RE: Cygwin/XFree86 setup.exe package problem

["Harold Hunt" <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Sam,

That's because I screwed up when I modified Ian's build.sh script.  I forgot
to make the symbolic links part of the Xlib package... and I think I
accidentally made the Xetc package contain invalid links.  Oh well.  I fixed
it now, I think.

I put a new setup.ini and XFree86-lib-4.2.0-2.tar.bz2 at
ftp://huntharo-4.user.msu.edu/pub/cygwin/

Chris: What do I do to get the new XFree86-lib file onto the mirrors?  Do
you want to take care of that (in general), or should I be updating my
packages via ssh?  Would I have the necessary premissions for that?

Harold
