[ITP] libargp 20110921-1
I'd like to package and maintain libargp for Cygwin. argp is a C interface for processing command line arguments. The libargp source files are taken from gnulib. gnulib is a well-known program available in major Linux distros (e.g. http://packages.debian.org/sid/gnulib), but I'm not aware of any distros that separately package just argp from it. So I'm not sure if libargp needs to be voted on or not for inclusion in Cygwin. Documentation: http://www.gnu.org/s/hello/manual/libc/Argp.html Source home page: http://www.gnu.org/s/gnulib/MODULES.html License: LGPL setup.hint sdesc: Interface for parsing command line arguments ldesc: Argp is an interface for parsing unix-style argument vectors. Argp provides features unavailable in the more commonly used getopt interface, including automatically producing output in response to the '--help' and '--version' options. Argp also provides the ability to merge several independently defined option parsers into one, mediating conflicts between them and making the result appear seamless. A library can export an argp option parser that user programs might employ in conjunction with their own option parsers, resulting in less work for the user programs. Some programs may use only argument parsers exported by libraries, thereby achieving consistent and efficient option-parsing for abstractions implemented by the libraries. category: Devel Libs /setup.hint wget \ http://home.comcast.net/~andrex2/cygwin/libargp/setup.hint \ http://home.comcast.net/~andrex2/cygwin/libargp/libargp-20110921-1.tar.bz2 \ http://home.comcast.net/~andrex2/cygwin/libargp/libargp-20110921-1-src.tar.bz2

[ANNOUNCEMENT] [SECURITY] Updated: {apr1,libapr1,libapr1-devel}-1.4.5-1
apr1 has been updated to the latest upstream release. It includes a fix for CVE-2011-1928. CYGWIN NEWS: This build has enabled F_SETLK support. Process mutexes with fcntl and flock are still troublesome, but this will be fixed in Cygwin 1.7.10. See this thread http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-08/msg00480.html for more details. The library was built with TCP_NOPUSH support disabled. Cygwin defines TCP_NOPUSH, but returns protocol not defined when it's used. According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms738596%28v=vs.85%29.aspx this is because Windows doesn't support it.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: experimental octave-3.4.2-2
New experimental versions 3.4.2-2 of octave, octave-devel, octave-doc are available in the Cygwin distribution: CYGWIN CHANGES This is a cygwin bug fix release of 3.4.2-1 https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?31641 With a work around at the previous crash when running - graphics_toolkit (fltk) x=1:10; plot(x,x) print(fltk.png,-dpng) - please test on the various MS system and confirm that the workaround is effective. Fully tested on XP-SP3 and recent cygwin snapshots. KNOWN BUGS On cygwin-1.7.9 the plotting function is working very bad. This is due to a fork bug and is not an octave bug. Any cygwin snapshots after 2011-06-01 solve the issues, so the next cygwin-1.7.10 will definetely remove the bug. HOW TO INSTALL Running cygwin setup, at Select Packages window, select Exp instead of Curr on the upper right corner. This selection will make version 3.4.2-2 available instead of current 3.4.2-1.

No, that is likely due to the new experimental subversion-1.7.0rc3-1 release which will be announced soon. These are new dependencies for 1.7.0-rc3, but since the Cygwin setup program doesn't support different dependencies for different versions of a package, it will attempt to install them if you have subversion-1.6.17-1 installed. -- David Rothenberger daver...@acm.org -- 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: atool-0.38.0-1
A new version of atool, 0.38.0-1, is now available in the Cygwin distribution. This is a new upstream release, with bug fixes. Please see http://www.nongnu.org/atool/NEWS for the full changelog. atool is a script for managing file archives of various types (tar, tar+gzip, zip, bzip2, rar, 7zip, ...). atool is called under several names: * aunpack extracts files from an archive. It overcomes the dreaded multiple files in archive root problem by first extracting to a unique subdirectory, and then moving back the files if possible. aunpack also prevents local files from being overwritten by mistake. * apack creates archives. * als lists files in archives. * acat extracts files to standard out. * adiff generates a diff between archives. * arepack converts between archive formats.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] [TEST] Updated: subversion-1.7.0rc3-1
A new version of subversion is available. This is a major new upstream release. This release candidate is expected to become the final release on or around Sept. 28, barring show-stopping bugs. USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! The Apache Subversion team says the following: Even though we feel that this release is ready for widespread testing by the community, some things may still change before the final release. Of particular note, please remember than persistent data, such as the working copy or repository formats may change before the final release, and there may not be an upgrade path from the pre-releases to the final. For this reason, this release is marked experimental at this time. NEWS: = See CHANGES (URL below) for more information about the differences between 1.6.17 and previous Subversion releases. IMPORTANT: This release has a new working copy format. To use this release, you must manually upgrade your working copy format, rendering it unusable with previous major releases. Please see the release notes http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.7.html for more details about the changes in Subversion. See http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/tags/1.7.0-rc3/CHANGES for more details about the changes in 1.7.0.

tar deletes .exe files on extraction (again)
In the process of trying to build Qt on Windows in a cygwin shell, I've discovered that neither tar nor unzip will work reliably under Cygwin - untaring an archive will not correctly create the files that the archive contains. The configure.exe that's required to build Qt is never extracted from the tarball. The problem is that the cygwin filesystem shims consider configure and configure.exe to be almost the same, despite their having different filenames, so when tar extracts an archive containing both it ends up deleting the existing configure.exe when it creates configure. This was discussed a couple of years ago - http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-08/msg00293.html - and the conclusion seemed to be that cygwin was working as designed, and the user just shouldn't ever be doing anything that requires both foo and foo.exe under cygwin, and that if they do want to do that, they probably shouldn't be using cygwin. That seems like a fairly nasty limitation / bug, and makes use of the cygwin shell a bit too brittle to rely on for build automation - I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's been any change in the situation since then?

No, no change and probably not likely to be anytime soon. By using the Windows build environment for QT, you're trying to force a Windowsism into Cygwin's POSIX environment. The transparency of the .exe extension is already a concession to a Windowsism, namely that executables must have a .exe extension. Cygwin needed to support this one though to make allot of POSIX scripts work without alteration. That may cause breakage in corner cases like the QT Windows build environment but that's the (far) lesser of two evils. Cygwin's striving to provide a POSIX environment in a Win32 environment after all. I know nothing about the QT build environment but from what you've said, it doesn't sound like it's assuming a POSIX environment for building on Windows. I'd recommend sticking with tools that conform to the Windows requirements if you're building for Windows. That said, going forward, there may come a day when all Cygwin executables no longer have the .exe extension, which was really an interoperability concession to Windows 9x/Me platforms. Cygwin 1.7 doesn't support 9x/Me, so the concession is now largely a historical one and could possibly be changed. But even if it were to happen, it would be a big undertaking due to the number of Cygwin packages that would be affected (i.e. all). It would take quite a while to trickle down to the majority of packages. And only at that point might it make sense to remove the transparent handling of exe. So that brings me back to my opening statement. :-) -- Larry _ A: Yes. Q: Are you sure? A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.

[SECURITY] Updated: {apr1,libapr1,libapr1-devel}-1.4.5-1
apr1 has been updated to the latest upstream release. It includes a fix for CVE-2011-1928. CYGWIN NEWS: This build has enabled F_SETLK support.

The library was built with TCP_NOPUSH support disabled. Cygwin defines TCP_NOPUSH, but returns protocol not defined when it's used. According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms738596%28v=vs.85%29.aspx this is because Windows doesn't support it.
