Cygutils is a collection of useful(?) tools for the cygwin
platform. This is a content update and feature enhancement.
NOTE that you will have to explicitly install cygutils-x11
and cygutils-extra, to retain equivalent functionality as
the old cygutils package. This change was necessary to avoid
certain dependency issues.
CHANGES (from cygutils-1.4.12-1)
================================
* Split into multiple subpackages to simplify dependencies
- cygutils contains only cygstart, mkshortcut, readshortcut
and is in the Base category.
- cygutils-x11 contains the (X11) desktop integration files
and has relatively heavyweight dependencies, and is in the
X11 category.
- cygutils-extra contains the rest of the utilities and
documentation, and is in the Utils category.
TODO (call for patches):
================================
* Update (some?) utilities to handle unicode filenames, similar to
IWAMURO Motonori's work on cygstart. Which utilities need this?
mkshortcut and lpr, probably. Any others?
