I just wanted to let you know about a bug that I have come across, trying to install two packages containing files with odd names:
tcl-8.5.6-2: /usr/share/man/mann/pkg::create.n /usr/share/man/mann/platform::shell.n libsilc-doc-1.1.9-1: /usr/share/doc/silc-toolkit/toolkit/silcbuffmt-SILC_STR_*_CHAR.html (and a half dozen other nearly identically named files that have a "*" in their name.) When setup tries to extract the files containing the "*" and the "::", it throws an error, saying that the file is in use and that I should close any cygwin processes that are open. (None are, and yes I did check with the handle search function in ProcExplorer, among other checks.) When I edit the tar.gz files to change these characters to "_", then everything is fine. (FYI, I'm using the setup just before 1.7.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Cygwin-ports-general mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cygwin-ports-general
