Re: [RFU] unison2.40
Please upload, removing 2.40.61-1 and leaving 2.40.16-2 as the previous
release. Thanks, Andrew.
Ping. I think this got lost in the shuffle, probably because it came right
after the previous RFU and had the same subject. I guess I should specify the
full upload version in the subject, to make sure the messages can be easily
distinguished. Thanks, Andrew.

Re: Remove obsolete packages from http://cygwin.com/packages/
The discussion about pine made me realize that it was pretty confusing to have obsolete packages listed on the packages page. So I deleted them. I also deleted the equivalent entries from setup.ini. I'm confused. You mean you removed all obsolete packages from setup.ini? What then is the purpose of the Hide obsolete packages checkbox in setup.exe? Those packages are still in the archive, right? So if a person did want to install them, they'd have to go to their mirror, manually download them and untar them? I'm thinking in particular of the old unison* packages. They're marked obsolete because almost no one uses them any more and I don't want to crowd the setup list, but someone might still need to use them if they're working on a host with one of them installed on it.

I had gvim happily open on a file, closed it, opened another file, and we're tiny. When I have set guifont=Courier\ Bold\ 10 in my .vimrc it is at least visible, although still small, and doesn't change with the font size, but it does change size if I specify different fonts (ie Lucida at any size is wider than Courier or Courier Bold at any size, while Times New Roman is very small); when I comment it out I'm back to the crazy tiny that I had before. Any more ideas? :-( More questions, certainly. From the examples you have given (xterm works, gvim doesn't), I was assuming that this meant that core (server-side) fonts are correctly sized, Xft (client-side) fonts aren't. But perhaps you mean that gvim is the only application which shows this problem?

Re: fvwm ignores clickToFocus for function keys
When typing in an in-focus xterm, but the mouse cursor is elsewhere, if I hit a function key, the programmed action does not occur. Instead, something else occurs, which I cannot identify (involving insertion of characters and/or other actions). When the mouse is positioned directly inside the window, the programmed action occurs normally. This is different than the operation of fvwm under linux. In that case, an in-focus xterm takes function key input as well as other key input, regardless where the mouse cursor is. Thus, if I have programmed the xterm F12 key to send: 21 | less nl it is only received by bash if the mouse is positioned inside the window. This is a problem if I entered a command (other key input obeys the clickToFocus directive) and then hit F12, and some unidentifiable garbage gets inserted. I can't verify that this is a cygwin problem, but hours of googling haven't revealed any mention of the problem at all, an any platform. Interestingly, I just noticed that the arrow keys seem to work normally, regardless of the position of the mouse. It's only the function keys that behave poorly. Any help will be appreciated. I keep discovering new things about this problem. I'd said previously that under linux this did not happen. Not quite true. It turns out that it happens if my mouse is positioned over xterm's scroll bars! If the mouse is over the in-focus window, or any other window, or the root, the function keys work properly. But if the mouse is positioned over the scroll bars, it sends garbage! Furthermore, I just discovered something even more interesting - if the mouse is positioned over the title bar, the cut buffer gets modified ... uh oh, this is starting to sound like a configuration issue... but that was all on linux (suse 10.3). On cygwin it's wrong whenever the mouse is not over the in-focus window. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

Re: Subversion mangling names in .svn/entries metadata file
Do you *really* think I didn't reboot it? C'mon now, be serious. I've been using Cygwin for at least 5 years, I think I can follow some instructions when setup tells me I'll need to. I think I ended up rebooting 12 times, or at least that what it seemed like. Maybe I didn't explicitly say that I did reboot the system, but that's not a reason to merely assume that I didn't. In any case, it made no difference. There were half a dozen files ending in .new in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, so *something* wasn't running that was supposed to move them after a reboot. --jc Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

Eclipse and cygwin
I have installed Eclipse Helios Release on Windows 7. But I also want to build, compile and link so I have also installed Cygwin 1.7.7 But I can still not build. One reason could be that I only chose the default settings which doesn't include compiler and 'make'. How do I do that? Can I start the setup again and then choose the missing part? I have noticed that the unix commands are only avaible when I invoke a bash shell and not from cmd. Does that mean that Eclipse can't invoke make? If so, how and where do I change the settings.

It's a common enough problem for people in a rush to get things running to skip a reboot. Perhaps you did skip a reboot at one point and things got a little wedged when you ran later instances of setup.exe.

strange behaviour of Xfig under cygwin
Dear all, if I try to open a library in 3.2.5b first it takes a long time before the menu open. Than after selecting a Library to load I get a lot of errors File xxx.fig Figure resolution or coordinate specifier missing in line 5 Error reading xxx.fig By the way get this error also if I use the file open menu for the library files What is really strange is if I open the same files on a different computer it works without a problem. The fstab is also the same on both computers. The only difference I see is that the computer on which I have the problem has a Portuguese (Brasil) language settings in Windows Had someone encounter similar problems or know a solution for this?

I've got a simple solution that I am not sure if it has been mentioned here. take the link g++, and rename it g++.bak and make a copy of the g++ you want to use g++-3 or 4 and rename it g++ No more access denied problem. Better solutions than what you found are: o Invoke g++-3, gcc-3, g++-4, or gcc-4 directly. These are executables and work fine from the command prompt. o Create g++.bat and gcc.bat that call your preferred executable. These are better options than the one you found because they protect the integrity and structure of the package. Upgrades will not have leftover .bak files from earlier versions and so on. Also, your approach interferes with the use of 'alternatives' to select the compiler version you want. This is made convenient by 2 scripts, set-gcc-default-3.sh and set-gcc-default-4.sh.

Problem with deleting the Cygwin folder
Hello! After running the setup program in uninstall mode, it seems everything is left behind. That is nothing seemingly was deleted. Also when I manually go ahead and try to delete the contents of the folder, it gets hung up on the devices folder. Especially the one marked null, and even the thing created by the init functions. And seemingly as well the folder items inside it as well. Are there any suggestions from the group for a go around against this one?
