My local Cygwin installation repository has had up to now a subdirectory under release/ called Ruby (upper case first letter rare but not unprecedented) to match the typography in setup.ini. In the latest setup.ini incorporating a ruby update, the subdirectory under x86/release/ is called ruby (lower case first letter). Is this change deliberate and will it stay that way? (I'm not certain when it was introduced but it is made manifest by today's update.)
The structure of the repository has changed recently to better support the two available architectures (32/64 bit). But directory names are at the discretion of the package maintainers. I wouldn't read too much into case differences however. Also, since Windows is only case-preserving in most circumstances, depending on case could cause you some grief in this area. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
