Re: Setup 2.693 unable to replace files through reboot

We're kind-of bordering on gpl non-compliant, because there's no way of knowing for sure (after downloading the binary of setup.exe) whether whoever compiled it had everything up-to-date in their sandbox, and cvs doesn't even have atomic revisions, so it's not entirely straightforward to reconstruct what the checkout must have been from the version number of the uploaded binary which is just the revision of the ChangeLog. cheers, DaveK
PATCH: setup.exe 2.693 installation status incompletely shown in Create Icons/Installation Status screen

HTH --- Forwarded message --- From: Matthias Andree matthias.and...@gmx.de Subject: setup.exe 2.693 installation status incompletely shown in Create Icons/Installation Status screen Setup 2.693 incompletely displays the Installation Status warning on the page that also contains two checkboxes under create Icons on my Windows 7 machine (Professional, 32-bit, German, Segoe UI 9pt sized font as pre-installed in my Dell design). This can make the importance of the reboot go unnoticed - important for newcomers to Cygwin. The Installation status has one line, the only readable part is In-use files have been replaced.

I'll answer two of Dave's postings, I hope this also provides answers to CGF's
questions:

As Administrator (in fact that's a property of setup.exe).
What's up? Can I help to debug this?
Take a look in /var/log/{setup.log,setup.log.full}; there should be error
messages if it failed to schedule the replace on reboot that might give us a
clue.
No strikingly obvious failures, quoting setup.log.full (manually shortened a bit
where there were too many successive lines that differed just by file/path
names, marked by ellipsis).
I find the backslash/fwd slash mixes around C:\cygwin\bin euhm, interesting,
for instance here: 2010/04/06 19:14:11 Scheduled reboot replacement of file
C:\cygwin\bin/cygwin1.dll with C:\cygwin\bin/cygwin1.dll.new.
Dave later asked:
Hmm. The docs suggest that the replace-on-reboot functionality
a) can't work on network drives
b) needs write access to the registry key:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations
c) may fail if the System volume is a basic volume [ ... and ... ] the
destination drive or the source drive is located on a dynamic volume
Any of those apply to you guys?
(a) no, local C:\ drive
(b) no such key exists. FileRenameOperations is an unnamed empty REG_SZ item.
(c) no dynamic volumes involved, everything is in the basic volume C:\ which is
also the system volume.
Nothing in eventvwr.exe is standing out either.
Now the log, hope it helps. Let me know if you need more information;

Re: weak symbols on Cygwin
Hi Dave, on ELF platforms, you can leave undefined references in an executable, to be filled in by ld.so at runtime according to what the loader finds present once it's loaded libc. ... On windows ... There's no run-time process of scanning all available symbols from all loaded libraries against undefined references in the executable. ... on Windows, all the library functions imported from libc come in the form of import stubs from the (static) import library. So weak references won't cause any of those symbols to be pulled in, even if the library does provide them. But if something else in the program causes them to be pulled in, the weak references will resolve to the imported function. Thanks for these explanations. So, #pragma weak is very different on PE systems than on ELF systems. On ELF platforms, I use #pragma weak in order to detect whether a symbol is defined in the libraries which are linked in with the executable (including libc). This whole concept isn't going to translate directly to Windows platforms. There's no interposing or providing missing definitions at runtime; if it's not already there at final link time, it's not going to be there at runtime. The only way windows can determine this sort of thing is through dlsym()ing all the open libraries, I think. I was implicitly hoping that - gcc would collect all weak-declared symbols in some table, and generate code so that the reference to these symbols makes an indirection through this table, - the Cygwin runtime would call dlsym or GetProcAddress at startup and fill in addresses into said table. What's the larger-scale goal you're trying to support by this method? Are you after implementing some sort of plug-in architecture or something? I've got some code, written for ELF platforms, that detects whether the pthread library (often a separate library from libc) is linked, by doing #pragma weak pthread_cancel bool pthread_in_use = (pthread_cancel != NULL); This code breaks in Cygwin 1.7, because the autoconf test determines that gcc accepts #pragma weak. Not a big problem - I can surround that code with #ifdef __ELF__ Simply, it's an issue to be aware of. I'll suggest a documentation improvement for the GCC manual.

Re: git stopped working with 1.7.1
Hi Brian, I had the same issue, lets see if my cause is your cause too. After I've replaced(or removed!) %windir%\system32\cygz.dll with the newer one in Cygwin, git 1.7.0.4 worked well. Perhaps I've manually copied an older cygz.dll to there sometimes ago.I can't remember. Some sub-commands of git like git-upload-pack tries to load a wrong/conflicting version of dll from somewhere.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cygwin-1.7.4-1
Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I just release 1.7.4-1. This is a bugfix release which fixes a fifo
problem introduced with 1.7.3-1 and a few other problems.
==
NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE
Cygwin 1.7.1 or earlier users of LSA authentication using the cyglsa.dll
or cyglsa64.dll files *must* replace the old cyglsa DLL with the new one
from this package, otherwise LSA authentication will fail with the new
1.7.3 Cygwin DLL.
This is unfortunately necessary, but it should be the last time for
quite some time.
DON'T FORGET TO REBOOT after replacing cyglsa.dll.
==
==
NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE
Localization support has been much enhanced since 1.7.1 and the locale
variables (LANG, LC_TIME, etc) are now evaluated and require a *valid*
locale specifier to be fully functional. Make sure to read the below
changes to the localization support and *especially* the updated
documentation at http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.html to
get the full picture.
==
Changes and bugfixes since Cygwin 1.7.3:
- Fix a typo which made FIFOs non-functional.
- Fix wrong return value in call to btowc('\0').
- Allow atexit callbacks to register further atexit callbacks.
- New /usr/include/sched.h and /usr/incude/sys/sched.h files due to
alignment with newlib files. No functional change. However, if the
new files result in problems when building projects, please report
to the Cygwin list.
Changes and bugfixes since Cygwin 1.7.2:
- Fix deadlock problem between atexit and dlclose processing which
caused some programs to hang on exit.
- Fix handling of non-blocking pipes when read/write is attempted and
previous I/O has not completed.
- Disable erroneous .exe/.lnk suffix handling for directories.
- Fix potentially corrupted locale information.
- Enable IPv6 support in rcmd(3) function, which was accidentally
diabled since the function has been added to Cygwin 1.7.0.
- More relaxed Netapp FS recognition.
- Enable finding paths in backslash notation in calls to execvp/execlp.
- Modification and access timestamps of devices reflect the current time.
- Support for GB2312/EUC-CN. These charsets are implemented as aliases
to GBK. GB2312 is now the default charset name for the locales zh_CN
and zh_SG, just as on Linux.
- The Cygwin console emulation graphics mode switching now strictly
follows ISO 2022.
Changes and bugfixes since Cygwin 1.7.1:
Changes:
- Localization support has been much improved.
- Cygwin now handles locales using the underlying Windows locale
support. The locale must exist in Windows to be recognized. Locale
aliases from the file /usr/share/locale/locale.alias are also
allowed, as long as their replacement is supported by the underlying
Windows.
- New tool locale to fetch locale information and default locales
based on the Windows default settings as well as lists of all
supported locales and character sets.
Hint:
Try `locale -a' for a list of available locales.
Try `locale -av' for more details.
Try `locale -m' for a list of available character sets.
- Default charset for locales without explicit charset is now chosen
from a list of Linux-compatible charsets.
For instance:
en_US - ISO-8859-1
ja_JP - EUC-JP
zh_TW - Big5
- Added support for the charsets GEORGIAN-PS, PT154, and TIS-620.
- Support for various locale modifiers to switch charsets as on
Linux (@euro, @latin, @iqtelif).
- Default charset in the C or POSIX locale has been changed back
from UTF-8 to ASCII, to avoid problems with applications expecting a
singlebyte charset in the C/POSIX locale. Cygwin still uses
UTF-8 internally for filename conversion in this case.
- LC_COLLATE, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, and LC_TIME localization is
enabled via Windows locale support. LC_MESSAGES is enabled via a
big table with localized strings.
- fnmatch(3), regcomp(3), regexec(3) calls are now multibyte-aware.
- printf(3), wprintf(3) families of functions now handle the grouping
flag, the apostrophe ', per POSIX-1.2008. The integer portion of
the result of a decimal conversion (%i, %d, %u, %f, %F, %g, %G) will
be formatted with thousands' grouping characters according to the
locale settings.
- strftime(3), wcsftime(3), and strptime(3) now handle the E and O
format modifiers to print/scan alternative date and time
representations or to use alternative digits in locales

Your problem was that a package didnt get installed because you would have had to explicitly told it not to have been. Nice explanation if it was actually true, but it's just an assumption you have made, based on your opinion that the cygwin installer is flawless. Here are my thoughts on the gui - I think it could be made considerably more user friendly with some minor cosmetic changes. Personally, as a UI fanatic, I have no problem with it, and I get really nitpicky about design. Lets hear your gripes, shall we? :) The View button is being used to do two separate and unrelated tasks. - Switch between category and list view - Choose between partial, up to date, and not installed. I suggest that additional radio buttons be used to select between category and list view. They are *not* unrelated. In fact, that button keeps me *sane* how do you choose full view in category mode, full view in list mode, partial view in category mode, partial view in list mode, not installed in category mode, not installed in list mode ? they dont exist because packages can exist in multiple categories (apache in web and network, xbiff in X11 and Network, etc) nope, that doesn't explain anything. So what if they can exist in multiple categories. Obviously if I choose a list view, then I want a list of everything that has been chosen, with no duplicates. And a category view would obviously show the duplicates within the categories. What it does is change the perspective of looking at the packages; the fact that one view happens to be a tree view (by category) instead of a linear-list (by is-installed or is-downloaded) is a happy 2nd or 3rd order effect. *any other way of doing it would be a kludgy look*. So you are saying that the single button has a second order effect. Normally, you would put this 'second order effect' on a different gui component so it could be controlled separately. In effect, the view button tries to do two things - one is how you see what is currently selected (list or category), the other is to select what you see. Why on earth you would want to choose these functions with the same button I don't know. no, the second order effect is that in category view, it is set up in a tree-list instead of (oh i dont know) sorted by the category in a column. There you go again, a 'second order effect' - So you admit that one button does two separate things, and you think that's ok, and is the best way to do things, and doesn't confuse anyone at all? The terms used are not the clearest (and believe me, things are tricky enough already) Partial - I suggest change to 'to be be installed' or similar Up to date - I suggest change to 'already installed' or similar not installed - this is clear, no changes necessary Partial: Downloaded (or marked for download/Updatable), but not installed. Up To Date: Downloaded, Installed and latest version. Not Installed: Self Referential. Yes, I know you can explain the terms to me, good design however is self explanatory. The way that (partial, up to date and not installed) is selected, via clicking on a button multiple times is not very common in gui design. It sure as hell is. Look at Synaptic: Uses the same ideology; If the debian folks were braindamaged (which, frankly, some of them are) they would be working on GNOME projects (Except Synaptic, which also has this ability) Where else? - I don't see it everywhere in all the gui's I use - I do however see radio buttons and drop down lists everywhere. I'll point to Microsoft's Visual Studio installers of past. I dont have the RC for vs2010 but I can speculate its the same as most of the other ones: a button to change one things, another button to change something else, and more buttons to change how you see things. AVR Studio uses view-modes as well, changing the entire layout of the application depending on what you are doing at the moment (be it flashing a device, debugging a device, etc) It doesn't allow you to see all of the available choices at once. I suggest replacing this button either with a group of radio buttons, or a drop down list similar to the way that you can change the view in a windows folder (details, list, icons). I believe the view-mode you're looking for is full No, I'm looking for a logical way of selecting the view mode. I believe you are looking for the view button then. No, because the view button is a confused hack of a way to select both what I want to view, and how I want to view it. If you cared about gui design as you claim to, then you would realize that this is a

Not a big problem - I can surround that code with #ifdef __ELF__ And on cygwin, since the pthread functionality is IN cygwin1.dll, you can never link a cygwin-based DLL or EXE without having the pthread symbols present.

You most likely have some other piece of software which embedded Cygwin and helpfully broke your general Cygwin installation by installing Cygwin DLLs to system32 for you. If you want to have a functional Cygwin installation, you would be better off removing the offending software and ensuring that all Cygwin DLLs are removed from system32. Note that I have the registry value to allow loading DLL from the same directory preceding the path but %windir%\system32 is always the first in the PATH environment variable. This is a well-documented behavior of Windows: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682586%28VS.85%29.aspx Many of the git subcommands now live in /usr/lib/git-core, so none of the Cygwin DLLs exist in the same directory as the subcommand binaries. If SafeDllSearchMode is disabled, the current directory is searched next, but no one is likely to have copies of Cygwin DLLs in every directory in which they may be running commands. The next fallback in both safe and non-safe mode is the system directory (system32). When the matching DLL is found there, it preempts the use of the DLL you intended to find via PATH. This is why it is BAD, BAD, BAD to install third-party DLLs into system32. :-) -Jeremy -- 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
Re: MySQL client, prompt, redux

If there is no mysql package in the Cygwin repository, have you tried to see if Cygwin Ports has a Cygwin-native build which will work for you? This is just to confirm, for the sake of the archive's completeness, that Cygwin Ports has builds, or patch sets if you prefer to build them from scratch, and that these Cygwin builds provide a working command prompt. The only downside is that I don't seem to be able to connect through a socket, so I always have to use the network layer (via the -h hostname option) to connect to my local server. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38 -- 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

1.7.3: remote bash process left after ssh connection dropped
I run an ssh session between two machines which auto-reconnects when the connection is dropped (it's really just a bash while look that calls ssh). My problem is that after a while, I get an error about being unable to create a tty on the remote system (I'm sorry, but I don't have the exact wording of the error). When I investigated the remote system, I found there were 64 orphaned, bash processes running. Their TTY field in ps -a output nicely listed every number from 0 to 63. Every orphaned bash had it's PPID set to 1. It looks to me like when the remote machine (sshd) lost it's ssh connection, it left bash running and terminated itself. That left one of the TTY's occupied each time until it hit the system limit (which was apparently 64). I expected the bash processes to disappear with sshd process that created them. Is this: 1) A problem with my setup that can be remedied. 2) A problem with cygwin. 3) A problem with ssh. 4) Design intent.

Re: weak symbols on Cygwin
On 07/04/2010 10:06, Bruno Haible wrote: Thanks for these explanations. So, #pragma weak is very different on PE systems than on ELF systems. Well, to be pedantically precise, #pragma weak is basically the same: it shuts the linker up from complaining about a symbol if no definition is provided at link time. But it has downstream (from the linker) consequences owing to the linker on PE being obliged to resolve everything and the linker on ELF not having to. I was implicitly hoping that - gcc would collect all weak-declared symbols in some table, and generate code so that the reference to these symbols makes an indirection through this table, - the Cygwin runtime would call dlsym or GetProcAddress at startup and fill in addresses into said table. This is basically what the static linker (ld) and runtime loader (ld.so) co-operate to achieve on ELF. It is very likely possible to support something like that on Cygwin, but it'd take some work to implement. I've got some code, written for ELF platforms, that detects whether the pthread library (often a separate library from libc) is linked, by doing #pragma weak pthread_cancel bool pthread_in_use = (pthread_cancel != NULL); And you really need to determine this dynamically at runtime rather than statically at configure time? Fair enough; in that case I think Chuck's suggestion that you use configure to choose between the runtime check on ELF platforms and a statically-configured runtime-constant value on PE platforms is probably the best solution. cheers, DaveK -- 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

Problem with SSH log on through passwordless public key using the LSA security method on a Windows Server 2008 Standard machine
Hi,
I'm having problems logging in to a Windows Server 2008 Standard
machine using a password-less public key and I feel that I'm getting
nowhere closer to solving it. Despite my attempts the log in always
results in asking for my account password. Logging in using a password
works well, but I really need to log in using my public.
What I've done is:
1. Turing DEP off by: bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff
2. Installing Cygwin
3. Execute /usr/bin/cyglsa-config to use Switching the user context
without password, Method 2: LSA authentication package from
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html followed by a computer
restart
4. Added the row CYGWIN=binmode tty ntsec (without ) to
c:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat
5. Execute ssh-host-config choosing the defaults, I wrote binmode
tty ntsec when asked for the CYGWIN contents
After that, the system has been restarted numerous times. I also have
Cron deamon running, under a domain account. But I don't think it
affects the issue. I'm able to log in using a password, but not using
a public key. Also the su command doesn't work, it asks me for a
password when issuing it and always respons with su: /bin/bash:
Permission denied, that one might be related?
Below are some output which might make it easier to know what's wrong
divided into ** headlines **.
Thank you for reading! I hope someone has a tip or two. Any help is
greatly appreciated! :-)

** The ssh-host-config script and some thoughts **
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README says:
1. The user which runs the CYGWIN sshd-service should have the rights:
a. Create a token object
b. Logon as a service
c. Replace a process level token
d. Increase Quota
2. The ssh-host-config script asks you, if it should create such an
account, called sshd_server with the correct (above) rights.
3. Note that ssh-user-config sets the permissions on 2003 Server
machines dependent of whether a sshd_server account exists or not.
I don't understand [3] above and [2] doesn't seem to be quite right
any more? As far as I can tell, when I ran the script and an account
named cyg_server was created. The CYGWIN sshd-service is running
under the created account.
By logging on to the server and Start / Administrative Tools / Local
Security Policy / Local Policies / User Rights Assignment I'm able to
verify that the cyg_server which runs the CYGWIN sshd-service has
the 1a,1b,1c rights. But the 1d (Increase Quota) can not be found
under User Rights Assignment. The two who start with Increase are
Increase a process working set and Increase scheduling priority.
Neither of which the cyg_server account is assigned.
What's different from the README above is the account name, and maybe
the lack of Increase Quota (I have no idea where I should be able to
find it if not where I looked, and if it really is necessary).

man pages showing special characters
I have searched the archive on this with complicated results. First, I am using latest version of cygwin. I normally use rxvt. But after having this issue with it, and finding information that mintty does not have the issue, I started using mintty. My first attempt to fix the issue in rxvt was successful (export LANG=C). However, at some point it failed. LANG is the same, but I again was getting special characters where a hyphen (and quotes and other punctuation) is suppose to be. That is when I started using mintty. It worked right off no problems. However *now* it is doing the same. I have tried setting LANG and LC_ALL to en_US.utf8 but nothing is helping. Any suggestions?

Problem with Shift+Left or Right arrow in Cygwin locally (Ctrl isn't noticed) and through SSH (escape code isn't interpreted correctly)
Hi, If I'm in Bash on my Ubuntu system I can use Ctrl+Left Arrow or Right Arrow to navigate one word at a time to the left and right. When I use Cygwin it doesn't react to the Ctrl, responding as if I only had pressed the Left or Right Arrow. Is there a way to fix this? The next step is when I log in from an Ubuntu 9.10 system to Cygwin 6 using SSH. If I use Shift+Arrow Key this way there seem to be a problem with the escape codes. Here is some hopefully relevant console output: ke...@thi008:~/workdir$ echo $TERM xterm ke...@thi008:~/workdir$ ssh 192.168.36.198 ke...@192.168.36.198's password: Last login: Wed Apr 7 17:52:53 2010 from 192.168.36.155 ke...@kentl ~ $ echo 'ctrl+left,right,up,down shows as (space as delimiter, ends with apostrophe): ;5D ;5C ;5A ;5B ' ctrl+left,right,up,down shows as (space as delimiter, ends with apostrophe): ;5D ;5C ;5A ;5B ke...@kentl ~ $ echo $TERM xterm ke...@kentl ~ $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-6.0 kentl 1.7.1(0.218/5/3) 2009-12-07 11:48 i686 Cygwin Any help will be greatly appreciated! -- 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

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: ddrescue-1.12-1
Version 1.12-1 of ddrescue has been uploaded. http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html Description from README: GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue data in case of read errors. The basic operation of ddrescue is fully automatic. That is, you don't have to wait for an error, stop the program, read the log, run it in reverse mode, etc. If you use the logfile feature of ddrescue, the data is rescued very efficiently, (only the needed blocks are read). Also you can interrupt the rescue at any time and resume it later at the same point. Ddrescue is also able to selectively overwrite parts of the output file, which has a number of interesting uses like wiping data, marking bad areas or even, in some cases, repair damaged sectors. Upstream NEWS: Changes in version 1.10: The new option --try-again has been added. The size skipped when bad sectors are found has been made independent of cluster-size. Rescue speed has been improved for large logfiles. An overflow reading from devices of undefined size has been fixed. Changes in version 1.11: In case of error writing the logfile to disc, the user is now given the possibility of fixing the problem and continue. The splitting algorithm has been modified to read sequentially the areas smaller than a threshold size. After every read error, ddrescue now verifies the input file has not disappeared. In rescue mode, ddrescue now shows the time elapsed from the last successful read. Signals SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 are now ignored by ddrescue. Descriptions of --direct, --synchronous and --sparse in the manual have been made clearer. Description of rescue algorithm in the manual has been made clearer. make check now verifies that files are open in binary mode. A warning about logfile usage has been added to ddrescue --help output. Changes in version 1.12: The destination file is now created with write permission for all if umask allows it. Files are now open in binary mode in non-POSIX platforms defining the O_BINARY macro. Lintian warnings in Debian about man pages have been fixed.

Quite the opposite, in fact: a lot of effort has gone into it over many years (see http://people.redhat.com/drepper/gnuconf96.ps), and I find that GNU software tends to be better at i18n than most proprietary software.

The reason I said it won't, is because *I* have neither the time nor sufficient knowledge to implement it -- and I'm the guy that maintains cygwin's inetutils (that is, ftp+other stuff) package. I wouldn't worry about it. 'ftp' supports UTF-8 just fine actually, by simply passing it through unharmed from the server to the local system. What it doesn't do is to translate filenames to a local legacy charset such as CP1251, which is what the OP appears to be using. Of course he hasn't actually told us, nor has he said whether he's still using Cygwin 1.5. Legacy charsets are on their way out, 'ftp' was always meant to be a barebones client, and more capable alternatives are available anyway, so there's little point in developing a patch.

kernel only supports paths up to 259 characters long if no UNC is used

(1.7.3-1 was not an improvement). The failures I do get are identical to what I described before: the demux thread is getting a 0 (= EOF) return from read(stdin, ...), while the server process is still trying to upload data via ssh.

Where did you get that sentence?! Googling found nothing but your
e-mail message. That can't possibly be true for NTFS. NTFS takes
spaces in directories (C:\Program Files\) and filenames
(...\Budget 2009.doc) perfectly well. On a Windows XP system, I just
created a file named C:\download\MySQL\foo bar.baz.txt just fine:
created in Explorer, edited in Notepad, typed in CMD.
Windows in kernel-space defines this restriction (as defined by Wikipedia):
Microsoft Windows: Windows kernel forbids the use of
characters in range 1-31 (i.e., 0x01-0x1F) and characters * :

Though / cannot be used in _filenames_ in Linux -- it's always a
directory delimiter.
Since 'touch foo.' would result in doing an fileopen(foo.) this
would be considered bad by Windows AND Linux ( I mounted an NTFS
Partition and tried 'touch foo.' and was denied it)
In Linux using a Linux filesystem, it doesn't care in the slightest
about periods. In Windows in CMD and Explorer, an attempt to rename
C:\download\MySQL\foo bar baz to
C:\download\MySQL\foo bar baz. simply caused the trailing . to be
ignored.

Updated: cygwin-1.7.4-1
Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I just release 1.7.4-1. This is a bugfix release which fixes a fifo
problem introduced with 1.7.3-1 and a few other problems.
==
NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE
Cygwin 1.7.1 or earlier users of LSA authentication using the cyglsa.dll
or cyglsa64.dll files *must* replace the old cyglsa DLL with the new one
from this package, otherwise LSA authentication will fail with the new
1.7.3 Cygwin DLL.
This is unfortunately necessary, but it should be the last time for
quite some time.
DON'T FORGET TO REBOOT after replacing cyglsa.dll.
==
==
NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE
Localization support has been much enhanced since 1.7.1 and the locale
variables (LANG, LC_TIME, etc) are now evaluated and require a *valid*
locale specifier to be fully functional. Make sure to read the below
changes to the localization support and *especially* the updated
documentation at http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.html to
get the full picture.
==
Changes and bugfixes since Cygwin 1.7.3:
- Fix a typo which made FIFOs non-functional.
- Fix wrong return value in call to btowc('\0').
- Allow atexit callbacks to register further atexit callbacks.
- New /usr/include/sched.h and /usr/incude/sys/sched.h files due to
alignment with newlib files. No functional change. However, if the
new files result in problems when building projects, please report
to the Cygwin list.
Changes and bugfixes since Cygwin 1.7.2:
- Fix deadlock problem between atexit and dlclose processing which
caused some programs to hang on exit.
- Fix handling of non-blocking pipes when read/write is attempted and
previous I/O has not completed.
- Disable erroneous .exe/.lnk suffix handling for directories.
- Fix potentially corrupted locale information.
- Enable IPv6 support in rcmd(3) function, which was accidentally
diabled since the function has been added to Cygwin 1.7.0.
- More relaxed Netapp FS recognition.
- Enable finding paths in backslash notation in calls to execvp/execlp.
- Modification and access timestamps of devices reflect the current time.
- Support for GB2312/EUC-CN. These charsets are implemented as aliases
to GBK. GB2312 is now the default charset name for the locales zh_CN
and zh_SG, just as on Linux.
- The Cygwin console emulation graphics mode switching now strictly
follows ISO 2022.
Changes and bugfixes since Cygwin 1.7.1:
Changes:
- Localization support has been much improved.
- Cygwin now handles locales using the underlying Windows locale
support. The locale must exist in Windows to be recognized. Locale
aliases from the file /usr/share/locale/locale.alias are also
allowed, as long as their replacement is supported by the underlying
Windows.
- New tool locale to fetch locale information and default locales
based on the Windows default settings as well as lists of all
supported locales and character sets.
Hint:
Try `locale -a' for a list of available locales.
Try `locale -av' for more details.
Try `locale -m' for a list of available character sets.
- Default charset for locales without explicit charset is now chosen
from a list of Linux-compatible charsets.
For instance:
en_US - ISO-8859-1
ja_JP - EUC-JP
zh_TW - Big5
- Added support for the charsets GEORGIAN-PS, PT154, and TIS-620.
- Support for various locale modifiers to switch charsets as on
Linux (@euro, @latin, @iqtelif).
- Default charset in the C or POSIX locale has been changed back
from UTF-8 to ASCII, to avoid problems with applications expecting a
singlebyte charset in the C/POSIX locale. Cygwin still uses
UTF-8 internally for filename conversion in this case.
- LC_COLLATE, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, and LC_TIME localization is
enabled via Windows locale support. LC_MESSAGES is enabled via a
big table with localized strings.
- fnmatch(3), regcomp(3), regexec(3) calls are now multibyte-aware.
- printf(3), wprintf(3) families of functions now handle the grouping
flag, the apostrophe ', per POSIX-1.2008. The integer portion of
the result of a decimal conversion (%i, %d, %u, %f, %F, %g, %G) will
be formatted with thousands' grouping characters according to the
locale settings.
- strftime(3), wcsftime(3), and strptime(3) now handle the E and O
format modifiers to print/scan alternative date and time
representations or to use alternative digits in locales
Updated: ddrescue-1.12-1
Version 1.12-1 of ddrescue has been uploaded. http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html Description from README: GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue data in case of read errors. The basic operation of ddrescue is fully automatic. That is, you don't have to wait for an error, stop the program, read the log, run it in reverse mode, etc. If you use the logfile feature of ddrescue, the data is rescued very efficiently, (only the needed blocks are read). Also you can interrupt the rescue at any time and resume it later at the same point. Ddrescue is also able to selectively overwrite parts of the output file, which has a number of interesting uses like wiping data, marking bad areas or even, in some cases, repair damaged sectors. Upstream NEWS: Changes in version 1.10: The new option --try-again has been added. The size skipped when bad sectors are found has been made independent of cluster-size. Rescue speed has been improved for large logfiles. An overflow reading from devices of undefined size has been fixed. Changes in version 1.11: In case of error writing the logfile to disc, the user is now given the possibility of fixing the problem and continue. The splitting algorithm has been modified to read sequentially the areas smaller than a threshold size. After every read error, ddrescue now verifies the input file has not disappeared. In rescue mode, ddrescue now shows the time elapsed from the last successful read. Signals SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 are now ignored by ddrescue. Descriptions of --direct, --synchronous and --sparse in the manual have been made clearer. Description of rescue algorithm in the manual has been made clearer. make check now verifies that files are open in binary mode. A warning about logfile usage has been added to ddrescue --help output. Changes in version 1.12: The destination file is now created with write permission for all if umask allows it. Files are now open in binary mode in non-POSIX platforms defining the O_BINARY macro. Lintian warnings in Debian about man pages have been fixed.
