This collection started life called the "misc" package,
|
|
but was renamed to "cygutils" at version 0.9.5.
|
|
|
|
Many of these utilities require the popt library. Others
|
|
may require the gettext and iconv libraries (libintl, libiconv).
|
|
|
|
Actually, all of the programs that required gettext have been
|
|
removed from this package, as they are now provided by other
|
|
packages (usually, the original source package from which they
|
|
were once copied into THIS package!). Thus, "last" is now
|
|
in the `sysvinit' package, and `cal' (+ many more) are now in
|
|
the `util-linux' package.
|
|
|
|
However, I've kept the infrastructure for gettext-enabled
|
|
programs just because I don't want to have to regenerate it
|
|
if ever we add a new utility to this package which requires
|
|
gettext functionality.

A Note on Licensing:
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
Since this package consists of many small utilities taken
|
|
from various sources, there are a mixture of licenses.
|
|
|
|
Most of these utilities are released under the GPL, but
|
|
some were originally public domain but are now GPL, and
|
|
others are BSD-no-advert.
|
|
|
|
Some files were originally BSD+advert (which is bad, and
|
|
not GPL compatible). However, IF the files in question
|
|
were part of the official BSD distribution from UCB, then
|
|
they have been affirmitively converted from BSD+advert to
|
|
BSD-no-advert licensing. As stated here
|
|
<http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.html>:
|
|
Note: The advertising clause in the license appearing
|
|
on BSD Unix files was officially rescinded by the
|
|
Director of the Office of Technology Licensing of the
|
|
University of California on July 22 1999. He states
|
|
that clause 3 is "hereby deleted in its entirety."
|
|
|
|
So, files derived from older BSD sources, even if they
|
|
still SAY BSD+advert, are now BSD-no-advert. In
|
|
accordance with the wishes of the Director of UC's OTL,
|
|
I have modified the licensing terms to BSD-no-advert of
|
|
files included in this package that fall under his edict.
