I've made a new version of 'findutils' available for installation. This updates the package to the latest version available from alpha.gnu.org. This version is notable in that it seems to properly support files greater than 2G. It also includes a fix for the missing "tempfile" program in updatedb. It uses mktemp instead of "tempfile", although an error message still erroneously mentions "tempfile". I normally don't like release packages that are in "alpha" but since this package built OOTB and removed the obsolete use of "tempfile", I made an exception in this case. For a brief descripton of this package, and listing of the files it contains, see http://cygwin.com/packages/findutils . 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. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. findutils should be updated automatically, assuming that you are using a mirror which has grabbed the latest version from sourceware.org.
