sapphire Rapids, from instlatx64 sample. - Corrected (synth) & (uarch synth) for Sapphire Rapids: family is Golden Cove, not Sunny Cove. - Added (synth) & (uarch synth) Emerald Rapids family: Raptor Cove. - Added (synth) & (uarch synth) Granite Rapids family: Redwood Cove. - In decode_uarch_intel, mark Sapphire Rapids, Emerald Rapids & Granite Rapids with core_is_uarch to avoid replicating the name in (synth). - Added (synth) decoding for (0,6),(10,10),2 Meteor Lake-M B0 from Coreboot. -- 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

[ATTN. Maintainer] po4a
Hi Erwin, since po4a should be re-eleased for perl-5.36.1, I've updated your cygport and pushed it to the playground branch on your repo. Please note that I've downgraded the version to 0.66, since the later releases would need a new dependency that is not yet available on Cygwin (Syntax::Keyword::Try). I've added a dependency on perl-SGMLSpm following Debian and fixed a test fail caused by a wrong assumption about how the build directory looks like (cygport links to the sources rather than creating a copy). Please use a recent cygport version, since it will create the correct perl5_0xy dependency automatically.

[ORPHAN] perl-Finance-Quote
The package can't have actually done something useful for quite some time since most or all of its online data sources have vanished or changed their format over time. There is a new maintainer that tries to fix things up, but in the process of doing so pulled in no less than 44 new dependencies, which I'm unwilling to add to Cygwin. The module is currently a dependency of gnucash, which itself is orphaned and almost 5 years old. I suggest that we remove it from Cygwin, too.

In a new Cygwin installation, choosing only the base packages and cygport, setup wants to install perl-Test-Harness (and therefore perl 5.32). I just tried a second experiment (with a new installation). I chose base plus perl-Test-Harness. Setup didn't report any problems; it simply added perl 5.32, and I let it complete the installation. I then ran setup again, and the Pending view of the Select Packages page showed perl being upgraded to 5.36 and perl-Test-Harness being uninstalled. So setup ended up doing the right thing with respect to the obsolete package, but it needed two passes. Finally, I reran setup and chose cygport for installation. This went through without a hitch. I took the perl-Test-Harness dependency off automake (since Achim told me it was unneeded) around 21:00 UTC on the 03-05-2023 To me, it seems like both that, and an updated texinfo, were needed before installing cygport was possible, but I don't really understand why. (There's definitely a problematic dependency chain cygport -> automake -> automake1.* -> texinfo -> versioned perl which we need to be aware of in future when rebuilding texinfo for updated perl) I also noticed that the latest version of libsolv has a new API for getting the solver to explain it's decisions, so it might be nice at some stage to add some code to setup to use that and write what it says to the log (and then maybe go back and see what it says about the problematic circa).

* remove DECCOLM+DECSCLM from foot
20230311
* improve manpage description for addch versus unctrl format used for
non-printable characters.
* modify version-check for gcc/g++, now works for msys2.

report problems within the current runtime of tic rather than for
conflicts with pre-existing terminal descriptions.
* allow for MinGW32-/64-bit configurations to use _DEFAULT_SOURCE
* clarify interaction of -R option versus -C, -I and -r in infocmp
manpage.
* build-fix in lib_win32con.c

Test: dialog libdialog15/-devel 1.3-6.20230209 (TEST)
The following test packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution: * dialog1.3-6.20230209 * libdialog-devel 1.3-6.20230209 * libdialog15 1.3-6.20230209 Please test this package as extensively as possible, especially if you are a dialog developer, Cygwin package maintainer, or *texlive* user as this package is used with all *texlive* installations. If no issues are reported within a couple of weeks this package will be upgraded to current stable. A script interpreter which provides a set of curses widgets: objects whose appearance and behavior can be customized. For more information see the project home page: https://invisible-island.net/dialog As there are multiple components and many changes each release please see below or read /usr/share/doc/dialog/CHANGES after installation: https://invisible-island.net/dialog/CHANGES.html 2023/02/09 - install ".pc" files in the test-packages. - add pkg-config ".pc" file, for use with the development library. 2023/02/07 - change shared-library configuration in test-packages to use the ABI version in the library filename to match its SONAME. - add sample scripts to test-packages, using new makefile rule "install-examples". - corrected cdialog*.install helper scripts in test-package for Debian - change ftp URLs in test-packages to https - updated configure script, e.g., for compiler-warning fixes. - updated fur.po, zh_TW.po from http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
Updated: cpuid 20230505
The following package has been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution: * cpuid 20230505 Displays detailed information about the CPU(s) gathered from the CPUID instruction, and also determines the exact model of CPU(s). Where /proc/cpuinfo shows features important to a system, cpuid shows what every feature in each CPU's architecture does. It is updated and released frequently to stay current with Intel and AMD information and supports other vendors' chips. See the project home page for more information: http://etallen.com/cpuid.html For information about changes since the previous Cygwin release, see below or /usr/share/doc/cpuid/ChangeLog after installation. Thu May 5 2023 20230505 cpuid.c: - Fixed bug in (multi-processing synth) in the recently rewritten decode_mp_synth(). The CPU counts for higher levels were not dividing out counts from lower levels. This is analogous to the way print_apic_synth() subtracts out bit widths from lower levels. - Differentiate Core i3-N300 N-Series from ordinary N-Series. (They appear to differ only in branding.) - Added hypervisor+4/eax bit 21: use hypercalls for MMIO config space I/O, based on LX. Not documented by Microsoft yet. - In real_setup(), make inability to switch to CPU 0 no longer a fatal error. It is allowable for CPU 0 to be offlined, just like any other. - Added (synth) decoding for (0,6),(8,15) Xeon W version of Sapphire Rapids, from instlatx64 sample. - Corrected (synth) & (uarch synth) for Sapphire Rapids: family is Golden Cove, not Sunny Cove. - Added (synth) & (uarch synth) Emerald Rapids family: Raptor Cove. - Added (synth) & (uarch synth) Granite Rapids family: Redwood Cove. - In decode_uarch_intel, mark Sapphire Rapids, Emerald Rapids & Granite Rapids with core_is_uarch to avoid replicating the name in (synth). - Added (synth) decoding for (0,6),(10,10),2 Meteor Lake-M B0 from Coreboot.
Updated: tack 1.09-4.20230201
The following packages have been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution: * tack 1.09-4.20230201 The tack program is a diagnostic that is designed to create and verify the correctness of terminfo, and create new terminal descriptions that are not included in the standard release.
