Ämne: Re: Setup 2.573.2.3 says GDB 6.8-2 but installs 6.8-0

In fact, the package is named gdb-6.8-2.tar.bz2 but
when untar'ed displays binaries from 6.8.0.

The final number after the dash is the revision number of the packaging, not part of the program's version number, so you should interpret 6.8-2 as "the second incarnation of the 6.8 package", and it indeed does
contain gdb 6.8.

Thanks for that explanation!

I misinterpreted this announcement (http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-04/msg00166.html) but reading it more closely now I see that fork support was introduced for some environments already in 6.5. So I suppose I was getting my hopes up to high for fork support on cygwin.

Sorry for the trouble.
