RE: ITP: graphviz (and doxygen?)
If Debian has put it under non-free it does not meet Debian's poliy for main. It's problamy not compatible with GPL or the OpenSource Definition For reference: http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/license/index.html http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/download.html I could not find the license under OSD Approved Licenses. And it's way too longer to get an idea about it without spending several hours with a lawyer 8-( http://www.opensource.org/licenses/index.php Gareth, If all you need in GraphViz is DOT, you may consider distributing VCG (http://rw4.cs.uni-sb.de/users/sander/html/gsvcg1.html) instead. It's graph description language is very similar to DOT's, and it's GPL'd. Hrmm looks interesting, I've had no luck finding an interface to doxygen yet though, which is the only thing 'I' use dot for. I think I'll at least package up a new doxygen for now. Graphviz is still short on votes ;) - reguardless of its legal status.

Just a thought... feel free to leave it completely without any discussion. Perhaps that makes sense. But I'm not at all familar with bugzilla, especially with setting it up for such a job. I just started using it a few weeks ago at work... now I use it for all of my projects. It was very easy to learn. Do you or anybody else have any spare time to set up an ITP database in bugzilla on cygwin.com? Is cygwin.com already running an installation of Bugzilla? If so, I could easily setup the projects and permissions within Bugzilla... if not, then someone else would probably have to install it. Installing it doesn't take much, basically just dumping it in a web directory and editing a few setting here and there. Harold

-multiwindow mode, clipboard primary selection window icon
Hello, Setup : Windows 2000 SP4 XFree86 4.3.0-13 I'm facing the following problem when displaying a remote app on my laptop. When I launch XEmacs, the window upper left icon is sometimes set to XEmacs one but most of the times to the default X one. When the icon is set to XEmacs, I can't select text with mouse or keyboard (pc-select), it's automatically unselected. When the icon is set to X, text selection works fine. Has anyone seen a similar case, is there any known solution ?

When the icon is set to XEmacs, I can't select text with mouse or keyboard (pc-select), it's automatically unselected. In this case the clipboard integration manager and MultiWindow window manager *are* working and the behavior you are seeing with the selection becoming unselected is by design.

While looking at spawn.cc I also noticed oddities in pinfo related
error handling, and reworked them. I also restored impersonation in
case of CreateProcessAsUser failure.
Looks ok except for:

hexec_proc = NULL;
Somehow I'm missing a description why that's necessary and the
implications.
I am getting paranoid. Most often we duplicate DUPLICATE_SAME_ACCESS
without thinking about what access is really needed. It would be a good
discipline to ask ourselves what is needed and give just that. Here nothing
is needed at all.
Also, if you use sysinternals you can see the access mask. Setting it
properly creates differentiating features that help distinguish between
all the handles.

MS says: TokenInformationLength [in] Specifies the length, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by TokenInformation. (which is the pdacl). So they must look at the pdacl, which points to the acl, which could be non-contiguous (there is no talk about self-relative or some such in this case). Then they must copy the acl, up to AclSize, without bothering to analyze the acl contents and remove the potentially empty tail. As you say, it would be nice (TM) to have the source code. Of course in the GetTokenInformation the size must be that of the whole buffer in which both the pdacl and the acl are written contiguously. Pierre
Turning pinfo security on
Following Chris' new signal handling approach and the previous
patch Giving access to pinfo after seteuid and exec, we can
now turn pinfo security on.
It's just a matter of removing the FILE_MAP_WRITE permission for
Everybody, and a couple of useless PID_MAP_WRITE in pinfo constructors.
I have left the PID_MAP_WRITE in the winpids constructors for now,
they will be removed later.

Thanks for the headsup and the patch. Actually I found that it's still
not quite correct. Fhandler's munmap method should be called with the
same address and length which has been returned by a former call to
fhandler's mmap. In Win32 terms: UnmapViewOfFile has to be called
with the same address returned by a call to MapViewOfFile(Ex). So in
the above code the munmap should be called like this:
fh-munmap (rec-get_handle (), rec-get_address (), rec-get_size ());
since rec-get_address() returns exactly that address. I've checked in
an appropriate patch.
Thanks again,

Using screen in cygwin 1.5.x
Dear all, I recompiled screen 3.9.13 after I upgraded to Cygwin 1.5.5. It runs fine, but the detach/reattach still does not work. Not that I am really waiting for it, but I decided that I give it try. It is better than in 1.3 though. It starts the application, and the application can be killed, there seems to be even output somewhere, because when I directed /dev/random to its output tty, I had noise. Does screen depend on named pipes for the detach/attach feature. If so, then I know that I should not hold my breath for it. If you want the main reason for asking this, it is because I sometimes type so quickly, that by accident I do ^a-d, which detaches the screen. It would be nice if we could reattach.

Yes, it goes to std{err,out} of the service. That will be in
/var/log/exim.log (standard) but if you use exim-config to set the
service it goes to /var/log/exim/cygrunsrv_{err,out}.log
The simplest however would be to call exim from the shell.
I worked with Pierre to investigate this potential problem off-list --
mainly for privacy reasons. Our conclusion is the problem is caused by
my company's networking setup and not by exim and/or minires.
My company does not allow unrestricted outbound traffic -- everything
goes through some kind of proxy. In particular, DNS requests go through
SOCKS servers. [1] We feel the SOCKS servers are causing the DNS
request timeouts. This causes minires and in turn exim to fail.

cron problems finally resolved
After much knashing of teeth, I've finally figured out what made my cron scripts fail: In a normal shell, the /usr/bin is in at the front of the $PATH. When cron runs as a cygrunsrv service /usr/bin is at the end of the $PATH. In my case, I had a Windows version of tar that being executed instead of CygWins tar, but only when run from within cron as a service. My workaround was to launch the subcript in question via bash: bash --login -i -c sh /cygdrive/c/foo/backup.sh This is not the first time I've run into $PATH problems between Windows and CygWin.

Take a look at the -e option to cygrunsrv -- it might help.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated Pine-4.58-1 [IMPORTANT]
Hello, A new version of Pine has been uploaded to a server near you. This message contains very important information that you should read before you upgrade. Pine4.58 is a bug release version. The main point of this release is to fix a security hole found in all previous versions of Pine, which is exploitable. An exploit was posted in Bugtraq, so you should upgrade. If you try to upgrade by downloading the source code of Pine and building it yourself, that WILL NOT work. The program will build correctly, but upon executing it, it will corrupt all your data (folders and addressbooks). You need to patch Pine before building it. The patch is included in the source code (as downloadable from the cygwin mirrors using setup.exe, not from the main Pine site). That patch also fixes the crashes found in the distribution of uw-imap and other tools. The patch for c-client was given to me by Marc Crispin. I would like to thank him for sending me this modification. If you don't want to deal with the above, simply upgrade to Pine-4.58-1 from any mirror of Cygwin using the setup program and enjoy this rock solid and powerful e-mail program. To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup, fill in all of the options, and make appropriate choices on the Select Packages screen. You'll need to select the Mail category to see Pine and Pico. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list, http://cygwin.com/list.html. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.

Maybe something like extgl (http://www.levp.de/3d/index.htmlhttp://www.levp.de/3d/index.html) could be packaged for Cygwin to make that easier.

It would be nice to use it without jumping through hoops. Even, with 1.4 headers, you would sill need to jump through hoops to use 1.4 functionality. You will still need to load the functions dynamicaly before using them. You wouldn't be able to simply call the functions as when developing for UNIX.

I would like to know about configurate my hardware(setup) to run cywin manual and so on Understand that Cygwin is a port of the GNU software tool suite to Windows. It includes many programs, including shells, editors, interpreters, compilers, linkers, etc.. If you are familiar with GNU/Linux and the Bash shell, it should be a comfortable environment. If not, I recommend that you read the following books: Cameron Newham Bill Rosenblatt, 1998, Learning the Bash Shell, 2 ed., O'Reilly Associates, ISBN 1-56592-347-2. Jerry Peek, Grace Todino, John Strang, 1998, Learning the UNIX Operating System, 4 ed., O'Reilly Associates, ISBN 1-56592-390-1. Cygwin works fine on Windows 2000 (what I use). To get Cygwin onto a Windows computer, I first download the Cygwin Setup program from: http://www.cygwin.com/ Look for the icon labeled Install or update now! (using setup.exe). Download setup.exe to your hard disk. I recommend the following location (create directories as necessary): C:\cygwin\setup\setup.exe Next, read the instructions for using Cygwin Setup: http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-net.html I prefer to download packages from the Internet and then install them. This requires running Cygwin Setup twice -- once to download the packages and a second time to install the packages. There is also a third option for installing directly from the Internet, but having the packages on your hard drive can be useful from time to time. I also prefer to download and install only the base packages first. I have Cygwin Setup create the Start menu and desktop icons on this pass. I then test drive Cygwin and make any necessary adjustments (.bashrc, .bash_profile, .vimrc, .inputrc, etc.). I then repeat the download/install process for whatever other packages I want. I skip the icon creation process. For your programming needs, you will likely want to download and install packages in the Development category. As for manuals, I mostly use the Cygwin Bash shell. Thus, man and info are what I use the most. You may also find HTML documentation on the web and/or in the Cygwin installation tree (look under C:\cygwin\usr\doc\).

You most likely will need to wait for the 64 bit version of Windows XP to be released to take full advantage. However, the Athlon 64 will be much faster simply because it is highly optimized for 32 bit stuff, that's the whole point. You can have your cake and eat it too: old stuff runs fast, and when support eventually makes it into the OS, compiler, and software, then you get an additional increase.

Re: Cygwin v1.5.5-1: g++ produces Entry Point Not Found error
Sorry that I had forgot to include a cygcheck attachment, here it
is... In any case, the Cygwin v1.5.5-1 is a fresh installation downloaded
directly from www.cygwin.com using the default setup.exe. I do wanted to
point out one thing however, I did encounter some problems during the
usage of setup.exe to download all of the files first into my computer
to install cygwin. I had to make several attempts in order to download a
complete setup of all the files. I wonder if this has anything to do
with the problem because I only found 1 copy of cygwin1.dll inside the
installed cygwin directory.

The guidelines for reporting Cygwin problems are outlined in
http://cygwin.com/problems.html. It would have helped if you had
attached (as an uncompressed text *attachment*) the output of cygcheck
-svr.
At a guess, you either have an older cygwin1.dll (i.e., you had a Cygwin
process running while upgrading), or you have more than one copy of
cygwin1.dll on your system. The cygcheck output requested above will
confirm or deny these guesses. If the former is correct, you should get
things working after a reboot. If the latter, simply delete the extra
(older) copies of cygwin1.dll, leaving only the one in /bin. Be aware
that the other copies of cygwin1.dll may not be in the Cygwin tree.

Are you still getting them, BTW? Did you reboot since you tried g++ last? Did the reboot help? If not, did you search for copies of cygwin1.dll *outside* of your Cygwin tree?

This way, if setup determines that the root directory *it just created* has very restrictive permissions, it could warn the user, or even open a Windows security dialog for c:\cygwin (or whatever the root is) and let the user fix the permissions before creating more directories or installing files. Again, this is all PTC, and I just wanted to get this into the archives for now.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: editrights-1.01-1
This new package contains a small command-line tool to alter the rights and privileges granted to users on Windows NT/2000/XP systems. It works with users and groups, both locally and remotely. For example it may be useful for automating the installation of programs like sshd, which require the SeTcbName privilege in order to submit login requests to the Windows security subsystem. To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select Base and then click on the appropriate field until the announced version number appears if it is not displayed already. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I would appreciate it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.

cygwin-1.5.4-1 breaks fetchmail on Win9x
cygwin-1.3.22-1 + fetchmail 6.2.2-1: This was working fine. I then updated to cygwin-1.5.4-1, which seems to break fetchmail. Fetchmail complains about not being able to create the lock file, but I believe the issue is actually with *removing* the stale lock file (it doesn't happen): 8:05pm [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] ls -l .fetchmail.pid -rw-r--r--1 ord all10 Sep 23 15:38 .fetchmail.pid 8:10pm [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] fetchmail -d0 fetchmail: removing stale lockfile fetchmail: lock creation failed. 8:10pm [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] ls -l .fetchmail.pid -rw-r--r--1 ord all10 Sep 23 15:38 .fetchmail.pid 8:10pm [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] I then updated to cygwin-1.5.5-1, to fix the ^Z problem in 1.5.4-1, yet the fetchmail problem remained. Also updated to the latest fetchmail (6.2.4-1), however that behaves the same. (Seems to be an issue with cygwin-1.5.5-1 vs. cygwin-1.3.22-1). As far as I can tell, this is a Win9x (Win98SE) issue. Testing fetchmail on XP with cygwin-1.5.5-1 doesn't seem to suffer from this problem , though I don't normally use fetchmail on my XP box, so milage may vary from my quick test on XP: 1:21pm [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] 2 0 ls -l .fetchmail.pid -rw---1 ord None8 Sep 27 13:21 .fetchmail.pid 1:22pm [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] 2 0 fetchmail -d0 fetchmail: removing stale lockfile [...fetchmail run output snipped..] The obvious hack that I am using currently is to delete .fetchmail.pid in /etc/rc on Win98, which is satisfactory for me, however I thought it worthwhile reporting the problem. I've searched the archives, and found no other references to this problem, which hopefully just means I'm the first to report it and not that I'm missing anything (apologies if so). cygcheck -s -v -r cygcheck.out follows.

Re: Cygwin v1.5.5-1: g++ produces Entry Point Not Found error
Igor, Please make sure your mailer honors the Reply-To: header. - Sorry, but what's that suppose to mean? What can I do to change it? Are you still getting them, BTW? - Yes. Did you reboot since you tried g++ last? - Yes. Did the reboot help? - No. If not, did you search for copies of cygwin1.dll *outside* of your Cygwin tree? - Yes, I had searched my whole C: drive and no there is just 1 copy of cygwin1.dll. In case you want some source to bring out the error message, the attached files should do. (At least it brought out the error message in my machine.) Ken Ken, Please make sure your mailer honors the Reply-To: header. FWIW, your cygcheck output looks pretty normal -- I don't see any reason for the messages you're getting.

Re: Cygwin v1.5.5-1: g++ produces Entry Point Not Found error
Igor, I am definitely very sorry for my previous posting as I realized that there is indeed an older copy of cygwin1.dll lying in my C++ source directory which is located on my D: drive and not in my C: drive (which is the drive where cygwin is installed on). I was wondering, wouldn't it be nice if it is possible to perform some kind of version check on the dlls before actually looking in a *.dll to see if something is there? In addition, it would be really nice if the error message would pinpoint the location of the dll containing the error. But then again, this is just a thought. Hope I didn't cause too much frustration for you. Ken Ken, Please make sure your mailer honors the Reply-To: header.
