Dr. Volker Zell wrote: Charles did you forget about this ? o http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-02/msg00042.html This release obsoletes the mktemp package; you should upgrade both packages at the same time or do coreutils second, to ensure that you still have a mktemp program. Um, no? The mktemp package's setup.hint now specifies the _obsolete category. The package directory has been moved from release/mktemp/ to release/_obsolete/mktemp. What's to do? I thought about creating a new, empty package with an updated version number -- but it's too late now. Once somebody has updated to the new coreutils, if they update using my new empty mktemp, then coreutils' mktemp.exe will be deleted. That's no good. -- Chuck

They won't complain until they try to uninstall mktemp and find their coreutils incomplete... That wouldn't be a very common situation (so no rush), but it would be nice to do what you propose at some point.

So, Eric, if you would please upload the two attached files into the proper place simultaneous with your next, regularly scheduled coreutils update, I'd be grateful. -- Chuck
