Certain versions of the FHS recommend putting formatted versions of /usr/.../share/man/[locale/]manx/page.x into /var/cache/man/.../[locale/]catx/page.x. The keyword FHS in man.conf will cause this behaviour and is now the default. Explicitly given catdirs override. See comments in the man.conf file. I would like to ask other package maintainers to remove /usr/.../share/catx directories from their packages, as man.conf can be edited by the user and will not be overwritten by the next version of the man package. !!

pre-PPL rundown
Things have been a little hectic lately, and I stopped the automatic PPL until I had a chance to review all of its information. I just finished my mini-audit and believe the PPL is accurate, though certainly very long. Package tcm (Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling) has been in the list since January of this year. It only received votes from two people, one being cgf (who voted twice). It has received a good to go from Charles Wilson, but I am not sure its layout has been approved. tcm is an X application, and Harold handles the X tree, so I will leave final authorization up to him. If he uploads it (or tells me to upload it outside of release/XFree86/) it will be removed from the PPL automatically. Packages ploticus (plots and graphs) and sgrep (SGML grep) are from September. They both need more votes and someone to provide a functionality review. I do not believe there are any other issues waiting, so once they have met these procedural obligations I can upload them. Package distcc (spread gcc builds across multiple machines) is from October, and has a number of minor problems that remain unaddressed. It also has not received a functionality review. Package libsmi (I believe it is related to SNMP), also from October, needs 3 likeminded individuals to agree it would be a good idea to distribute with Cygwin, and someone to review its functionality. Package otcl (Tcl hooks for object-oriented programming), also from October, is offered by the XFree86 maintainer, and is therefore vote-exempt. However, he has asked for a functionality review. All remaining packages are from November. Package tclcl (related to otcl) is also offered by the XFree86 maintainer and is waiting a functionality review. Packages rdesktop (an implementation of Remote Desktop Display), tzcode (related to timezone handling), cabextract (tar for .cab files), joe (a text editor), rxp (an XML parser), and gnuplot (seems to be competition for ploticus' spot) all need additional votes and functionality reviews. I have determined the information for the PPL can not be reliably extracted from the list archives unattended, but I will continue to use the new script to help automate pulls, auto-reviews, and uploads. If I appear to have have misstated (or missed) anything, please let me know. I will send out a PPL tomorrow (Wednesday) morning, then resume the normal Tuesday/Friday schedule either this Friday or next Tuesday.

Except, each time I press it, my arrow keys toggle between sending the correct ^[[A and the strange ^[[1;2A (for up; left, down and right have similar changes). Apparently, it's toggling the cursor keys into shifted state, because that's the shifted up arrow key. This only affects the arrow keys, and page up/page down (which are toggled into scrolling). It seems like there's a bug somewhere tracking the caps lock, since I seem to have correctly disabled caps lock for number keys, but not arrows. Cygwin/XFree uses raw scancodes and uses XKB for symbol translation. Your tweaking will most likely break this conversion. I declare such a modification as unsupported.

Its home page is at http://www-ra.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/SNNS/ I firstly tried using SNNS 4.2 binaries with latest Cygwin/X as X-server, but something wasn't working in the user interface (couldn't select some menu list entries), so I decided to get sources at http://www-ra.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/downloads/SNNS/SNNSv4.2.tar.gz and try recompile them. Beside a few #define missing (that I properly fixed) seemed that the configure script was running fine, infact I can run the application, and now all the menu lists do work, but... when loading even an example configuration file I get syntax errors in file, and after some clicks, trying opening other windows, crashes. Note that I already used successfully on Linux some years ago, so not new to program usage. And yes, I know that JavaNNS does exist... Any help or hint would be greatly appreciated.

Are you running Cygwin with binary mode mounts or did you change the default to text? Send in the output of the mount command run in a Cygwin bash shell. I would suspect that SNNS expects UNIX-style end-of-line characters and would thus be confused by DOS-style end-of-line characters. Poor coding could lead to a crash as well. Harold

Re: Alt key isn't Meta in Cygwin xterm (Norwegian keyboard)
Hans Dekker [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Change to es file:
key RALT { type[Group1]=TWO_LEVEL,
[ Mode_switch, Multi_key ] };
modifier_map Mod5 { RALT };
The no file looks like this:
key RALT { type[Group1]=TWO_LEVEL,
[ ISO_Level3_Shift, Multi_key ] };
modifier_map Mod5 { RALT };
But I'm not sure how this applies to the left Alt not being taken as
meta in xterm?
I'd guess it had something to do with keycaps rather than X keysym
mappings, since Alt works fine as Meta in Emacs...?

Re: Compiling SNNS (Stuttgart Neural Network Simulator) or usingv.4.2 binaries
Answering to Harold: my system is mounted in binary mode. Anyway that doesn't seem to be the cause for that crash: looks like that the first operation done in floating point (so I suspect) brings the application in an unstable state -- after reading the file that causes the syntax error I can still do other tasks in the user interface, for a while. I'm sorry to be so approximative about this issue: the program itself is quite large, to investigate. What I hoped was to find someone who did it already, to steal his/her experience on this... while maybe I will have to manage it myself, unless not switching to the Java version of SNNS. Thanks again for reading and helping. Lou

Re: Problem with WinXP, XF86, Caps lock, xterm and cursor keys
Alexander Gottwald [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Cygwin/XFree uses raw scancodes and uses XKB for symbol translation. Your tweaking will most likely break this conversion. I could understand that, if it were consistent. If Cygwin/XFree considered that key to still be caps lock, I could easily fix it with xmodmap. But it doesn't, xev sees it as control. Furthermore, why is it shifting arrow keys and page up/down but not anything else? Finally, why is caps lock affecting those keys at all? I haven't seen that on XFree86 on Linux, nor on any other X server I've tried. Personally, I suspect that some piece of code is handling things differently than the rest, so even the usual methods of fixing things (ie, xresources, xmodmap) may not fix things. (But I'll be giving it a try, since it's easy.) I declare such a modification as unsupported. You may still ask for pointers to documentation I'll take you up on that offer. Could you point me to some info on how Cygwin/XFree86 gets those scancodes and runs the conversion? Maybe I could put together a variant XKB layout without caps lock -- Alan Shutko [EMAIL PROTECTED] - I am the rocks. St. Vidicon of Cathode, pray for us!

in xemacs or emacs the highlight disappeared, problems related to clipboard
Dear All, I use cygwin/Xserver on my win2000 as multiwindow mode. It is a great work. I have two problems. 1. )It is good to copy between windows and X programs, so I start the Xserver with the parameter '-clipborad'. When press the left button of mouse to highlight a region and release the button the highlight disappeared automatically. And in the xemacs(emacs)mini window shows a message mark set. The normal response should keep the highligh. Start the Xserver without the parameter '-clipboard', xemacs works normally. 2.)I have a dictionary program to pick up the words in the sreen. After I start local emacs in the cygwin shell , the program can't pick up any word.. I thought it was the clipboard 's bug, wasn't it? Thank you very much, Hong

[Patch]: Create Global Privilege
This patch will stop the CreateFileMapping, Win32 error 5. Terminating.
complaints.
It changes shared_name() to avoid setting the Global\ prefix on file mappings
when the Create Global Object privilege may be required but the user doesn't
have it.
Note that when running from the console or as a service, the names are
looked up
in the global name space by default (with or without privilege), thus it
doesn't
matter if the prefix is Global\ or .
In other words, there is no need to determine if the user is running from
Terminal Services.
As a side effect, the cygheap must be initialized earlier in the startup
sequence because it is needed for CloseHandle when debugging is enabled
(thus the changes in memory_init and shared_info::initialize).
I don't have access to Terminal Services to test the patch, but Fabrice
Larribe
reports that it works fine on a system where he needed, but couldn't get, the
privilege.

OK, I will be out of town for a few days, so it would be nice if Corinna could apply it as well. Regarding your remark, I had thought of putting prefix on the cygheap, but that looked like overkill (could be done some day, together with cygwin_user_h and a few others). This is what I said: Couldn't you just initialize prefix prior to calling shared_name? I wasn't saying that it should be on the cygheap or that it should be only initialized once per cygwin session. I was saying that it could be calculated once per program, prior to calling shared_name, avoiding the test entirely. cgf

Tix within Python on Cygwin - still not working
Dear Cygwin development community,
up to now I did not see a working Tix installation within Python on Cygwin.
cygcheck -s
replies with following for python and tcltk:
python 2.3.2-1
tcltk 20030901-1
(I did not find a tix package and a tix library seems to be missing)
My interactive test run produced following output
(comment lines are inserted with ### prefix):
$ python
Python 2.3.2 (#1, Oct 9 2003, 12:03:29)
[GCC 3.3.1 (cygming special)] on cygwin
Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information.
import Tkinter
### is working fine
import Tix
### up to here it still seems to be working !!!
t=Tix.Tk()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File stdin, line 1, in ?
File /usr/lib/python2.3/lib-tk/Tix.py, line 210, in __init__
self.tk.eval('package require Tix')
_tkinter.TclError: can't find package Tix
### Here a first instance of a Tix object is tried to be created.
### Under normal conditions a window should pop up and
### the prompt should reappear without further error messages
I would be thankful to obtain Python with working Tix support
especially to use the HList Class for constructing hierarchical list GUIs.
For example this would be handy to click through the /proc hierarchy.
Many thanks

Strategy for Finding Cygwin/Unix info

Re: Regtool Recursive Option?
Alan-- Is it possible to use the Cygwin regtool recursively? I would like to search for a term (i.e. My Documents) throughout the registry or at least within a subkey. It looks like this can be done by doing a recursive grep on /proc/registry, but this generates a lot of errors such as No such file or directory and File or path name too long. You get the No such file or directory when you try to retrieve a value that doesn't exist. This is typically encountered when you use a value path (i.e., a terminal node in the tree). From the man page: Options for 'list' Action: -k, --keys print only KEYS This tells regtool to give you only the list of keys in the node. For example: $ # Here's a value $ regtool get '\user\software\Microsoft\Clock\iFormat' 1 $ # Getting a value is bad... $ regtool list '\user\software\Microsoft\Clock\iFormat' Error (2): The system cannot find the file specified. $ # But a regular list command will return it... $ regtool list '\user\software\Microsoft\Clock' iFormat $ # So tell regtool to list only other keys [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/Proj/RiskMgt/ACH $ regtool -k list '\user\software\Microsoft\Clock' $ --marco -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

It'd be nice if you could post the errors or any links to e-mails. Remember that I am talking about SDL, SDL-mixer, and SDL-image, as most programs that use one use all 3 (but it would not be difficult to package them as 3 seperate packages) As i now have the headers i cannot post the errors. At this point i have decided that I should try to make sdl linked with cygwin1.dll, this should be possible without too much work, but using mingw sounds like it is at least slightly more common. If i can make the lib like that i will have to see if i can find anybody who can maintain the packages. I would love to have a Cygwin linked SDL and am willing to maintain it if you are prepared to package it in the first place (along with SDL-mixer and SDL-image).

apt-listchanges for cygwin setup?
One of the tools that I have really come to appreciate when using Debian is the apt-listchanges script which can run as part of apt-get upgrade. For those unfamiliar, it displays the recent changelog entries for packages about to be upgraded and gives the user the option to continue with the upgrade or cancel it. I have found it interesting to read about what bugs were fixed and I occasionally choose not to upgrade depending on what is written in the changelog. I think it would be very cool if there was something like that that could run as part of the Cygwin setup so one could pick and choose packages to upgrade depending on what the changelogs say were fixed or modified. Also, is anyone aware of a console mode version of setup? Call me old fashioned, but I generally prefer console applications. :-) Andrew -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

It would be a real nice feature for us to just add that service option and have it work without the distracting console window. So, I thought I'd ping about the known issues before wasting more hours trying to get it working. In the end, I am expecting to contribute a patch to inetd allowing this if it is reasonably possible. So, I'm not looking for a handout, just a jumping off point. Thanks. /usr/X11R6/bin/run.exe Also http://neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/run/. Like I stated above, I had tried run.exe. But, I think its auto backgrounding fooled both me and the service manager into thinking it didn't work. Maybe adding a -no-background, or some such option, to run.exe would fix this. So, the only way to do this is via special arguments to CreateProcess, or to compile with -mwindows? Oops, forgot to add that this would probably be more useful as a patch to cygrunsrv (unless you mean running inetd --install-as-service). Well, yes and yes. At the time, I did not have inetd source, so I was unsure exactly how to emulate inetd --install-as-service via cygrunsrv. Incidentally, why does inetd not use cygrunsrv? Just history, I guess. Anyway, I know there has been lots of work around getting windows console output from net, etc. to show up in an rlogin, telnet, ssh, etc. window. Would hiding the console mess this up? Also, when if ever is the console window desireable for inetd, cygrunsrv spawned stuff, etc.? Maybe hiding should be the default if I figure out how.

Cannot 'login' or 'ssh' after domain controller demotion
I have a problem where the 'login' command (and all other commands that require password authentication such as ssh) no longer accept my password. Here are the steps I took to create this problem: 1. I started with a Windows 2000 Server acting as a domain controller with cygwin and ssh server working fine. 2. I demoted the Windows 2000 Server back to a standard server (not domain controller) using dcpromo. 3. At this point, the ssh server refused to accept any type of authentication. 4. I rebooted and completely removed the cygwin installation directory, then downloaded the latest version from www.cygwin.com (ver 1.5.5-1) 5. I reinstalled cygwin and the ssh server. 6. At this point, the server will not accept password authentication, and the login command also fails: $ login login: administrator Password: Login incorrect login: $ ssh localhost [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Permission denied, please try again. [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Things I have tried to fix the problem: 1. Executed mkpasswd -l /etc/password 2. Reset the administrator password using Windows computer manager 3. Used passwd to change the administrator password within cygwin 4. Created a new user mcarr, ran mkpasswd again, tried to log in as mcarr At first I thought that there were old domain users laying around the system causing cygwin to get confused about what the administrator username meant. However, the /etc/password file appears to be correct and I removed all the old profiles. Are there any special rules regarding cygwin that need to be followed when demoting a Windows 2000 domain controller? I know that demoting a domain controller leaves a lot of strange security settings laying around the system (unknown users, etc). Is there perhaps a file that cygwin is trying to access but doesn't have access to?

BC If I specify MANPAGER=more, the sequences are interpreted as BC expected. BC The problem seems to be with 'less'. It appears less needs to be BC aliased to 'less -r' for this behavior to go away. Things are OK BC with man if I set MANPAGER='less -r'. Or this: export LESS=R BC Anyone got a spare clue? Any idea why the default installation of BC 'man' and 'less' are behaving this way after a Monday install, BC when all was fine last Friday? This problem exists with 'standard' perldoc output a little longer now, about a year or two. Using less -r or export LESS=R does the trick. It was already discussed here and elsewhere.

Well, this wasn't happening on a full Friday install, and it started happening on a full Monday install. On completely different systems, both of which had a fresh install of Win2K. So this behavior is due to a VERY recent change to the cygwin install. -BobC -Original Message- From: Gerrit P.

Any idea why the default installation of BC 'man' and 'less' are behaving this way after a Monday install, BC when all was fine last Friday? This problem exists with 'standard' perldoc output a little longer now, about a year or two. Using less -r or export LESS=R does the trick. It was already discussed here and elsewhere. I used to patch the perl sources to use text mode for the perldoc output as it is done on Windows too, but I don't include the patch anymore. Maybe an update of less and the underlying tools would help here more than to fix the symptoms? -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen Gerrit P.

RE: Patch and directions for compiling GNU screen 3.9.15 on cygwi n
From: Christopher Faylor Wow, that was *it*? It seems like a pretty simple patch if this really gets things working. Can I entice you into being the package maintainer for screen? There's a gold star in it for you!

Diff for generic readme and generic-build script to automatically generate pkg data and file listings
All,
Was wondering if this patch got dropped, or is it on a todo list?

Igor,
New patch - basically I store the /usr/bin/basename of the Readme file
variable == /tmp/%PKG%.README
Then I do an effective mv -f /tmp/%PKG%.README
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/%PKG%.README operation. Hopefully that mitigates all
of your concerns.

Subject: RE: Diff for generic readme and generic-build script
Alan,
The bug with 'sed -i' was that if it's unable to write to (or, rather,
creat) /tmp/sedGARBAGE, it assumes that the file exists and tries
another name (/tmp/sedMOREGARBAGE), and so on (in a loop). If /tmp is
not writeable at all, sed will loop indefinitely. As long as your script
checks only once (and redirection is usually better at handling existing
files, since you never claimed your script is reentrant), you should be
ok. You can simply replace ${ThePackageReadMeFile}.tmp in your patch
with /tmp/${ThePackageReadMeFile}.tmp (or even `mktemp -t
${ThePackageReadMeFile}.XX`, but you'd need to store that in a
variable).

Igor,
With this change I discovered a very subtle problem - the files listed
will
show two entries instead of one for the README:
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/%PKG%.README
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/%PKG%.README.tmp
This is due to the way where I redirected the file to.
There are two solutions:
1/ Put the redirected temp file under /tmp, i.e., /tmp/%PKG%.README and
then
doing a 'mv -f /tmp/%PKG%.README /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/%PKG%.README'. The
listing won't be affected since before and after will contain the same
file
name.
2/ Adjusting the find command to filter-out the
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/%PKG%.README.tmp file in its listing.
Which solution would be your preference? (Unless you have another one of
course ...)

Re: 1.5.5-1: cygpath bug
At 05:05 PM 11/25/2003, Masoud Mansouri-Samani you wrote: Hi, In a script I am using cygpath for Cygwin version (1.5.5-1). It seems to have a bug: $ cygpath --path --windows C:\foo C;C:\cygwin\home\masoud\\foo Which is clearly wrong. Actually no, it's not wrong. You told cygpath that the parameter you are passing is a path list and you told it to convert it to a Windows path. In that case, it's going to interpret the path list as a UNIX path and convert C and \foo to a Windows path list format. That looks like what you got to me and would be exactly what I'd expect, given the parameters you specified. Try removing the --path flag. I think you'll get what you want, though I don't know why you have to ask cygpath to convert a Windows path to a Windows path (i.e. a no-op). -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

Can't build Cscope 15.5 with ncurses 5.3-4 package - no ncurses.h!
I am interested in using the Cscope package with ViM on my Cygwin/WinXP installation. Unfortunately, the configure script (and subsequent make attempts) for Cscope 15.5 fails because the file 'ncurses.h' is absent. The ncurses package on my installation is version 5.3-4. I searched through the setup packages and found that the last version of ncurses to have 'ncurses.h' was version 5.2-8. Unfortunately, the choices available to me from setup.exe are only 5.3-1 and 5.3-4. I'd appreciate some advice on how to make this work, if at all possible. Where do I find version 5.2-8, and what co-requisite libraries must be installed to make Cscope function? ___ Frank P. Hart NC State University Dept. of Electrical and P.O.

CygUtils patch for last char repeat bug in lpr
Chuck,
I finally had a chance to track down the bug that a few people have reported
where lpr was repeating the last character of a file. One of those really
stupid, can't understand how I missed it before type coding errors. Anyway,
I've attached a patch file and a changlog.
