How do you upgrade to XR117

[jchas5]

I have been looking through the cygwin mirrors for the last two days trying to find the X11R7 packages via setup.exe. When I go to the X11 tab, I can not find any X11R7 packages. I have tried to install them twoce and all I get is X11R6.

Sorry if this a lame question, I just do know where to look, google doesn't seem to provide any specific advice other than use the cygwin setup.exe file and it will update automatically.

Thanks

I am hoping this upgrade solves the matlab problem I posted about yesterday.

I'm afraid that really covers it.  What makes you think that you're not
getting upgraded?  What mirror are you using?

In case it helps, here's one of the announcements about the new X11R7:

<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2008-11/msg00000.html>

You can review the X announcements email list for other announcements/
details if you like/need.

Any mirror that is available via setup.exe has the newest X.org
packages.

If you are looking for something called "X11R7" that may part of your
problem.  setup.exe simply refers to the newer packages as "X.org".

Otherwise, see the problem reporting guidelines mentioned here:

Well the reason I am thinking that I am not getting the X11R7 is that the
/usr directory is showing X11R6 with a time stamp of my last install:

$ ls -ltr
total 0
drwxrwx---+  2 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:35 tmp
drwxrwx---+  2 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:35 src
drwxrwx---+  5 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:35 local
drwxrwx---+  9 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:37 X11R6
drwxrwx---+  6 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:38 ssl
drwxrwx---+  3 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:40 man
drwxrwx---+  4 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:40 sbin
drwxrwx---+ 39 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:46 include
drwxrwx---+ 49 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 28 10:30 share
drwxrwx---+ 36 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 28 10:30 lib
drwxrwx---+  2 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 28 13:48 bin

Unless it installs in the X11r6 directory in the /usr directory.

No I am not looking for something called X11R7, I am simply
looking trying to install the X.org packages from the setup.exe

Should I see a X11R7 directory in /usr?

Here is my /usr:

$ ls -ltr
total 0
drwxrwx---+  2 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:35 tmp
drwxrwx---+  2 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:35 src
drwxrwx---+  5 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:35 local
drwxrwx---+  9 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:37 X11R6
drwxrwx---+  6 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:38 ssl
drwxrwx---+  3 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:40 man
drwxrwx---+  4 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:40 sbin
drwxrwx---+ 39 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 27 16:46 include
drwxrwx---+ 49 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 28 10:30 share
drwxrwx---+ 36 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 28 10:30 lib
drwxrwx---+  2 jcklose mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 28 13:48 bin

Larry suggested reading the release announcement:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2008-11/msg00000.html

It discusses this.  The fact that you still have an X11R6 directory
doesn't mean that the newest version was not installed.

And, if you really require further help, then please don't ignore the
given advice and read this page: http://cygwin.com/problems.html .
