Setup still shows coreutils 9.1 as test, but it should *NOT* be
installed by anyone.
Setup now also shows coreutils 9.0 in test, and it can and should be
installed by anyone who experienced issues with coreutils 9.1.
I ran coreutils 9.0 for a couple of weeks in my installs before
releasing it for testing, and am still running it now, with no apparent
issues.
As coreutils is a Base package, in Setup, select View Up To Date, Search
for coreutils, New column shows Keep, select the combo box dropdown
menu, which shows selections:
Uninstall
Skip [greyed out]
8.26-2
✔ Keep [checked]
Reinstall
9.0-1 (Test)
9.1-1 (Test)
you can select 9.0 which will install the suggested test release when
Setup is run.
*NO* Cygwin processes can be running when Setup is running, to ensure
programs can be replaced without restarting Windows or rerunning Setup.
