Hash: SHA1
A new release of findutils, 4.3.1-2, is available, replacing 4.3.1-1 as
current.
NEWS:
=====
This is a minor patch release. It adds a proposed patch being discussed
upstream that fixes behavior with 'find -prune' that works with
/bin/oldfind but was failing in /bin/find. Although this release is still
marked beta upstream, it has proven to be more reliable than the stable
4.2.x series on cygwin. As a beta release, it adds new optimization
features that might be withdrawn depending on feedback received. Upstream
news since is available in /usr/share/doc/findutils-4.3.1/.
DESCRIPTION:
============
The findutils package contains programs which will help you locate files
on your system. The find utility searches through a hierarchy of
directories looking for files which match a certain set of criteria (such
as a filename pattern). The xargs utility builds and executes command
lines from standard input arguments (usually lists of file names generated
by the find command). The locate utility scans a database of filenames
and displays matches. The updatedb utility builds the database for locate.
UPDATE:
=======
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the
http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system.
Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'findutils' from
the 'Base' category (it should already be selected).
DOWNLOAD:
=========
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to

QUESTIONS:
==========
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.
