If the old version still works at this late date (4.0-3 was published in 2005, during the cygwin-1.3.x era), then this new version will too, because the .exe is *the same file*. OTOH, if this new version is broken, then the old one must also have been broken, so please, no complaints unless the following is true: 1) you were previously using sunrpc-4.0-3 and it worked 2) you upgraded to sunrpc-4.0-4 and made NO OTHER CHANGES and now it stopped working. Those are the only bug reports I will accept concerning this package, since it will soon be obsoleted by the forthcoming, modern rpcbind. The sole reason for this repackaging is to avoid conflicts with new facilities in cygwin itself (built-in XDR support), and with new packages that replace many of the separate facilities once provided by sunrpc. Eventually, sunrpc will be completely retired, once all of its facilities are replaced. The only remaining component before that can happen is the completion of a cygwin port of the 'rpcbind' package. Changes since 4.0-3 ===================== o Repackaged, not recompiled + COMPLETELY UNTESTED o librpc and associated headers removed; use libtirpc instead o rpcgen removed; use new rpcgen package instead -- Charles Wilson volunteer sunrpc "maintainer" for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
