re: ssh refuses to enter binmode (fwd)
Why are you refusing to use the snapshot? I must not have been clear. My message was about how the pre-snapshot released version problem looked a lot like a previous bug. It had nothing to do with whether this problem was fixed by a snapshot or whether I had attempted to use that snapshot. Your comment on the snapshot fix (msg01070) said: Anyway, I've checked in a patch that may or may not be temporary. I'll have to talk to Corinna and decide. I thought that a very specific reminder (about a bug very much like this one) that you had already squashed once before would be helpful to you in the process of patching. Perhaps I was wrong, sorry. -- dNb, founding member of the snapshot appreciation club -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
re: ssh refuses to enter binmode (fwd)
Chris- I'm writing as a user of another program whose behavior broke with the new cygwin update (unison over ssh). I just wanted to pass on info that I thought may be helpful to you when looking in to this for a more permanent fix. This problem looks exactly (from the user standpoint) like one that has come and gone in the past. Specifically, it was in some of the releases prior to 1.3.12-1. You then fixed it in that release as per this change comment to the announcement list (http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2002-07/msg2.html) : - Fix binmode/textmode problems with ssh and other programs which use pipes. (Christopher Faylor) I don't know if the current breakage is related (sure looks that way to us naive users!), but if it is, maybe this info can help you track it down. Thanks for all of your hard work. -- dNb -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

So, apparently you're now just too upset to actually try the snapshot which is supposed to fix your problem. Too bad. I'm not upset, just a little disappointed, because sometimes i seem to be ignored. My personal farourite is the ghostscript7-textmount problem. that leads to some other questions: - is there a list of the maintainers? or where can i usually find the info who maintains the ghostscript-package? - what do i need to do to link against binmode.o I'm not familiar with configure and the rest of the autoconf-stuff. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

All user correspondence about packages should be via the mailing lists. It really should be a public discussion in 99% of the cases. I have your message saved in my inbox to see if the ghostscript maintainer will eventually respond. I hate to bug people about this because it's a volunteer project but, if I see a clear problem that has a clear solution, then I try to eventually contact the maintainer about it. I don't do this for situations where someone says XXX isn't working! HELP! of course. But, the ghostscript problem sounds like it has a clear solution, even if it isn't necessarily an easy solution. - what do i need to do to link against binmode.o I'm not familiar with configure and the rest of the autoconf-stuff. There's no simple answer to that question. You have to inspect the Makefile.in or Makefile.am and maybe configure.in or configure.ac and fit /usr/lib/binmode.o in there somewhere, as appropriate. I'm sure that the maintainer would love a patch if you are willing to track down what's required but, unless you really want to learn all of the autoconf hoopla, it's probably better to just use binmode mounts until the maintainer fixes the problem.

Re: ssh refuses to enter binmode (fwd)
If you need to find out maintains a cygwin package, take a look for a filename like package-version.README in /usr/doc/Cygwin. tail or read the file, at the bottom youll see who maintains it...
