Two identically-named libtool directories
We have two libtool directories with two setup.hints in ~release/_obsolete and ~release. This is causing problems. It seems like things have been like this since at least November and no one was complaining because upset threw out the _obsolete package in favor of a newer one thanks purely to the fragile sort order directory inspection. That has changed now thanks to last week's problems. People are complaining about getting out-of-date versions of libtool. Maybe I'll figure out the intent two seconds after sending this message but I can't see any reason to have two packages with identical names in the release so I have deleted the _obsolete/libtool packages. Looks like even error-checking for upset is in order. cgf

almost ITA for lapack
Dear all, I built and packaged lapack-3.1.1 for cygwin-1.7 for your review wget -r -np http://matzeri.altervista.org/cygwin-1.7/lapack/index.html as the previous 3.0-8, it includes also blas and cblas.

There is however a final problem: I built everything with gfortran-4 and to solve the multiple linking of fortran library, I was obliged to built a libgfortran.dll for you convenience I uploaded also that libgfortran.tar.bz2 * usr/bin/cyggfortran.dll usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.3.2/libgfortran.dll.a * so the ITA and the cygwin-1.5 version are on hold until Dave release the additional library or someone suggest me a way to bypass the problem.

Saving all xterm output to a file
I am trying to automate a simulation process, and part of this involves capturing the output that is written to an xterm window when a particular process is run. I thought that I had this figured out using the following command: ./run 1 Joiner default results.dat run is the program that I am running and want to catch the output of. 1, Joiner, and default are parameters needed by that program. results.dat is the file that I want the output written to. It was working alright, but then I realized that it wasn't getting all the output that ought to be there. Now, it has progressed to the point that I'm not getting any of the printout statements at all - they don't appear in the xterm window or in the file. What do I need to do to get this to work?

X server causing IE lockups
Recently started using the Xserver and have issues now with IE. IE will become unresponsive. When I kill the xserver IE becomes responsive again. I also have issues with any vncclient sessions I'm running. The cut-n-paste buffers stop working in vnc. Vnc doesn't require the xserver. It's not a showstopper because I can kill the xserver and get expected behavior back. Is this a known issue/limitation?

Re: Saving all xterm output to a file
Thanks very much. The tee works well, and is particularly helpful for debugging. Unfortunately, it seems that sometimes the program will run and display output as it ought to, and other times it will run and no output is visible. I've never had this problem when not trying to output to a file, so I am assuming that it has to do with that.

hi, i just created a new user 'test' in windows and in /etc/passwd, in windows 'test' is a member of 'Users' group. Now when i run /bin/bash as SYSTEM User it 'su' to any user in there with valid shell, but it is not doing 'su' to User 'test'. So, i tried 'Runas' running CMD as SYSTEM user of windows its still not login in to bash as User 'test'. It saying 'Permission Denied'. I just wanted to know that as SYSTEM has rights to 'su' to any user why its not 'su' to user that i just created. Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!

A related trick: $ getclip -u | pipe | putclip -d One might not think of it since the following doesn't work. $ cat foo | pipe foo In the latter example, the shell opens (and truncates) foo for writing before cat reads foo. But it seems that putclip does nothing to the clipboard until the pipe closes, so getclip is finished before the clipboard is overwritten. Also `getclip -u` == $(getclip -u) can sometimes be a convenient way to provide arguments to a command. I find getclip and putclip to be real work-savers. If I have to do something to multiple chunks of info that has to go through the Windows clipboard, they let me repeat a pipe by just hitting the up-arrow and enter.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: git-1.6.1.2-1, git{k,-gui,-completion}-1.6.1.2-1
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 A new release of git, 1.6.1.2-1, has been uploaded. This replaces 1.6.0.4-1 as current. NEWS: = This is a new upstream major release. I'm attaching the release notes; see also the package documentation in /usr/share/doc/git-1.6.1.2/. When compiled out of the box, the upstream git maintainers cater to older cygwin releases, and intentionally disable certain features that have been reported on their mailing list, even though they work with the latest cygwin. Therefore, this build turns those features back on. However, it means that this version does assume that you are not using FAT or FAT32 to hold your repositories, since they do not store file permissions very accurately. DESCRIPTION: Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large projects with speed and efficiency; it is used mainly for various open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel. Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools, similar to e.g. GNU Arch or Monotone (or BitKeeper in the proprietary world). Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. UPDATE: === 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. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'git', 'gitk', 'git-gui', and/or 'git-completion' from the 'Devel' category. DOWNLOAD: = Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html QUESTIONS: == If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. - -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin git maintainer CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO: = To unsubscribe to the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.

However the code on the git push sender side was buggy and did not work when repository B had new objects that are not known by the sender. This caused pushing into a forked repository served by v1.6.1 software using git push from v1.6.1 sometimes did not work. The bug was purely on the git push sender side, and has been corrected. * git status -v did not paint its diff output in colour even when color.ui configuration was set. * git ls-tree learned --full-tree option to help Porcelain scripts that want to always see the full path regardless of the current working directory. * git grep incorrectly searched in work tree paths even when they are marked as assume-unchanged.

GIT v1.6.1.1 Release Notes == Fixes since v1.6.1 -- * git add frotz/nitfol when frotz is a submodule should have errored out, but it didn't. * git apply took file modes from the patch text and updated the mode bits of the target tree even when the patch was not about mode changes. * git bisect view on Cygwin did not launch gitk * git checkout $tree did not trigger an error. * git commit tried to remove COMMIT_EDITMSG from the work tree by mistake. * git describe --all complained

I made some changes to tighten up the way that setup.ini was generated which caused package directories to be sorted differently. That uncovered a problem with libtool, apr1, and aprutil1. There were duplicate packages in the cygwin repo and, after my changes, the obsolete duplicate packages were given precedence over their newer counterparts. I've removed the offending packages and added error checking to upset to catch this kind of thing in the future. So, now, as last week, the thing to do is wait for the mirrors to catch up and cross your fingers that this is the last package problem we'll see for a while. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Re: 64 bit system compatibility
Giacomo Bruno wrote: Hello, I just moved to a new machine with a 64 bit windows vista os . I wanted to install and run cygwin. While the installation process run to the end, programs like emacs xterm and xwin do not work. I also do not get a home directory when I run for the first time cygwin (I thought it would be created automatically). I just read on the cygwin FAQ that ..As far as we know no one is working on a native 64 bit version of Cygwin.. I interpret it like my system is unsupported and I should not expect the above mentioned programs from the current version of cygwin to work out of the box. Is that correct? Is it planned to release a Vista 64-bit compatible cygwin version? When? Actually I'd be happy if I managed to have at least ssh, scp and xterm work. Is it just a matter of recompiling them with a proper compiler or it is more than that? I have had much better luck (to say the least) with Vista 64b and Cygwin than I ever did with Vista 32b, including but not limited to X windows. BTB, at random intervals over the last several years X has been problematical with XP, and Vista 32 b. So far with Yaakov's resurrection of X, things are humming. Having said that I've adopted 'mintty' full force, avoid 'xterm', and only use X when I have a graphical app that requires it.

You didn't say whether you have sufficient RAM, why you would not consider 64-bit or SSD if you are serious about Vista. Not that we want your answer. cygwin is agonizingly slow for many jobs, even on XP SP3. You'll see the reasons in the archives of this group.

X server causing IE lockups
Recently started using the Xserver and have issues now with IE. IE will become unresponsive. When I kill the xserver IE becomes responsive again. I also have issues with any vncclient sessions I'm running. The cut-n-paste buffers stop working in vnc. Vnc doesn't require the xserver. It's not a showstopper because I can kill the xserver and get expected behavior back. Is this a known issue/limitation?

Updated: git-1.6.1.2-1, git{k,-gui,-completion}-1.6.1.2-1
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 A new release of git, 1.6.1.2-1, has been uploaded. This replaces 1.6.0.4-1 as current. NEWS: = This is a new upstream major release. I'm attaching the release notes; see also the package documentation in /usr/share/doc/git-1.6.1.2/. When compiled out of the box, the upstream git maintainers cater to older cygwin releases, and intentionally disable certain features that have been reported on their mailing list, even though they work with the latest cygwin. Therefore, this build turns those features back on. However, it means that this version does assume that you are not using FAT or FAT32 to hold your repositories, since they do not store file permissions very accurately. DESCRIPTION: Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large projects with speed and efficiency; it is used mainly for various open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel. Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools, similar to e.g. GNU Arch or Monotone (or BitKeeper in the proprietary world). Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. UPDATE: === 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. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'git', 'gitk', 'git-gui', and/or 'git-completion' from the 'Devel' category. DOWNLOAD: = Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html QUESTIONS: == If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. - -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin git maintainer CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO: = To unsubscribe to the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.

However the code on the git push sender side was buggy and did not work when repository B had new objects that are not known by the sender. This caused pushing into a forked repository served by v1.6.1 software using git push from v1.6.1 sometimes did not work. The bug was purely on the git push sender side, and has been corrected. * git status -v did not paint its diff output in colour even when color.ui configuration was set. * git ls-tree learned --full-tree option to help Porcelain scripts that want to always see the full path regardless of the current working directory. * git grep incorrectly searched in work tree paths even when they are marked as assume-unchanged. It now searches in the index entries. * git gc with no grace period needlessly ejected packed but unreachable objects in their loose form, only to delete them right away.
