Updated: ORBit2-2.12.3-1, ORBit2-devel-2.12.3-1, libIDL2-0.8.6-1


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution:

*** ORBit2-2.12.3-1
*** ORBit-devel-2.12.3-1
*** libIDL2-0.8.6-1

ORBit is a high-performance CORBA (Common Object Request Broker
Architecture) ORB (object request broker). It allows programs to send
requests and receive replies from other programs, regardless of the
locations of the two programs. CORBA is an architecture that enables
communication between program objects, regardless of the programming
language they are written in or the operating system they run on.

libIDL is a library licensed under the GNU LGPL for creating trees of
CORBA Interface Definition Language (IDL) files, which is a
specification for defining portable interfaces.  libIDL was initially
written for ORBit (the ORB from the GNOME project, and the primary
means of libIDL distribution).  However, the functionality was
designed to be as reusable and portable as possible.

These are updates for GNOME 2.10.

*** IMPORTANT for those using these packages:

The package previously named libIDL (0.8.x) has been renamed libIDL2, in
order to make space for this branch of libIDL 0.6.  Both versions can be
installed in parallel, but because of the rename, the following is required:

1) If you first update after reading this, then libIDL2 will be pulled
in automatically as a ORBit2 dependency, and libIDL will be "downgraded"
to 0.6.8-2.  THIS IS THE CORRECT BEHAVIOR.  If you don't want anything
from GNOME 1.4, you may choose to uninstall libIDL (and skip glib, which
is a dependency).

2) If you have already updated and allowed setup.exe to "downgrade"
libIDL, but you don't want GNOME 1.4, then run setup.exe again and
uninstall libIDL and glib.

3) If you have already updated, but did NOT allow setup.exe to
"downgrade" libIDL, then you have a libIDL-0.8.x and libIDL2-0.8.6.
THIS IS A PROBLEM!  To fix this, run setup.exe again, and either allow
libIDL to be "downgraded" -- or you can uninstall if you don't want
GNOME 1.4, together with glib -- *and* reinstall libIDL2.
