[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: readline-5.1-5, libreadline6-5.1-5
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 A new release of readline and libreadline6, 5.1-5, is available for use, replacing 5.1-4 as the current version. NEWS: = This is a minor bugfix release. It adds official upstream patches 3 (referencing freed memory) and 4 (incremental search mode prompt fix, inspired by the patch I was using in 5.1-4). DESCRIPTION: The readline library will read a line from the terminal and return it, allowing the user to edit the line with emacs or vi editing keys. It also allows a history feature, for editing previous entries, making command line interfaces easier-to-use and more intuitive. libreadline6 provides the .dlls needed for readline and history expansion for dynamic linking in other programs, including bash and gdb; it is required for a minimal cygwin installation. The 6 in libreadline6 distinguishes incompatible API changes made to the prior libreadline4 and libreadline5 libraries still available on the mirrors. readline provides the documentation and the static libraries required for static linking; you should only need it if you plan on compiling an application that links with -lreadline or -lhistory. UPDATE: === 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. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'libreadline6' from the 'Base' category (it should already be selected), or 'readline' in the 'Devel' category. Be sure that you do not have any cygwin programs running during the upgrade. DOWNLOAD: = Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html QUESTIONS: == If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. - -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin readline maintainer CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO: = To unsubscribe to the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.

Why only 1 cygwin1.dll?
Hi, Why can there be only 1 cygwin1.dll in the filesystem? Is this a limitation of the dll or is it just a problem with applications finding the wrong version of the cygwin1.dll when there are several? Or is it just that certain cygwin registry keys get initialised wrong if its not installed correctly? Does the cygwin1.dll have to be in /usr/bin or would it work in system32? I'm sure this must've been asked before but I couldn't find it in my search of the archives and users guide?

Re: Why only 1 cygwin1.dll?
Why can there be only 1 cygwin1.dll in the filesystem? Is this a limitation of the dll or is it just a problem with applications finding the wrong version of the cygwin1.dll when there are several? It is an intentional design decision of cygwin. In order to properly emulate POSIX semantics in a relatively efficient manner, the .dll opens a shared memory region when it is loaded. If there are multiple versions of different copies of the .dll trying to play with this shared memory region, you are practically guaranteed problems, so the .dll detects if the magic number of the shared region matches its expectations and forcefully exits before corrupting the other .dll's memory. Or is it just that certain cygwin registry keys get initialised wrong if its not installed correctly? The only use of the registry by cygwin is the mount table, and even that might change in the future. Don't go blaming the registry for this issue. Does the cygwin1.dll have to be in /usr/bin or would it work in system32? Technically, as long as there is only one cygwin1.dll in the Windows PATH (including the implicit search of the current directory before %PATH%), it doesn't matter where it lives. But you are playing with fire if you put it anywhere besides where setup.exe puts it, namely, /usr/bin. You are free to remount /usr/bin to live in some other location, if that helps, but this mailing list will NOT give any support for installations that put cygwin1.dll in non-standard locations other than to say delete your duplicate copies. We even have an acronym for it: http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#3PP I'm sure this must've been asked before but I couldn't find it in my search of the archives and users guide?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: monotone-0.25.2-1 (security fix)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Version 0.25.2-1 of monotone has been uploaded. monotone is a free distributed version control system. it provides a simple, single-file transactional version store, with fully disconnected operation and an efficient peer-to-peer synchronization protocol. it understands history-sensitive merging, lightweight branches, integrated code review and 3rd party testing. it uses cryptographic version naming and client-side RSA certificates. it has good internationalization support, has no external dependencies, runs on linux, solaris, OSX, windows, and other unixes, and is licensed under the GNU GPL. important security fix With versions of monotone prior to this release, a person with commit access could commit a malicious file with a name like mt/monotonerc. When anybody else then checked out this revision on a system with a case-folding filesystem -- usually, this means, on Windows or OS X -- then their monotone would run arbitrary Lua code stored in this file. The _only_ change in this release as compared to 0.25 is that the existing checks against files in MT are now extended to check for mt, Mt, and mT. A more detailed description of the upgrade process is on the official website: http://venge.net/monotone/NEWS.pre If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin@cygwin.com . *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.

More accurately, Gmane provides the contents of various mailing list
archives in a newsgroup format for those who prefer news over mail, or
otherwise choose not to subscribe to a mailing list. Posting to the
newsgroup requires a valid subscription to the respective mailing list,
but reading it requires only pointing your news client to
news.gmane.org. Also worth pointing out is the Gmane's archives go way
back, even for large values of way.
As for what's in those archives, reviewing the contents of
http://cygwin.com/acronyms/ beforehand might go a long way, as the 'wtf'
command provides no information on Cygwin-isms, or sheds any light on
the increasingly obscure hippo references.
command line help
man zsh
info zsh
pinfo zsh
whatis zsh
where zsh
The 'where' command is useful only if one generates the whereis database
by running /usr/sbin/makewhatis (something regrettably not done by any
of the installation routines). Also useful is 'apropos' (or 'man -k'),
as well as making regular use of 'which' and 'type' to help you keep
things straight.
[...]
What else?
Perhaps what's in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin, as well as various other
package-specific READMEs in /usr/share/doc? Then, of course, there's
all those *other* docs, tutorials, etc. typically not available from
anywhere but the source package.
FWIW, I'd like to think that expanding the contents of the Cygwin man
pages ('man cygwin' and 'man intro') to provide the above information as
well as offer an overview of Cygwin-specific tools, etc. would go a long
way.

There already is How do I just get everything? which sort of explains why setup downloads as much/little as it does. I couldn't see any FAQ for why /dev doesn't replace /cygdrive though. If you're saying that you this kind of question shouldn't be humoured, then maybe just: Q) I see the way you're doing things and I don't agree. Certainly I know more about this then you do. Please prove me wrong, although I doubt that you can. Go ahead, I dare you?

Does this sound like a reasonable solution to you (although I'll admit it's possible)? What's wrong with third parties simply installing any cygwin1.dll that they want to distribute (subject to the GPL of course) in a setup-compatible location and way? Then the only question is whether to install over any existing DLL or not. That's the same old issue that all installers have with any shared DLL. Using the accepted practice of replacing any existing old DLL with a newer one (by comparing version) should work fine. Removal of shared DLLs across apps is a common problem for any Windows app too. I don't believe the Cygwin distribution and any 3rd party distributor throws a new wrinkle into this. I've seen many an uninstaller ask me if I want to delete XXX.dll that could still be needed by other apps. Same rules apply. The worst case is that one cygwin1.dll gets left on a user's system after all apps using it have been uninstalled. That's par for the course with Windows. And at least if the DLL is always in the setup- compatible location, it would be easily found and used/overwritten by any subsequent installation, 3rd party or otherwise. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

Updated: readline-5.1-5, libreadline6-5.1-5
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 A new release of readline and libreadline6, 5.1-5, is available for use, replacing 5.1-4 as the current version. NEWS: = This is a minor bugfix release. It adds official upstream patches 3 (referencing freed memory) and 4 (incremental search mode prompt fix, inspired by the patch I was using in 5.1-4). DESCRIPTION: The readline library will read a line from the terminal and return it, allowing the user to edit the line with emacs or vi editing keys. It also allows a history feature, for editing previous entries, making command line interfaces easier-to-use and more intuitive. libreadline6 provides the .dlls needed for readline and history expansion for dynamic linking in other programs, including bash and gdb; it is required for a minimal cygwin installation. The 6 in libreadline6 distinguishes incompatible API changes made to the prior libreadline4 and libreadline5 libraries still available on the mirrors. readline provides the documentation and the static libraries required for static linking; you should only need it if you plan on compiling an application that links with -lreadline or -lhistory. UPDATE: === 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. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'libreadline6' from the 'Base' category (it should already be selected), or 'readline' in the 'Devel' category. Be sure that you do not have any cygwin programs running during the upgrade. DOWNLOAD: = Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html QUESTIONS: == If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. - -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin readline maintainer CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO: = To unsubscribe to the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.

Updated: monotone-0.25.2-1 (security fix)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Version 0.25.2-1 of monotone has been uploaded. monotone is a free distributed version control system. it provides a simple, single-file transactional version store, with fully disconnected operation and an efficient peer-to-peer synchronization protocol. it understands history-sensitive merging, lightweight branches, integrated code review and 3rd party testing. it uses cryptographic version naming and client-side RSA certificates. it has good internationalization support, has no external dependencies, runs on linux, solaris, OSX, windows, and other unixes, and is licensed under the GNU GPL. important security fix With versions of monotone prior to this release, a person with commit access could commit a malicious file with a name like mt/monotonerc. When anybody else then checked out this revision on a system with a case-folding filesystem -- usually, this means, on Windows or OS X -- then their monotone would run arbitrary Lua code stored in this file. The _only_ change in this release as compared to 0.25 is that the existing checks against files in MT are now extended to check for mt, Mt, and mT.
