Precisely why I've hesitated to take on lots more packages within the distro. I've thought on this over the last few days and would like to share them with the list; 1) Yaakov has a *huge* number of packages over at cygports many of which could benefit everyone (or, at least more easily available for more folks) if they were part of the main cygwin distro(? is there a better way to describe this) 2) All of them are (AFAIU) built with cygports which should make maintenance of the package far easier and transfer of maintainership easier/safer 3) If Yaakov stopped doing this (please correct me if I'm wrong) the majority of the packages on cygports would stop being maintained and would bit-rot as more upstream releases aren't packaged. Ok, thoughts. If Yaakov brought lots (most?) of the packages into the main distro; 1) Yaakov could continue to support the packages as he currently does on cygports, but everyone would benefit from better integration 2) If Yaakov ([deity] forbid) decided to stop supporting them they would _still_ have a cygport which should make 'pickup' easier. 3) If Yaakov wished to reduce the number of packages he supports I'm sure a page could be added to the cygwin.com site to list packages which are available to be taken over (actually, an orphaned page might not be a bad idea anyway?). This 'take over' would, I'm sure, be made easier by the existence of the cygport. Anyway, all this is just talk; the only people who could make this happen are Yaakov, Christopher and Corinna.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: units-1.87-1
Version 1.87-1 of units has been uploaded. The Units program converts quantities expressed in various scales to their equivalents in other scales. The units program can handle multiplicative scale changes as well as nonlinear conversions such as Fahrenheit to Celsius or wire gauge. Units comes with an annotated, extendable database defining over two thousand units. Units acts as a general calculator for units. You can add, subtract, multiply and divide units. You can raise units to integer powers and you can take roots of units. Operations can be grouped using parentheses. This release brings the cygwin package into line with the last GNU release and into line with FHS compliance. All credit should go to Yaakov for this release.

Re: Problem with compiling Perl Curses.pm
2010/1/20 Charles Wilson: Reini Urban wrote: Then CursesVar.c is regenerated by gen\make.CursesVar.c It looks like this generation got triggered somehow and gets it wrong. Because the DLL exporting part of ncurses/ncurses_dll.h does: /* * For reentrant code, we map the various global variables into SCREEN by * using functions to access them. */ #define NCURSES_PUBLIC_VAR(name) ncwrap_##name #define NCURSES_WRAPPED_VAR(type,name) extern type NCURSES_PUBLIC_VAR(name)(void) Uhm no, that's not wrong. That's correct. It's a consequence of cygwin finally moving from what upstream ncurses calls ABI 5 to what they call ABI 6 [*]. Thanks. I also found that out afterwards. Getting those public vars is still supported, but setting is now unsupported. Interestingly this change is not documented. See http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=53818 We now build with support for re-entrancy, which requires a few ABI changes of this sort. Which means that you really can't change the value of LINES in this way -- there may be another way, but I'm not sure what it is. Besides, I don't think changing the value of the LINES C variable outside of curses was ever really supposed to work. The documentation says that LINES will be populated by initscr() using the value of the *environment variable* LINES, or if that's empty, then it will be populated from the terminfo description. But the docs are silent as to what happens if you manually modify that C variable after initscr(). Anyway, I looked at the bug report thread, and I think your Tue Jan 19 11:16:23 2010 response is the correct one. You just shouldn't write to those variables, AFAICT. Maybe there is some set_FOO() function that could be used, but I don't know what it is; and for /some/ of these particular variables it just conceptually doesn't really make sense to change them once initscr() is complete. (You should be able to update COLORS and COLOR_PAIRS...I think there are accessor functions for that.) I haven't found any set_FOO(). I wrote into my perl patch: I'm sorry. I had to disable writing to LINES, COLS, curscr, stdscr, COLORS, COLOR_PAIRS, because with the new NCURSES_REENTRANT lib, writing is forbidden. It's now wrapped behind a function call. I believe this affects all platforms, but some ncurses expert should clarify how to write to LINES now. You're also right that this will affect more platforms than just cygwin, once they start enabling re-entrancy -- which is slated to be the default when ncurses-6 is released upstream. 'Course, that may not happen for a year. Or two or three. [*] cygwin *used* be be at ABI 5 -- actually, because of issues with DLLs and exported complex data structures in the historical absence of pseudo-reloc support, we were really using a somewhat bastardized form of ABI 5.5. Furthermore, because of certain other historical changes -- ABI jumps required by new compilers, the cygwin-1.3 to -1.5 transition, and ABI-breaking bugfixes -- our ABI 5 or 5.5 was actually cygncurses-9. Well, now, we're actually using the true upstream ABI 6. Only, we have to call it cygncurses-10. Isn't this fun? Thanksfully this is not problematic, than silently breaking setters. Maybe they didn't know that people were also setting those vars. -- Reini Urban http://phpwiki.org/ http://murbreak.at/ -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

From http://wiki.twit.tv/wiki/FLOSS_Weekly Most episodes feature the primary developer or developers of a particular open source software or hardware project.

Typically, the interviewers will ask the guests about the history of the project, and its development model (such as which language it is written in, which version control system is used, and what development environment the author uses). Some shows, such as the interviews with Jon Maddog Hall and Simon Phipps, are not specific to an open source project, and feature more general topics, such as the philosophy of free and open source software. Shows begin and end with a brief discussion between Laporte and Schwartz, before and after calling the guest. Often the guests are interviewed via Skype, with Laporte's staff at TWiT being responsible for the audio recording and production. A 55 min Skype interview live! Indeed frightening.

Issues with terminal freezing after scp in expect script.
Hi,
I have interesting problem. I have bash script that calls an expect script that
works fine and does an scp. However after the scp the terminal freezes. It is
stuck on the bash prompt, however the prompt is not the original prompt. After
I do ctrl C it continues to process. I tried to do a ctrl c/break/exit in the
expect script, but it does not work. Any ideas what could be causing the
problem? Scripts are below:

OK. Any suggestions on how I can figure out which of those is the problem?
I'm not sure about LWP, but wget and curl both work from the command line,

Sorry, I was busy.
Can you send me my our /home/ASchulma/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm to me only,
so I can check which method is failing for you.
You can disable failing download methods with the key:

I disabled Net::FTP for me.

Design issue with new MS-DOS style path warning?
Hello folks, I am aware it is possible to disable the MS-DOS style path detected warning with the 'nodosfilewarning' option. But this message raises the question of, What is the Cygwin ideal? That is, how to avoid the warning in a clean way without resorting to the 'nodosfilewarning' option? There is a situation in which it is not conceptually clean to avoid the warning: at the interface between the host OS and Cygwin tools. Say, for example, you create a Windows batch file containing the line: touch C:\foo.txt You will receive the warning MS-DOS style path detected. How do you avoid the warning without resorting to 'nodosfilewarning'? 1. Use cygpath to convert the path first. This solution is not ideal, because it forces the caller of 'touch' to know that it is a Cygwin utility and not a native one. It is also not ideal because in some use cases it is very impractical to run cygpath over a path before passing it on to a command. 2. Use some alternative to cygpath, i.e., manual transformation of the path from DOS style to POSIX style. This suffers from the same issues as item #1, with the added issue that it also forces the caller to be aware of Cygwin internals (i.e., how to map X: to /cygdrive/X/). 3. Put your commands in a shell script and run them from there. Not ideal because in a sense it forces you, again, to know the difference between Cygwin and native utilities. Even if you're okay with that, you'll get bitten running the script -- the invocation bash C:\script.sh suffers the same issue! When starting Cygwin executables from Windows, it should be considered reasonable -- even sensible -- to use Windows native paths. Perhaps there should be no warning generated for command-line arguments when the executable is launched from Windows. Or perhaps paths should be converted from Windows to POSIX at that time (similar to the way the PATH environment variable is handled). Or perhaps I'm completely missing something fundamental and you're about to set me straight. :-) Thanks for your time.

Now, the rxvt-unicode-common postinstall script WILL install two different copies of each entry, but only if you have installed the old-style terminfo compiler program tic0.

Re: Design issue with new MS-DOS style path warning?

Re: path not found - fstab problem?

Hello,
I have cygwin installed in the default c:\cygwin location...
I cannot get cygwin to see an executable in my path -- unless I
change dirs down to the application location or run it with the
absolute path.
This works:
r...@mycomputer ~
$ /c/Apps/apache-ant-1.8.0RC1/bin/ant -version
Apache Ant version 1.8.0RC1 compiled on January 5 2010
THIS DOES NOT:
From my home dir: type ant and it is not found.
r...@mycomputer ~
$ date
Wed Jan 20 20:20:44 PST 2010
r...@mycomputer ~
$ ant
-bash: ant: command not found
I am using cygwin 1.7.1-1 with the new /etc/fstab file.
Here is my fstab file:
cat /etc/fstab:
# For a description of the file format, see the Users Guide
# http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table
C: /c ntfs binary 0 0
D: /d ntfs binary 0 0
# This is default anyway:
# none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0
If I am in my home directory and simply type ant it is not found.
r...@mycomputer ~
$ date
Wed Jan 20 20:20:44 PST 2010
r...@mycomputer ~
$ ant
-bash: ant: command not found
my .bash_profile path looks like:
PATH=$PATH:/c/Apps/apache-ant-1.8.ORC1/bin
export PATH
You've got an O ('oh') instead of a 0 ('zero') in there. If that's
just a typo in your mail, please check what your path is actually set
to, using 'echo $PATH'.
