NEWS: ===== This is a minor cygwin bug fix release. The only difference from 4.2.25-1 is that xargs now uses a maximum command length of 32k instead of 1M, so you should no longer get 'Argument list too long' errors when using xargs on executables that don't live on cygexec mount points. There is a known bug in cygwin-1.5.18-1 that causes find to have problems when traversing /proc/registry. This has been fixed in cygwin snapshots as of 20050808, and will work when cygwin-1.5.19-1 is released. 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 find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html QUESTIONS: ========== If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. - -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin findutils maintainer CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO: ================================= To unsubscribe to the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
