Hi,
Out of curiosity, when you update the perl and groff packages, are the x*
packages also on the agenda?
Thanks,
Matt

the installation registry was reorganized a few years back
the intention was to keep it backwards compatible but that
obvisouly didn't work
we'll repackage groff and and updated perl 32 bit for next week

a bunch of non-cygwin code and packages need #ifdef CYGWIN
and that generates a lot of traffic
also, while cygwin was/is busy posting about how hard it would be to get 64 bit
native executables working we implemented it 2 years ago on uwin with
transparent
access between uwin*32 and uwin*64 bit processes and files
and via the virtual /32/ and /64/ mounts we also managed to tame the
microsoft penchant for adding a new api for the cross product of
file/registry X ucs16/utf X 32bit/64bit
for the past year or so we have been concentrating on performance in the
face of heavy process load -- the internal test scripts we have regularly
crashed uwin and cygwin -- getting uwin through that has been a chore
we're also in the process of thread-safing many of the libast apis
and that's another time-consuming activity that thankfully is nearing conclusion
