git/cygwin-packages package repo http URLs incorrect and fail

[Brian Inglis]

In the URLs shown for git/cygwin-packages repo access:

URL git://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/PKG.git
http://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/PKG.git
ssh://cygwin@cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/PKG.git

the web URL fails and should be:

https://cygwin.com/git/?p=git/cygwin-packages/PKG.git

as in the PKG links in the git/cygwin-packages list.

Can't find a ref in the ...htdocs... or I would submit a patch.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: setup (2.917)

[© Fxzx mic]

Hello,
Sorry, I just want to ask the author first. I don't know this rule. Sorry.

After installing (or updating) through the GUI, the program will finally have 
two check boxes to choose whether to create shortcuts, and the default status 
of these two check boxes is checked. I just want to know how to cancel this 
default behavior.
I want to know where this behavior is written in the setup program source code.

Thanks.

Hi,

bottom posting on this mailing list, please.


Can you please clarify with an example ?
Which shortcut do you mean ?

Maybe you should look on the Command Line options for already available
options :

$ ./setup-x86_64.exe --help
Cygwin setup 2.917

Command Line Options:

...
  -d --no-desktop   Disable creation of desktop shortcut
...


Regards
Marco

Which part of the program needs to be changed?

主题: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: setup (2.917)

A new version of Setup (2.917) has been uploaded to:

  https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe  (64 bit version)
  https://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe (32 bit version)

Changes compared to 2.915:

- Show a warning if running on a deprecated Windows version

Support for:
- Windows 6.0 (Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008)
- 32-bit Windows (including WoW64)
in Cygwin is deprecated and will be removed in the next major version,
sometime this year.

This warning can be disabled with the '--no-warn-deprecated-windows' or
'-w' option, or using a "In the future, do not show me this dialogue
box" checkbox.

- Fix setup silently exiting if elevated and 'CYGWIN=winsymlinks:lnk' is
in the environment (by ignoring that environment variable)
   Addresses: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2022-January/250523.html

- Fix creating bogus versions of obsoleted packages (under certain
specific circumstances), which then fail to download because they don't
exist!
   Addresses: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2022-January/250604.html

For instructions on obtaining and building the source code for setup,
see https://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/setup.html

Please send bug reports, as usual, to the public mailing list cygwin AT
cygwin DOT com.

Hi Jon,

Thanks for reporting this.

This seems to be a crash which occurs if you're not using 'download and 
install' mode, and have cached setup.ini files from multiple mirrors, 
and those differ in if any install package for a given source package is 
available.


I've uploaded an updated setup with an attempted fix for this:

   https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.917-3-g489d9c.x86_64.exe
   https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.917-3-g489d9c.x86.exe

Perhaps you could try that and see if it improves things for you?


It does. That's fixed it. Thank you for your prompt response.

cygport problem with pkg name starting with number

[Marco Atzeri]

It is not a huge number of case as we have only two packages
in this category 4ti2 and 2048-cli

on   /usr/share/cygport/lib/pkg_pkg.cygpart

there is this code using indirect variable assignment
as ${!dbg_contents_var}

--
local dbg_contents_var=${PN//[-+\.]/_}_debuginfo_CONTENTS;

__step "${PN}-debuginfo-${PVR}.tar.xz";
mkdir -p ${distdir}/${PN}/${PN}-debuginfo;
tar Jcvf 
${distdir}/${PN}/${PN}-debuginfo/${PN}-debuginfo-${PVR}.tar.xz \

usr/*/debug/ ${autoloaddir} ${!dbg_contents_var} \
| tee ${T}/.${PN}-debuginfo.lst \
|| error "Debuginfo package creation failed: ${PN}-debuginfo"

--

that produces

/usr/share/cygport/lib/pkg_pkg.cygpart: line 197: 
4ti2_debuginfo_CONTENTS: bad substitution


Any idea how to overcome the issue in cygport code ?

Of course I can just rename the package lib4ti2 and solve the issue ;-)

Marco
