alternatives provides a framework for managing installation of multiple packages that provide similar features, and selecting between them.
[[ compiled using gcc-3.4.4-999 ]] This is the first release specific for cygwin-1.7; there are only trivial differences between this package and the simultaneously-released alternatives-1.3.30c-3 for cygwin-1.5. These are mostly documentation related (the README references cygport-0.9.5 and cygwin-1.7.0-45, and the /usr/share/doc/ layout is influenced by the cygport changes between 0.4.x and 0.9.x). CHANGES (since 1.3.30c-2) ======================== * Fork for cygwin-1.7 development * Add /etc/alternatives/README file, as suggested by Phil Betts (http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-03/msg00926.html) * Some internal build changes. * Update to gettext-0.17 -- Charles Wilson volunteer alternatives maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== 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. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
