[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: wtf-0.0.3-1
- From: Igor Pechtchanski <pechtcha at cs dot nyu dot edu>
- To: cygwin at cygwin dot com

- Reply-to: cygwin at cygwin dot com
wtf(6) is a utility provided by some UNIX and UNIX-like systems including
Slackware Linux and NetBSD. It translates acronyms and filename suffixes
by looking up the definition of a term in various databases.
I've added the OLOCA (<http://cygwin.com/acronyms/>) to the database
directory, so the acronyms from the Cygwin lists will be found (yes, you
can now really ask "wtf is cgf" ;-) ). There's a perl script in the
source package to update the OLOCA database from the web version of the
OLOCA for those who can't wait for regular package updates (also requires
wget). See the README file for details.
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.
Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select "Publishing" or
"Graphics" and then click on the appropriate field until the above
announced version number appears if it is not displayed already.
If you have 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. This includes
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.
