Hello H.Merijn,
H.M> Great. I'll continue off-list to get our goals in sync :) Hmm, why not continue in public (cygwin/perl5-porters lists)? (Blead-)Perl issues: ==================== >>> What's the stance of cygwin in threading? CGF>> We're for it! We have pretty extensive pthreads support. > FWIW I'm unable to build a threaded perl for at least since 1.3.14 And it was not possible before 1.3.14. Setup.exe: ========== Merijn, the discussion about setup.exe goes to cygwin-apps at cygwin.com (only open for subscribers), I CC'ed there with your requests and the new subject: > 2. I'd like to see some more options in the setup process: > - Never downgrade. At the moment, every time I run setup, it suggests to > replace perl-5.8.0 with 5.6.1, something I will never do, and I have to > check that time after time. [ This should include not downgrading exp. > marked packages ] > - Mark packages to never install. I for example realy hate 'info', so I do > not want to install the "Doc" package. > - Select the default view, not disabling the other two, but I always start > with the last. > - A forth view to show me the packages that are available, but not > installed, so I can see what's new. > - An option to see exp. as curr. so I don't have to run setup twice :) > - remember that I do *not* want a desktop icon or a menu entry. I've > assigned shortcut keys to cygwin, and I don't want to clutter the desktop More (Blead-)Perl issues: ========================= [smoke results snipped] I don't see bleadperl failing completely, there is one 'new' failure I didn't see before: Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ../lib/IPC/Open3.t 22 1 4.55% 22 [...] Was this smoke run done with the latest cygwin-snapshot? And if so, was it the same or was it worse before the snapshot? Gerrit -- =^..^=
