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 As a beta release, it adds new optimization features that might be withdrawn depending on feedback received.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 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.
