Re: Requesting vote / review for submitted package
I would appreciate further voting and/or reviewing to get this editor which works fine under cygwin into the distribution. As others have noted, unfortunately the best way is to bug the list. I'm afraid that personally I am using Linux more and more and so doing fewer reviews, but I have a few minutes this morning so I'll check it out.
Re: Requesting vote / review for submitted package
I would appreciate further voting and/or reviewing to get this editor
which works fine under cygwin into the distribution.
OK this is a +1 vote and it does indeed work fine. However, there are
a couple of packaging issues.
*you have the files named mined-2000.9{,-src}.tar.bz2 while Cygwin
packages have the naming scheme foo-version-release.tar.bz2. Since
this is the first Cygwin release, it should be
mined-2000.9-1{,-src}.tar.bz2.
*there should be a /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/mined.README for any
Cygwin-specific issues (does it require CYGWIN=tty? does it work
better in rxvt than console?) and build instructions (such as the fact
that it requires gcc, make, and ncurses-devel to build); official
website and contact info wouldn't be bad to put in either
*you have a (plain text?) file /usr/share/info/mined.hlp and I'm not
sure if this is a problem. I guess the update-info script only looks
for .info files, but it would probably be better to put it in
something like /usr/share/mined/mined.hlp or
/usr/share/mined/guide.hlp so it doesn't get lost in all the noise.
*the source doesn't have any Cygwin-specific README or patches but
builds fine so that's OK as long as you put build instructions in
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/mined.README
*the source doesn't actually create the Cygwin .tar.bz2 package, this
isn't a requirement but I believe it's relatively straightforward with
the generic-build-script
Thanks for the package and I think once these minor issues are cleared
up it is ready to go. And, as I believe cfg once said, there can never
be enough editors in the Cygwin distro. (Not to mention CJK capable
ones.)

Re: startx hangs on WinXP - Resolution
Jim, IIRC, you only need the /tmp to be binary-mounted (and the fonts directory, but that mount is forced to be binary by the font packages postinstall scripts). Instead of reinstalling everything with UNIX line endings, you could have simply issued a mount -f -b c:/cygwin/tmp /tmp (provided your Cygwin root is in c:/cygwin). There were two or three threads on this in the past few days -- I'm surprised it hasn't come up in your thread as well. Just FYI. Igor On Fri, 11 Jun 2004, Jim Duda wrote: I figured out my problem.

RE: Tivoli
You are right that that is what is described there - I do not know why this is not a problem with the tivoli dll's (they may be so old that they do not use the shared memory segment ?) - but is not a problem in this specific case. I am not happy with the statement in the faq - but me gut feeling is that people that work with both tivoli and cygwin normally knows a lot more than normal users do. The problem ofcourse can be where users monitored via tivoli software includes their non-tivoli cygwin1.dll in the path in such a way that this interferes with the tivoli software utilities - but I am not sure this is really a problem either (I have not tested it).

windows XP SP1, nice 2.0.15 (sh-utuils 2.0.15.4)
I don't know about 'nice', but Windows actually has 32 priority levels.
Priority 0 is reserved for the system idle process, and 16-31 are
reserved for real-time processes. The remaining range 1-15 are the
regular (dynamic) priorities that most processes run with. In reality
you don't set the priority directly this way, rather you choose a
priority class (realtime, high, normal, idle; corresponding to 24, 13,
8, 4) and then a modifier (highest, above normal, normal, below normal,
lowest; corresponding to +2, +1, 0, -1, -2).
Thus the priorities you see in taskman consist of the four base classes,
and the +2 and -2 variants of 'normal', thus: idle (4), below normal
(6), normal (8), above normal (10), high (13), and realtime (24).

That won't help much, though, since sending private mail to the maintainer is usually a no-no, and the maintainers are all supposed to read this list anyway. Given that the maintainer of texinfo is CGF, I'm sure that if you build a proper texinfo-4.7 Cygwin package and offer to maintain it (on cygwin-apps), he'll at least thoughtfully consider it. Even if he decides to keep the maintainership, you'll have done most of the work in preparing a new release for him, which is bound to help. Make sure to forward port any Cygwin-specific patches from texinfo-4.2 source package (if necessary).

Running ssh from procmail
I have a strange problem that I'm hoping someone can help me with. I've
searched the archives and this may be related to some socket difficulties
people have had on dual processor systems, but I dunno.
I have a winxp dual xeon system in my office with an up-to-date cygwin
installation as of today that cygchecks ok.
I use a somewhat wierd mechanism to penetrate my office firewall from my
home computer, since Mac OSX doesn't support the vpn server my company uses
(gack!). I run fetchmail/procmail to check mail at the office, and based on
a certain pattern it runs a script that runs ssh to my home system at a
fixed IP doing port forwarding, and running sleep for a minute. I send
myself mail, wait a little, then connect my remote desktop client to the
forwarded port. Ssh is then configured to hang around until the connection
dies.
This had been working fine for a while. I hadn't used it for a bit, maybe in
a month or two, in the meantime upgrading cygwin a couple of times at the
office. Now when I try I get various forms of wierdness.
If I run ssh -l xyz verklempt (my home system, in /etc/hosts) it works fine.
If I start bash and run the tohome.sh script it connects fine.
If I send myself the telltale email I get
ssh: verklempt: no address associated with name
Odd, since it knows what verklempt is when run on the command line. OK, I
replace the address with the fixed IP in the script. I get:
socket: Operation not permitted
ssh: connect to host #.#.#.# port 22: Operation not permitted
Fetchmailrc is (some names changed to protect the innocent)
poll xyz.com protocol pop3 username abc keep mda /usr/bin/procmail -d %T
Procmailrc is
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/pkg/mail/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/usr/mail
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/INBOX.spool
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/procmail.logfile
VERBOSE=on
LOGABSTRACT=all
export PATH
:0:
* ^Subject: blahblahblah
| /usr/bin/bash -x $HOME/tohome.sh
...
tohome.sh contains
(echo ${LOGNAME} : ${SHELL} : Open connection at `date` ;
/usr/bin/ssh -g -n -e none -R #:localhost:# -l abc $HOMEADDR sleep 180 ;
echo Connection closed at `date`) /tmp/openconnect.ssh 21
Any help someone can provide would be much appreciated...I'm not sure where
to start. I've looked at the procmail/fetchmail man pages concerning the
process environment of forked processes but can't find anything to account
for this. Moreover since it used to work I suspect its a bug that has been
introduced not too long ago.
Thanks,
Peter

__getreent undefined on linux app build
I have tried to build a linux app (actually a app and a shared library) that was made for linux and works there under cygwin. Was hoping for minimal changes. First off, it seemed that I had to tell the linker the c library name with -lc. That got rid of a ton of undefined references. However, it still has undefined reference to __getreent is every file when linking the shared library. From reading this list, I see that __getreent comes from the cygwin1.dll at run time. I had more than cywwin1.dll on my system from misc apps and renamed them and rebooted. Still get the link error. I assume you can build a shared library (the docs. only seem to talk about dll's) and that a shared library can call a function in the cywin dll. Someone also suggested using the latest snapshot to fix this type of problem. The other day when I tried to get a new app with setup.exe it automatically loaded the latest gcc. Here is my uname -a.

At 02:58 PM 6/11/2004, you wrote: I have tried to build a linux app (actually a app and a shared library) that was made for linux and works there under cygwin. Was hoping for minimal changes. First off, it seemed that I had to tell the linker the c library name with -lc. That got rid of a ton of undefined references. However, it still has undefined reference to __getreent is every file when linking the shared library. From reading this list, I see that __getreent comes from the cygwin1.dll at run time. I had more than cywwin1.dll on my system from misc apps and renamed them and rebooted. Still get the link error. I assume you can build a shared library (the docs. only seem to talk about dll's) and that a shared library can call a function in the cywin dll. Someone also suggested using the latest snapshot to fix this type of problem. The other day when I tried to get a new app with setup.exe it automatically loaded the latest gcc. Here is my uname -a. If cygcheck -srv is needed, let me know. Yes, it's needed. If upgrading via setup didn't solve the problem, you're missing something or still have a local conflict. The cygcheck will give at least some basic diagnostics. Output from what you're doing would also be helpful. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

Problem creating files on network drives with cygwin 1.5.10-3 and tar
After upgrading to 1.5.10, I'm seem to be having a problem creating files on network drives using tar. For quite a while now (a couple of years, at least), I've been using tar to back up several directories to a network share, and had no problems up through version 1.5.9. However, with 1.5.10-3, I get the message tar: /cygdrive/m/test.tar: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now when I issue the command tar -cf /cygdrive/m/test.tar test where test is a directory with a few files in it. Now, it doesn't appear to be a permission problem as I can cd to /cygdrive/m and create files with touch or vim, delete files, copy files, etc. The network drives are hosted by Windows servers running either NT or 2K. I tried removing smbntsec from the CYGWIN env var, but that made no difference. I also tried the latest snapshot with the same results. Reverting to 1.5.9, however, fixes the problem. I did try googling the mailing list archives, but most of what I found was related to accessing network shares after sshing to a remote node. It appears to me that this might be related to http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-06/msg00014.html but I wasn't sure so I started a new thread. Cygcheck output attached.

Updated Cygwin Package: postgresql-7.4.2-1
New News: === I have updated the version of PostgreSQL to 7.4.2-1. The tarballs should be available on a Cygwin mirror near you shortly. The following are the notable changes since the previous release: o build against cygserver instead of cygipc o upgrade to PostgreSQL 7.4.2 Old News: === PostgreSQL is an open-source, Object-Relational DBMS. If interested, see the PostgreSQL web site for more details: http://www.postgresql.org/ Please read the README file: /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.4.2.README since it covers requirements, installation, known issues, etc. To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. Note that we have recently stopped downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Germany, ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is usually pretty good. In the UK, http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date within 48 hours. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror. The setup.exe program will figure out what needs to be updated on your system and will install newer packages automatically. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I would appreciate if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general.

Updated Cygwin Package: python-2.3.4-1
New News: === I have updated the version of Python to 2.3.4-1. The tarballs should be available on a Cygwin mirror near you shortly. The following is the only notable change since the previous release: o upgrade to Python 2.3.4 Old News: === Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. If interested, see the Python web site for more details: http://www.python.org/ Please read the README file: /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/python-2.3.4.README since it covers requirements, installation, known issues, etc. To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. Note that we have recently stopped downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Germany, ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is usually pretty good. In the UK, http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date within 48 hours. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror. The setup.exe program will figure out what needs to be updated on your system and will install newer packages automatically. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I would appreciate if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general.
