I've updated the version of patch to 2.5.8-8... ...already a few days ago, but I forgot to announce.
It's a bug fix release which should solve problems reading input files (files to patch) having DOS lineendings. It should also solve a potential screwing up file content i --binary mode, if the temp directory is on another device than the output file. This patch requires Cygwin 1.5.3 ff. 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. If you have general questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: "cygwin at cygwin dot com". I would appreciate it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. *** 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.
