The following packages have been updated for the Cygwin distribution: *** e2fsimage-0.2.2-1 *** e2fsprogs-1.41.12-1 *** libblkid1/libblkid-devel-2.17.2-1 *** libcom_err2/libcom_err-devel-1.41.12-1 *** libe2p2/libe2p-devel-1.41.12-1 *** libext2fs2/libext2fs-devel-1.41.12-1 *** libss2/libss-devel-1.41.12-1 *** libuuid1/libuuid-devel-2.17.2-1 *** util-linux-2.17.2-1
util-linux provides an assortment of utilities for *NIX systems. e2fsprogs and e2fsimage provide utilities for working with ext2/3/4 filesystems. The libraries provided by e2fsprogs, which were previously only static, are now also available as shared libraries. libblkid and libuuid are now provided by the util-linux sources but are compatible with those previously shipped by e2fsprogs. Note that installing libuuid-devel will make it a little more difficult to link against w32api's UUID.DLL import lib. Please note that these are completely unrelated libraries, and any open-source *NIX software looking for -luuid is looking for this libuuid-devel.
