I'd like to see that included with the new Net Release. bash-2.03$ uname -a CYGWIN_95-4.0 GS.FAY.NC.US 22.0(0.16/3/2) 1999-12-5 00:16:58 i586 unknown Unfortunately, it's not presently available. Someone (Earnie ?) mentioned that we might want keep that one like DJ did with the 19990115. Someone else stated that yes we might want to do that but not yet since keeping it would detract from checking out the later packages (apparently because 19991204 was so highly regarded and because development was changing focus from fixing bugs to something else) and concluded with the observation that besides, we still had plenty of time to make the decision about keeping it. I kept the DLL but not the source because I figured I still had plenty of time. <g> I do have the complete source for 19991124. Does anyone still have the complete package for 19991204? Can it be put up for download? Actually, what might be useful is a branch in development. One branch of "stable" and another branch of "cutting edge". The stable branch could be based on 19991204. Perhaps Redhat would consider an increase in resource allocation for the Cygwin Project. -glenn -- ________________________________________ _ _____ ) )_ _ (__\____o /_/_ | ) Glenn Spell <glenn AT gs DOT fay DOT nc DOT us> ) >-----._/_/__]> )________________________________________) `0 | -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
