Okay, so I get the general idea. First you get the cygwin-src package. Unpack it and run cygport on the coreutils-7.0-2.cygport file with download option.
If you are rebuilding an existing source package, you don't need to download it again, the sources are already there.
This downloads the original gnu package and applies the two patch files. coreutils-7.0-2.src.patch and coreutils-7.0-2.cygwin.patch.

aren't present in the orginal gnu package -- is this correct?
Correct. There may be other patches as well, if PATCH_URI is defined. Yaakov -- 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
