GNU Utilities for Win32 dead?
urlwolf:
Just checked the download links from the main page:
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
And they seem not to be working.
Personally, I love them, and would hate to see them go. The alternative is to install a whole emulation layer (cygwin) and that's too heavy/too much trouble for me at least...
mwb1100:
It looks like they've moved the downloads to the more standard SourceForge-style download page:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9328&package_id=9393&release_id=490307
f0dder:
Thanks for that, mwb1100!
Project does seem a bit dead though, haven't been updated for a while. But the tools work well enough :)

The move seems to have been made just a few days ago. Maybe some additional activity is ahead.
However, the programs are a pretty mature bunch of tools; I think that accounts for the lack of activity. As you say, the tools work well enough, so what's to do?
