That’s a bigger change than the one already done, so more likely to break more 
scripts.

But also, your change loses information.  “WOW64” didn’t mean “32-bit Cygwin,” 
it meant “32-bit Cygwin *on* 64-bit Windows.”  32-bit Cygwin on 32-bit Windows 
just says “CYGWIN_NT-10.0”, just like 64-on-64.

If you want to know bitness, you need to test via uname -m.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Merge of cygwin-xfree-announce into cygwin-announce

2015-03-03 Thread Corinna Vinschen
Hi folks,


it's becoming awkward having to split package announcements between two
mailing lists.  In fact, there's neither a good reason having to decide
where to send an announcement, nor having to subscribe to two lists for
Cygwin package announcements.

Therefore, effectiv immediately, we're going to give up the
cygwin-xfree-announce mailing list in favor of only the cygwin-announce
mailing list.

===
In future, new Cygwin packages and package updates will be announced on
cygwin-announce only.
===

If you're not subscribed to cygwin-announce, only to cygwin-xfree-announce,
I'll suggest to subscribe to cygwin-announce instead.

For reference and archeological diggings, the cygwin-xfree-announce
archives will stay available.


Peace,
Corinna

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: perl-Text-CSV-1.33-1

2015-03-03 Thread David Stacey

The following package has been updated in the Cygwin distribution:

* perl-Text-CSV-1.33-1

Text::CSV provides facilities for the composition and decomposition of
comma-separated values.  An instance of the Text::CSV class can combine
fields into a CSV string and parse a CSV string into fields.

This is an update to the latest upstream release.

Dave
