Re: Cygwin distribution versioning


Tim,

The "cygcheck" command can be used to print detailed information about all your installed Cygwin software ("cygcheck -s", "cygcheck --help", "man cygcheck"). The Cygwin DLL itself can be identified with "uname -a". Most of the executable programs in Cygwin will disclose their version when invoked with "--version" (or a variant: "-version", "-v", "-V" etc.).

When discussing cygwin issues, how does one identify the version of his/her cygwin distribution? The "setup.log" file created by the cygwin installer gives the version of the installer itself, as well as the version of each installed package, but what about an overall version for the distribution?
