No problem, but this time it's your turn :-) This takes way to long.
Please check in if nobody else objects.
One thing I didn't notice earlier about either this patch or your original
one is that you removed the second cd $(topdir) from prep(). I know it
looks superfluous, but it's there for a reason (so that unpack() can
change directory with impunity -- yes, this happened to me before).
Applied, with that one change removed. Thanks for the patch. I'll
address the above *.LOG issue shortly.

New pstoedit trial packages and a problem
Package reviewers: New trial packages for pstoedit, linking to the recently uploaded plotutils package, are on my server: ftp://antiskid.homelinux.net/pub/pstoedit/pstoedit-3.42-1-src.tar.bz2 ftp://antiskid.homelinux.net/pub/pstoedit/pstoedit-3.42-1.tar.bz2 ftp://antiskid.homelinux.net/pub/pstoedit/setup.hint ftp://antiskid.homelinux.net/pub/pstoedit/pstoedit-devel/pstoedit-devel-3.42-1.tar.bz2 ftp://antiskid.homelinux.net/pub/pstoedit/pstoedit-devel/setup.hint There is a problem though: linking to the newly uploaded libEMF package created a broken executable, so this is disabled in the trial packages above. When pstoedit is configured with the flag --with-emf, it creates the dll file /usr/lib/pstoedit/cygp2edrvwmf-0.dll. This seems to be a problematic dll, which causes pstoedit.exe to fail silently on any invocation. The odd thing is, this remains the case, even if pstoedit is reconfigured --without-emf and recompiled and reinstalled, as long as the problematic cygp2edrvwmf-0.dll remains on the system. Early in the development cycle, I did install and link to libEMF, successfully, using a local build of libEMF. So I don't know what the problem is now, except it obviously isn't working with the newly uploaded libEMF package. If someone [Dr. Zell?] could help me figure out what the issue is and fix it quickly, I'd appreciate the help. Otherwise I recommend we upload this trial packaging (assuming it otherwise passes inspection), and use the available functionality while I try to troubleshoot the libEMF problem. Thanks, jrp

For case A, this would visually indicate that it isn't an official mirror, and you use it at your own risk. For case B, what you'd see is that suddenly your default mirror changes color. Then if they complain on the mailing list, the first question would be did your mirror turn red? (to pick a random color). This could be done either along with Chris's don't bug me again dialog box, or without it. One problem with the dialog box alone is that someone could click the don't bug me box without really thinking about the message. Then 6 months later when their out-of-date mirror starts causing serious problems for them, they've forgotten about the choice they made, and post to the list. Having a continuing indication that they're using a nonstandard mirror would ameliorate this. If you do add Chris's dialog box, it needs to be a per-connection setting. The user's willingness to tolerate one nonstandard mirror doesn't imply that they don't care about this status for all of them. I can imagine a person having one nonstandard mirror who also uses other official mirrors from time to time for various purposes. The most common case would be having a package-specific mirror, plus a favorite mirror for Cygwin itself. If their favorite official Cygwin mirror gets dropped from the list, setup.exe should still tell them about it, even though they once told it to ignore another nonstandard mirror.

There can be at most only one mirror URL in the dialog that is not official: the one that the user has just typed in, or the one that was used the last time setup was run. Since that URL is selected by default, it's already in a different color than the rest. But I do see your point. I'm now thinking maybe setup could do something similar -- I'm thinking an asterisk after the name (with dialog text explaining its meaning), since using color becomes confusing when you also have the selected/not-selected color distinction.

I'm thinking an asterisk after the name (with dialog text explaining its meaning), since using color becomes confusing when you also have the selected/not-selected color distinction. If the warning color were red, you could make the selected color white on red instead of the Windows default. The best reason I can think of to avoid using color is that you'd probably have to write a custom paint routine. That's a bit of work. If you choose this path, something more obvious than an asterisk would be better. For instance, prefix it with NON-OFFICIAL: .

Re: Security advisory: uw-imap - 3 attachments
uw-imap (whose maintainer, AFAICS, has yet to respond to reply to
Corinna's message) is vulnerable to remote overflow of a buffer in the
IMAP server leading to execution of arbitrary code.
The only solution is to upgrade to 2004g (current Cygwin release is
2002e!).
I built 2004g and it nearly builds ootb.
The only patch necessary is for CRAM-MD5 auth. This patch is well known
and has been used for the 2002e version also. All other patches that
have been necessary for 2002e have already been integrated in the 2004g
release.
I could not post to the cygwin applications list via gmane, so I reply
to the main list. Apologies if this not the way it should be done.
I´d be glad to assist the maintainer in building a 2004g package for
cygwin.
I´m facing two minor issues:
- the first is described here in detail:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-11/msg01137.html
it has always been there for me (even with the 2002e package), so I
don´t think it is a new problem
- second, when I use dmail from .procmailrc, it causes a stackdump
at the end of the delivery process. But all logs are written fine and
all mail gets delivered, so it is more a cosmetic thing (IMHO)
Attached you find 3 patches:
1) imap-2004c1.cram-md5-auth.patch
It is necessary for cram-md5 to work.
2) imap-2004c1.mbx-by-default.patch (optional)
Local mailboxes are created in MBX format by default, which allows
simultanous rw access by multiple sessions. New mail has to be spooled
to a mbox format mailbox in /var/spool/mail/user, but is transfered to
~/Mail/INBOX by UW-IMAP immediately.
3) imap-2004c1.mailsubdir-Mail.patch (optional)
Mail is stored in the users ~/Mail folder.
The last two patches make uw-imap behave more compliant to modern UNIX
standards and more capable. These are not real patches, but
configuration options for uw-imap. If you migrate from an older version
of uw-imap that has been configured differently, you have to move the
mailbox files to the new folder localtions.
Regards,
Christian

This is called 'versioned' layout.
In my build scripts I would still like to be able to specify
-lboost_date_time and not -lboost_date_time-gcc-mt-s. Is it the
intention of the maintainer of the cygwin boost package that I should
make a symbolic link (ln -s libboost_date_time.a
libboost_date_time-gcc-mt-s.a) to the library that I want to use?
You can either add the links or you can have something like
BOOST_SUFFIX=-gcc-mt-s and use -lboost_date_time${BOOST_SUFFIX}.
Ok. I didn't think of using a suffix like you suggest. It looks nice and
I am going to use it in my build scripts.
Another question regarding the cygwin boost package is why the test
libraries are missing?
Because its build is broken on Cygwin.
Have the test libraries worked in any previous version of boost for
Cygwin? If so, is there any way that I can install that version instead?
I don't know. The current Boost package is the only Boost Cygwin package
so far. You could try to compile some older Boost than 1.33.0 from sources.

Actually, I tried to compile the test libraries of boost 1.33 myself like this: bjam -sTOOLS=gcc --with-test stage And that command produced the test libraries for me. The only difference from your libraries was that their extension was .lib instead of .a. How did you manage to get .a libraries? Is there any difference between .a and .lib in Cygwin? When I changed the extension of boost_unit_test_framework to .a and compiled and linked my test with -lboost_unit_test_framework I got a working binary. However, I would like to be able to build my project with a vanilla installation of Cygwin. This would make it easier for me to share my project with other people since they would only have to install the correct versions (preferable the latest) of the Cygwin packages to be able to build it. In what way is the test libraries broken under Cygwin? :.:: mattias -- 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/

Apologies if this not the way it should be done. I don't know why cygwin-apps is registered as a one-way only list on gmane, but I have also found it is annoying that you can't post there through gmane. It would take permission from the list owner for gmane to change the policy on their mirroring of the list (at least gmane still respects the subscriber-only posting rules). However, gmane also has the annoying property of not allowing file attachments, so you really should be using a proper email client and not gmane when trying to send attachments. As for you comments about cygwin applications, they really do belong on cygwin-apps; I've changed the reply-to accordingly. Also, attachments are better received if they are MIME attachments, not uuencoded inline; and with a text MIME type if they really are text based (the number of mail clients out there that blindly assume every attachment should be marked application/octet-stream is unfortunate).

mount -m
Anything else?
/etc/passwd, /etc/group?
Plus a local /tmp and /var/tmp... Also, if the machines sharing the drive
have different OSs, the /etc/{hosts,networks,protocols,services} symlinks
will be broken. You're probably better off with a local /etc as well,
with symlinks to a shared /etc for stuff that needs sharing (e.g.,
/etc/profile).
One more thing: unless the shared drive has the same access path (i.e.,
drive letter) on all machines, you may want to adapt /cygwin.bat.

Basically, the Cygwin path conversion code stops when it encounters a non-existent directory, and only returns the part of the path it's converted so far. Since in your case the invalid directory comes first, you get an empty PATH. A patch to turn off this behavior altogether is reasonably simple, but I'm not sure it'll be accepted. The main question is whether this behavior is desired. Corinna or Chris, care to comment? This should be solved in current CVS (the general problem with non-existant directories, not the case_check stuff). Incidentally, that fix also solves the check_case problem I reported, since, due to the wrong case, Cygwin simply thought that the directory was non-existent.

Sleep not terminating
I'm encountering a weird problem with sleep. If I run $ while true; do sleep 120; done [1] 6780 $ kill %1 the bash process (6780) and its child sleep process are both killed. However, if I kill the bash process using the pid, the child sleep process is not killed. $ while true; do sleep 120; done [1] 5528 $ kill 5528 $ ps -ef | grep sleep drothe6532 1 0 12:26:41 /bin/sleep I guess this problem has been around for a while. I'm seeing it with the latest snapshot and also with 1.5.18, with the latest bash and the test bash. -- David Rothenbergerspammer? - [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG/PGP: 0x7F67E734, C233 365A 25EF 2C5F C8E1 43DF B44F BA26 7F67 E734 (null cookie; hope that's ok) -- 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/

In the first case, by specifying %1, you're killing the process group, which consists of the bash process and the sleep process. In the second case, by specifying the bash pid, you're killing only the bash process. Since bash apparently doesn't have any special kill my subprocess behavior, I wouldn't expect sleep to go away. cgf -- 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/
problems with top using Cygwin ssh to Debian 31r0a
Cygwin: When I use Cygwin to ssh into a Debian 3.1 stable (Sarge) machine and run top, the newlines seem to be double-expanded -- e.g. there is a blank line between each line of information. This problem does not occur when I ssh into a Debian 3.0 stable (Woody) machine. This problem does not occur on either Debian machine if I use Putty. Any suggestions?
