Dear Cygwin X,

I have the following error:

xset:  bad font path element (#2), possible causes are:
     Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
     Directory missing fonts.dir

The font directory does exist:

Also

$ xset q
  Font Path:

Without  ghostscript fonts  xfig  does not get the proper fonts.


The 35 core postscript fonts are now in /usr/share/fonts/urw-base35. 
But I'm not sure what you have to do to make xfig find them.

Let me guess, /tmp usertemp ?

You have extended ACL on the object. And overall, umask is not a good idea in
Windows.

In reality is better to NOT have cygwin process running before

Why does the file /tmp/bar/foo get g+w when /tmp/foo doesn't - I'm not sure
what to look at on my system to diagnose what I may have inadvertently
tweaked. The directory itself is:

It's possible that it was simply a mirror update - there are two ways to tell, 
if you see it again (or if you can remember what the actual packages were and 
the date you did it). One is to look in the history of this mailing list and 
see if there was an announce of a package update on or around the time you did 
the update. The other is to browse a mirror directly (e.g. 
https://mirrorservice.org/sites/sourceware.org/pub/cygwin/) and look at the 
timestamps of the files for the new package which appeared.

The third way, if it really worries you, is to use a private mirror (either via 
rsync or using Cygwin setup's "Download" option - though over the years I've 
found the latter remarkably unreliable) which allows completely repeatable 
installations.

HTH,

umask not working?

[David Allsopp]

Is this expected behaviour:

OPAM+DRA@OPAM ~
$ uname -a ; umask ; touch /tmp/foo ; ls -l /tmp/foo ; mkdir /tmp/bar ;
touch /tmp/bar/foo ; ls -l /tmp/bar/foo
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW OPAM 2.10.0(0.325/5/3) 2018-02-02 15:21 i686 Cygwin

-rw-rw-r--+ 1 OPAM+DRA OPAM+None 0 Mar 19 13:44 /tmp/bar/foo

Why does the file /tmp/bar/foo get g+w when /tmp/foo doesn't - I'm not sure
what to look at on my system to diagnose what I may have inadvertently
tweaked. The directory itself is:

drwxr-xr-x+ 1 OPAM+DRA OPAM+None 0 Mar 19 13:44 /tmp/bar

Patch for graphite2 1.3.11

[Ken Brown]

Yaakov,

FYI, I had occasion to build graphite2-1.3.11 in connection with TeX 
Live, and I needed the attached patch.  I've reported this upstream:

Subject: [PATCH] Don't include intsafe.h on Cygwin

This is a w32api header, which brings in several other such headers
and breaks the build.

Does it schedule a rebase after replacement?

Or it could rename the objects it failed to delete, and use wininit to
cleanup.

Hi,

I use script [1] for years in order to:
- allways use latest setup.exe
- stop all running Cygwin services* before setup is started
- start formerlly runnig Cygwin services after setup is done
- and more

*) services I usually run; feel free to add more services according your 
needs
