But since the default path for libexecdir isn't /usr/libexec but /usr/sbin it should go to /usr/sbin. Or better /usr/lib. Or even better, perhaps, /usr/lib/httpd, /usr/share/httpd, ... The fact is, many packages put private, non-linkable, unusable-except-by-themselves shared libs into some private structure. Like perl does. This is okay, IMO. Sure. However, packages that do this should not require external assistance to find those dlopen'ed shared libs. Either they should be dlopen'ed using the full path, or main() should add the requisite directories to the PATH -- but only for its process space, not globally. Agree. So, IMO it's fine if apache puts its private, dlopen'ed DLLs into /usr/libexec/apache/modules or whereever -- but it should not require that /usr/libexec/apache/modules be added to the global PATH. Except for `libexec', agree. Now, if apache's httpd.exe is inherently linked to LOTS of mod_*.dll shared libs -- instead of dlopen'ing them -- then I think that's a poor design decision and apache needs a bit more work to change that to using dlopen for the module-related DLL's...otherwise, where's the benefit of using DLL's? You still need to relink httpd.exe every time you add a new module...might as well use static libs. Agree.

Maintainers of CURL, MUTT, PYTHON and WGET, heads up!
=== == == == IMPORTANT== == == === Hi, I'm going to update OpenSSL from version 0.9.6b to version 0.9.6c very soon now, probably next Sunday. You as the maintainers of the packages who depend on OpenSSL should check, if the existing binary packages will still run when I upgrade. The reasons I'm asking are - the fifth package depending on OpenSSL, OpenSSH, would have been broken by an upgrade. That's the reason I've uploaded a new version of OpenSSH a few hours ago. - The next OpenSSL binary package will not include support for two crypto algorithms which still have licensing problems in some contries, IDEA and RC5. So I'd like to ask you to check if your packages will still run with an patchlevel upgrade of OpenSSL. Otherwise I'd suggest to patch the code which checks the OpenSSL version (if any). The version of OpenSSL is returned by the function SSLeay(). It returns a hex number with the format MMNNFFPPS: M = major, N = minor, F = fix, p = patch, s = status. Accordingly the release version 0.9.6b returns SSLeay() = 0x00090602f == 0 9 6 b and f=release the release version 0.9.6c returns SSLeay() = 0x00090602f == 0 9 6 c f=release Description is in `man 3 OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER'. The situation in OpenSSH was, OpenSSH-3.0.2p1 unfortunately checks for exact equality against the version number of OpenSSL which is linked against: if ((SSLeay() != OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER) exit The current CVS version of OpenSSH contains a patch which checks for the version but w/o checking for the patch level: if ((SSLeay() ^ OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER) ~0xff0L) exit I patched OpenSSH-3.0.2p1-4 so that it also uses that test. This version will have no problem when I upgrade to OpenSSL-0.9.6c. Please make sure that your package will still run next Sunday. I'm not going to use a different name for the DLL since it's not a version upgrade, just a patchlevel upgrade. The shared libs on U*X systems would still use the same name either (libcrypto.0.9.6.so, libssl.0.9.6.so). The next point is, please check if your packages depend on either the IDEA or the RC5 algorithms. If so, please rebuild w/o that dependency.

Preliminary patch for symlink problem in setup.exe
I've found a problem in setup.exe which potentially results in
two symlinks with the same name.
As you know, the default setting for symlinks in Cygwin is using
Windows shortcuts while setup.exe always creates symlinks as
the old-style system files.
Now imagine the following simple situation
- Delete /usr/bin/slogin by mistake.
- Recreate /usr/sbin/slogin with ln(1) creates a Windows shortcut
/usr/sbin/slogin.lnk.
- A new OpenSSH package is downloaded using setup.exe.
Now look into the /usr/bin directory. You will find two files,
`slogin' and `slogin.lnk'.
The following patch is a quick hack which I'd like to get reviewed
by the active setup contributors (not me).
The additional advantage of that patch is that it alleviates the
problem that setup complains when a file couldn't be installed
because the file already exists and couldn't be unlinked before.
That happens mostly when the R/O file attribute is set since
DeleteFile() fails then.
Oh, and I'm using the new INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES define which
I found in the latest MSDN (surprise, surprise) and which
substitutes all prior ((DWORD) -1) or 0x constants
to mark the return code of GetFileAttributes() for ... yeah, you
guessed it, invalid file attributes.

If you could patch httpd to get a new option which differs from the usual run mode only by not forking and detaching the master process, we could start it using cygrunsrv as well. That shouldn't be too hard. The -D option in sshd is really just skipping a function call `daemon()'. Otherwise we could upload apache as is but with a description how to start under inetd in the /usr/doc/Cygwin/apache* README. I'd ask you to implement the above option, though.

However, curl outputs the openssl version as part of its --version output, and it still says openssl 0.9.6b! I've got a question in to the curl developers to see whether this is set at compile time or whether perhaps it could be a bug in curl's treatment of the version number... Look into the source. If there's a call to SSLeay() or SSLeay_version() it takes the version it's running under. grep for OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER. If it's just used as is in a printf() somewhere, curl reports the version it's linked against. The second is bad style. It should print either the current version using one of the above calls or it should report both versions, the linked and the current one. Anyway, it's good to hear that it still works.

The *only* quibble I have is that the binary package contains this file: /etc/wgetrc Since it is just a copy of /usr/doc/wget-1.7.1/sample.wgetrc, you should probably just add some logic to your postinstall shell script: if [ ! -f /etc/wgetrc ]; then cp /usr/doc/wget-1.7.1/sample.wgetrc /etc/wgetrc fi Of course, future versions must take care to change the /usr/doc/wget-1.7.1/ path in that script... I agree. It's some months ago when somebody complained on the cygwin mailing list that each new openssh version overwrites the config files which has been changed by the user with so much love in detail... It's actually better the package only installs new config files if there don't exist old ones. That's best handled in the postinstall script. I'm just still thinking about the following situation. Sometimes a package changes the config file layout or some other important detail has been removed or has been added. How do we inform the user? Rpm packages often rename the old config file to foo.conf.rpmsave or foo.conf.rpmold and the admin gets mail about an important change in package foo. We don't have the mail mechanism at hand so...

In my original email to this thread, I summarized the three packaging styles (I won't call them standards) that are currently, actually, in use.

OTOH, since the longwinded discussion last November (and its resolution sans an actual standard), Robert and I (and a few others) have been standardizing one way (which was a compromise in and of itself). So there are only 3 extant styles, not 47. Which is something.

They are, in effect, forks of the antecedent project. There is no way, given just gcc-2.95.3-5-src.tar.bz2, to revert to the 'original' source -- short of also downloading the 2.95.3 source from www.gcc.org, unpacking both, and doing 'diff -r cygwin-version-of-gcc gnu-version-of-gcc'. Granted, new packages should never be style 2. But style 2 is in use. I'm talking about style 2. I'm using it for my packages. I don't see a need that the Cygwin package needs the patch from the original version. The pristine source is available elsewhere. We're responsible for the Cygwin version. In the long run the maintainer of a package should try to get his/her changes back into the main trunk anyway (I know, I never did that for inetutils). So the whole point is to get rid of the extra Cygwin patch and to offer the pristine sources anyway since they already contain the Cygwin patches. E.g the openssh sources are the original sources, just repacked to untar into the correct source dir according to our standards.
