Setup.exe new GUI preview
I figured before I went to bed tonight (er... this morning) I'd upload my latest build and source of the work I'm doing on Setup.exe's GUI for people to check out/comment on/pillorie/whatever. While not ready for public consumption, it does download and install Cygwin packages from the web as one would hope, and is largely feature-complete as far as the new GUI goes. File links are here: http://home.att.net/~g.r.vansickle/cygwin/setup/ Actual files are here: http://home.att.net/~g.r.vansickle/cygwin/setup/setup.exe http://home.att.net/~g.r.vansickle/cygwin/setup/setup-src.tar.bz2 So what's new and exciting here? Previously, setup.exe was a number of separate dialog boxes presented in sequence. I've taken the bulk of those dialogs and made them pages in a Wizard-style property sheet, which allows a number of improvements: - No more hide-and-seek where the dialogs end up at different places in the z-order as you next through them, without resorting to always on top. - One line of code, and now we have a minimize box in the corner. A lifesaver for those full Cygwin installs over a 56K modem if you ask me. - Much of the page navigation logic is now handled by the property sheet instead of the individual pages. So let me know what you think, -- Gary R. Van Sickle Brewer. Patriot.
RE: Units
I've email'd the author - he's blessed the port. I've also asked him to keep me in touch with new versions. -Original Message- From: Robert Collins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 17 December 2001 11:31 am To: Morrison, John Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Units On Mon, 2001-12-17 at 22:25, Morrison, John wrote: Ah, sorry, I reply'ed to the person - not the list.

RE: Units
Oops. Having actually read the new setup.html I see that the @ line is now optional. Okay, so now I feel stupid and I shall see to it that I get a severe beating in order to ensure that this never happens again. Sorry 'bout that.

GNU units program converts quantities expressed in various scales to their equivalents in other scales. The units program can only handle multiplicative scale changes. For example, it cannot convert Celsius to Fahrenheit but it can convert temperature differences between those temperature scales. test: 1.77-1 category: Utils requires: cygwin Thanks for pointing this out.

This hung for me, at 99% of the last pacakge, in download only mode. Can you post a diff to cygwin-patches? Rob === - Original Message - From: Gary R.

I've definitely concentrated on getting the mainline of installing from the internet working. Can you post a diff to cygwin-patches? Will do. I'll see if I can't fix the download-only problem first though, I'm pretty sure I know where that is. -- Gary R. Van Sickle Brewer. Patriot.
