Test release: automake-devel-1.6-1

[Charles Wilson <cwilson at ece dot gatech dot edu>]

Version 1.6-1 of the automake-devel package has been uploaded
to sourceware as a test release.  It contains GNU automake-1.6,
installed into /usr/autotool/devel.

Full disclosure: GNU automake 1.6 adds a number of new internal
self tests.  The cygwin build fails four of them:
   'dirforbid.test'
   'pr300-lib.test'
   'pr300-ltlib.test'
   'pr300-prog.test'
OTOH, the cygwin build does pass the other 350 self tests.

The earlier cygwin build of automake-1.5b pass all of its
323 self tests.

So, the new version has no *regressions* -- but fails some of
the new and more stringent tests added in 1.6.

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.  Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick
up 'automake-devel' from the 'Devel' category.  You may need to
click the "Test" button, or cycle thru the version numbers
if this release doesn't show up.

Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need
to find a mirror which has this update.

In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
is a reliable high bandwidth connection.

In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is already
updated.

In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date.

If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package
you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another
mirror.

ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing
list is the appropriate place.
