To: cygwin@cygwin.com Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 20:49:13 -0500 (EST) From: "David Arnstein" Reply-To: arnstein@pobox.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I am using the cygwin installer, and it is pointed to the rcn http mirror site. The installer wants to "update" the procps package to version 010801-2. According to the "search packages" page on the cygwin.com web site, most of the files are dated from 2002 in this version. On the other hand, the 3.2.5-1 version features files dated from 2005. Another oddity is that the 010801-2 version has a man page for the "uptime" command, but no executable uptime(.exe). With the above two observations in mind, it seems that version 3.2.5-1 is better than the version 810801-2 that the cygwin installer.exe seems to prefer.
