Re: Please *wait* before sending cygwin-announce messages
Just as a thought, could the announcement be a text file contained in the package? That could be extracted by upset(?) and sent when it detects the new version? This would have the benefits that 1) the GTG could check for its existance 2) the email would never be sent until the package was available 3) folks shouldn't forget to send the email (the only thing that they might forget to do is update it) 4) the text file could be appended with the unsubscribe information before it was sent. 5) the package script (sorry Igor can't remember what it's called atm) could either check for its existance or create a stub or... something automated ;) I know that it'd mean changing some programs/scripts (esp upset) but what do you think to the idea?

CYGWIN NEWS: * Routine update Xpdf NEWS = * Incorporated 1 security patch from the xpdf homepage Added the continuous view mode, including the '-cont' switch and the 'continuousView' config file option. At high zoom levels, don't rasterize the entire page - this avoids problems running out of memory. Added search backward and match case options to the find dialog. Support explicitly masked images and soft masked images. Add support to DCTStream for 16-bit quant tables. Don't segfault if the user clicks on an outline entry with a broken destination. Changed the makefiles and configure script to skip building pdftoppm (in addition to xpdf) if X, Motif, or FreeType is not found; changed the error message in the configure script to match. Move an inline function in JArithmeticDecoder.cc to avoid compiler errors. Fixed a bug in the rasterizer that was sometimes causing infinite loops with round line caps on vertical lines. Various rasterizer optimizations. Look for intermediate resize events - try to avoid lagging when the user is doing an opaque resize. The FormType key in Form XObjects is optional. Handle external 16-bit TrueType fonts correctly, using the Unicode cmap. Add class declarations to TextOutputDev.h to work with stricter C++ compilers. Support FreeType's weird include file stuff (ft2build.h, etc.). Fixed a bug handling empty paths. Fixed a text positioning problem in PostScript output. Handle TrueType collections in FoFiTrueType.cc. FoFiTrueType constructor was reporting a failure if the post table was bad - this should be non-fatal. Type 1 font parser was missing a NULL test. Mask chars passed to isdigit in goo/parseargs.c to avoid problems with signed chars. Added more error checking to the CCITTFax decoder. Fixed a bug (computing the MCU size) in the DCT decoder. Change a test in the Splash stroke code to avoid x86 floating point weirdness. Reorganized the decryption code to allow security handler plugins; removed the NO_DECRYPTION #ifdefs. Added a plugin interface, initially just for security handlers. Support color key masked images and explicitly masked images in PS output (Level 2 only). When checking for aliases of the Base 14 fonts, ignore spaces in the specified font name. Handle encrypted PDF files that are missing the file ID string. Handle tiling patterns more efficiently in the PostScript output. Rewrote the code that handles color spaces in PostScript output. Fixed a bug in the Type 1C font parser - zero-length indexes (and zero-length names) weren't handled correctly. Handle shaded fills more efficiently in the PostScript output. Implement the remaining shading types (4-7). Rearranged the Splash color modes. Add the EarlyChange parameter to LZWStream when generating PostScript. Check for zero values in line dash arrays in PSOutputDev. Fixed an uninitialized variable in JArithmeticDecoder which was causing crashes. Treat unknown CMap names as identity mappings (to match Adobe's behavior). Fixed bugs in the XRef parser related to XRef streams in updated files. Added a missing call to FT_Done_Glyph which was causing a memory leak. [Thanks to Dave Formanek.] Fixed a bug in text copying that was causing the last word to be dropped on some pages. Tweaked the image width/height computation in Splash::drawImage and Splash::fillImageMask to make striped images work better. Ignore minus signs in the middle of numbers (to match Adobe's behavior). Missing '%s' in format strings for dates in pdftotext '-htmlmeta' mode. Change the TrueType code-to-GID mapping code so it looks at the standard name-to-Unicode mapping before the ToUnicode mapping defined in the font object. Added a matteColor setting (command line option and X resource). Tweaked the CMYK-RGB transform. Fix some problems in tracking the character position (to match up with Adobe's highlight file format). Handle moveto/closepath/stroke correctly. Check for singular text matrices and font size of zero in PSOutputDev. Clip PS output to the size of the page (avoiding any gibberish that lies outside the MediaBox, in the case where the MediaBox is smaller than the paper). If the line dash element in an

We needed to develop an application that will issue the exact transfer size to the target device as requested. Looking at the strace, it appears that read() less than 61440-bytes gets translated to reading 61440 bytes into buffer and then a subset of that read is returned to the caller. There's a non-portable (only Cygwin) way to set the buffer size after opening a device: #include cygwin/rdevio.h struct rdop rd; fd = open (dev/sda, ...); rd.rd_op = RDSETBLK; rd.rd_parm = 0; /* Unbuffered reading */ rd.rd_parm = 1; /* Unbuffered reading */ rd.rd_parm = n; /* Buffered reading with buffer size n */ ioctl (fd, RDIOCDOP, rd); Note that the ioctl fails if the buffer already contains data, so ioctl should be called before the first read. Also note that in unbuffered mode the usual Windows blocking rule applies, the length given to read must be a multiple of 512. Sigh, it seems that I introduced a bug into this ioctl also not long ago. I fixed this in CVS. Recent code will probably not work very well when setting it to unbuffered mode. Please wait for the next developers snapshot. I just added another requirement, that rd.rd_parm must be either 0, 1, or a multiple of 512. Other sizes for buffers don't make much sense.

Actually, a viable solution for this was already proposed by John W Eaton in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-12/msg00283.html. Since octave adds other directories to the path before it runs, it's possible to create a gnuplot wrapper that uses the real gnuplot if present and exits with a reasonable error message otherwise. Just to clarify, the reason I thought it was a hack was that it was an *octave-forge* script dealing with a *gnuplot* bug. I don't think the mechanism itself is in any way hacky. Igor I don't follow. I'm asking for the gnuplot requirement for octave to be dropped from setup.ini so that when I install octave all of the X11 stuff (through a gnuplot dependency) isn't installed by default. You were also asking what the best approach would be to avoid the complaints that octave is broken once that dependency is removed. That's what my post was trying to address. FWIW, I agree that if it's possible to avoid the dependency, it should be done. It's not that I can't work around the problem, I can. Perhaps a better way to handle it, as you suggested in another message regarding tetex-bin, is to add a comment in the README about installing cygwin/X11/gnuplot and/or setting up Windows-native gnuplot if you want to do plotting with octave. The message I quoted was a solution for the package maintainer, not for the users (though it's possible for the users to employ it as well). IMO, it's not enough to just mention this in the README if things are going to break -- my suggestion was only meant for things like harmless warnings.

Re: Error reported dd'ing close of end of block device with skip
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 According to Corinna Vinschen on 12/8/2005 3:30 AM: Hey, cool idea! There's no definition of O_DIRECT in Cygwin so far, but this sounds like a worthwhile extension, at least for disk and tape devices, but maybe also for files. This won't be in the next Cygwin version 1.5.19, probably, but I'll certainly implement that for 1.5.20. Another cool flag is newer Linux's O_NOATIME, which inhibits updating the access time. In particular, coreutils CVS has already added a -noatime option to dd (a nop unless the system supports it), and is considering moving to using O_NOATIME on directories for ls and other traversal routines, since POSIX allows ls to not change directory atime during traversal, and since listing directories is effectively a read-only operation that doesn't really need to write to disk just to update the directory atimes. If Windows FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS can be used to avoid touching the atime, then this flag seems useful to implement for the 1.5.20 timeframe. While we are talking about wishes, Solaris and newer glibc provide the *at family of functions (such as openat); the cool thing about these functions is that they provide the ability to make directory traversal reentrant since with fd-relative semantics you no longer need to call chdir().

gnuplot dependency in octave
I am starting a new thread on this issue. Quoting from http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-12/msg00319.html : I often use octave and do no plotting at all. Octave starts and runs fine if gnuplot isn't installed. (It complains about not being able to find gnuplot when the plot command is used.) Should there really be a dependency if only a subset of features requires a package? I'd prefer to see gnuplot removed from the octave dependency list. Of course then you'd have to deal with all the posts saying that the plot command in octave is broken. So I don't know what the best approach would be. How do others feel? Tony Richardson As the OP notes, having a gnuplot dependency pulls in X when installing octave, which is not what some users need or want. And octave will load and run just fine without gnuplot - it just won't plot. However, most users want to plot, and will need gnuplot. So, my current view is that a gnuplot dependency is optimal for most users, and that those who don't want it can work around the issue by using known solutions, such as hacking the /etc/setup/installed.db file to fool setup into thinking gnuplot is installed. On the other side is how Debian does it: gnuplot is suggested for octave, not required. Also, Debian has a gnuplot-nox package, which I suppose omits the gnuplot X11 drivers, and actually allows installing gnuplot without requiring X. I think that gnuplot-nox is kind of a neat solution, but even if such a package were available in cygwin, we don't have a way to express OR dependencies. So it would be difficult to use this approach. Also we don't have a way to express suggested rather than required. On balance, I favor retaining the current dependency on gnuplot. I would ask that those with alternative views post to this thread.

} /* 0x2c */
} /* 0x2c */
I'm not suggesting that you use objdump, I'm suggesting that you look at
it's source code and modify it as necessary because it shares the same
code as gdb for reading debug info (the bfd library), without all the
extra cruft of gdb.
So if I download the source code for GDB, do I compile it on cygwin using
g++?
You build it like any other program. If you have to ask, though...

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: xpdf-3.01-1
Hi A new version of 'xpdf' has been uploaded to a server near you. DESCRIPTION: An open source viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. CYGWIN NEWS: * Routine update Xpdf NEWS = * Incorporated 1 security patch from the xpdf homepage Added the continuous view mode, including the '-cont' switch and the 'continuousView' config file option. At high zoom levels, don't rasterize the entire page - this avoids problems running out of memory. Added search backward and match case options to the find dialog. Support explicitly masked images and soft masked images. Add support to DCTStream for 16-bit quant tables. Don't segfault if the user clicks on an outline entry with a broken destination. Changed the makefiles and configure script to skip building pdftoppm (in addition to xpdf) if X, Motif, or FreeType is not found; changed the error message in the configure script to match. Move an inline function in JArithmeticDecoder.cc to avoid compiler errors. Fixed a bug in the rasterizer that was sometimes causing infinite loops with round line caps on vertical lines. Various rasterizer optimizations. Look for intermediate resize events - try to avoid lagging when the user is doing an opaque resize. The FormType key in Form XObjects is optional. Handle external 16-bit TrueType fonts correctly, using the Unicode cmap. Add class declarations to TextOutputDev.h to work with stricter C++ compilers. Support FreeType's weird include file stuff (ft2build.h, etc.). Fixed a bug handling empty paths. Fixed a text positioning problem in PostScript output. Handle TrueType collections in FoFiTrueType.cc. FoFiTrueType constructor was reporting a failure if the post table was bad - this should be non-fatal. Type 1 font parser was missing a NULL test. Mask chars passed to isdigit in goo/parseargs.c to avoid problems with signed chars. Added more error checking to the CCITTFax decoder. Fixed a bug (computing the MCU size) in the DCT decoder. Change a test in the Splash stroke code to avoid x86 floating point weirdness. Reorganized the decryption code to allow security handler plugins; removed the NO_DECRYPTION #ifdefs. Added a plugin interface, initially just for security handlers. Support color key masked images and explicitly masked images in PS output (Level 2 only). When checking for aliases of the Base 14 fonts, ignore spaces in the specified font name. Handle encrypted PDF files that are missing the file ID string. Handle tiling patterns more efficiently in the PostScript output. Rewrote the code that handles color spaces in PostScript output. Fixed a bug in the Type 1C font parser - zero-length indexes (and zero-length names) weren't handled correctly. Handle shaded fills more efficiently in the PostScript output. Implement the remaining shading types (4-7). Rearranged the Splash color modes. Add the EarlyChange parameter to LZWStream when generating PostScript. Check for zero values in line dash arrays in PSOutputDev. Fixed an uninitialized variable in JArithmeticDecoder which was causing crashes. Treat unknown CMap names as identity mappings (to match Adobe's behavior). Fixed bugs in the XRef parser related to XRef streams in updated files. Added a missing call to FT_Done_Glyph which was causing a memory leak. [Thanks to Dave Formanek.] Fixed a bug in text copying that was causing the last word to be dropped on some pages. Tweaked the image width/height computation in Splash::drawImage and Splash::fillImageMask to make striped images work better. Ignore minus signs in the middle of numbers (to match Adobe's behavior). Missing '%s' in format strings for dates in pdftotext '-htmlmeta' mode. Change the TrueType code-to-GID mapping code so it looks at the standard name-to-Unicode mapping before the ToUnicode mapping defined in the font object. Added a matteColor setting (command line option and X resource). Tweaked the CMYK-RGB transform. Fix some problems in tracking the character position (to match up with Adobe's highlight file format). Handle moveto/closepath/stroke correctly. Check for singular text matrices and font size of zero in PSOutputDev. Clip PS output to the size of the page (avoiding any gibberish that lies outside the MediaBox, in the case where the MediaBox is smaller than the paper). If the line dash element in an annotation's Border array is of an invalid type (i.e., not an array), don't draw the link at all (this matches Adobe's behavior). Don't remap small caps and oldstyle glyphs in the name-to-Unicode table - it messes up TrueType font encodings. Pdftoppm wasn't setting the paper color correctly in mono and gray modes (this only showed up on big-endian machines). Missing NULL check was causing crashes when

My preference would be for it to work out of the box, but that is not really the case yet, even if you have the gnuplot package installed. The problem is that the Cygwin version of gnuplot requires X to put a pretty plot on the screen but Octave does not require X to start. So if you run Octave in a Cygwin terminal (no X) then try a plot command, Octave will think that the plot command succeeded, but nothing will appear on the screen. Maybe gnuplot should be giving an error when the terminal is set to X11 but the X server is not available, but it does not. The gnuplot sources already have a way to open a native Windows window for plotting, but that code is not used for the Cygwin version of gnuplot (which uses X instead of the native Windows terminal driver). It would be really sweet if the Cygwin gnuplot could be made to use the native Windows terminal driver. jwe -- 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/

I think there should be some check in the setup that warns *before* upgrading services that are running. Are there plans for such a feature? Krzysztof Duleba I still don't understand how the .exe got to appear... What I observe here is that if a.exe exists, then ln -s a b produces b.exe == a.exe (weird to me) However ln -s a.exe b produces b ==a.exe So that explains how sendmail.exe appears when exim.exe exists, but doesn't explain how /bin/exim.exe appeared in the first place. Perhaps a previous version of ln behaved differently. In that case you might have /bin/exim.exe == /bin/exim-old.exe /bin/exim == /bin/exim-new.exe To resolve the filename exim, path.cc in Cygwin searches for exim, exim.exe, exim.exe.lnk and exim.lnk, stopping when it finds an existing file. Thus both exim and exim.exe resolve to /bin/exim-old.exe That would explain what you observed. You may amuse yourself by typing ln -s /bin/yes y (produces y.exe.lnk) ln -s /bin/ls.exe y (produces y.lnk) and then ./y Anybody else has a symlink /usr/bin/exim.exe and/or /usr/sbin/sendmail.exe ? If so I will fix things in the postinstall of the next exim release, coming out soon. Regarding your remark about setup, it should be OK to install a new exim-Y.exe, while the previous exim-X.exe is still running. Setup will set the /bin/exim symlink to point to exim-Y.exe. exim-X will keep running until it re-execs following a kill -HUP, or until a reboot (assuming that cygrunsrv is using the /bin/exim symlink). Then you get exim-Y.exe. Doing it that way you can get your server to operate non-stop through an update. However I am not sure if the old exim-X.exe is going to be deleted. Also, each time you run exim-config, it checks if /bin/exim is executable. If not, it sets the symlink to the most recent version in /bin/exim*.exe. So, I don't see how forgetting to reboot after an upgrade and then running exim-config could mess up things. exim-config should see that exim is running and ask if you want to stop it. If you answer no, exim-X.exe keeps running. Otherwise it stops and next time you get exim-Y.exe In no case is the symlink affected.

Just to push the point a bit, note the words non-portable.

Re: open() giving ENOENT when trying to create files with control chars
From: Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Moving on to another non-portable problem, I want to create a file with a space at the end of the name, but cygwin is stripping spaces. Despite the comment in the code, this does seem to be allowed (though I suspect it may be via NtCreateFile only, since windows commands don't seem to handle filenames with spaces at the end well). I tried this: Windows strips trailing spaces and dots (unless the file name consists only of spaces). You need a managed mount to preserve those; otherwise foo , foo., foo. . . . , foo, and a bunch of other spellings all refer to the same file. Unlike in the other case (non-portable characters, which POSIX allows an implementation to reject), the stripping of trailing '.' from filenames is a violation of POSIX, but since Windows is the culprit, cygwin cannot avoid it (except with the overhead of managed mounts). -- Eric Blake -- 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/

I looked into the Cygwin/X FAQ and there seems to be no guideline for this, but other applications (for instance nedit) are placed in the X11R6 subtree, and XEmacs which works with or without X is under the top subtree. I rather have xpdf under the X11R6 subtree, unless I'm mistaken and it also works w/o X11. There's precedent for putting it in /usr/bin. Check out other distros. FC4 puts it there. I seem to recall an old comment (not from this list) suggesting that separating X and console binaries is deprecated. I could be wrong about that though. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

backing up Cygwin
Hi, what is a good way to backup Cygwin? Through Cygwin, through Windows? Won't I lose the file permissions on files with Windows backup? And turn groups/owners all into how about TGZip or BZIP2 everything from cygwin, is that the best way? I have about 1gig of Cygwin stuff now. -Robert -- 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/

According to Robinson, Mark on 8/23/2005 1:45 AM:
howdy
so I downloaded the cygwin bash source and built it without
multibyte
character support and guess what? no bug.
So does cygwin need to support multibyte characters in bash,
or should I
make this configuration the default? Being a native English speaker
myself, I don't have much cause to try to use multibyte
character prompts
or command output in my normal usage to know if cygwin supports it.

Re: open() giving ENOENT when trying to create files with control chars

Despite the comment in the code, this does seem to be allowed (though I suspect it may be via NtCreateFile only, since windows commands don't seem to handle filenames with spaces at the end well). I tried this: Windows strips trailing spaces and dots (unless the file name consists only of spaces). You need a managed mount to preserve those; otherwise foo , foo., foo. . . . , foo, and a bunch of other spellings all refer to the same file. I attempted to indicate in the message above that I tried it and succeeded in using filenames with spaces on the end (and *different* files named the same except without the spaces). It seems this is *not* an across-the-board Windows limitation. Unlike in the other case (non-portable characters, which POSIX allows an implementation to reject), the stripping of trailing '.' from filenames is a violation of POSIX, but since Windows is the culprit, cygwin cannot avoid it (except with the overhead of managed mounts). In the case of ., I'm not sure we would want it allowed it even if Windows made it possible; too backward incompatible with those cases where a filename is specified with a . to indicate no default extension be added (e.g. gcc foo.c -o foo.). -- 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/

Updated: xpdf-3.01-1
Hi A new version of 'xpdf' has been uploaded to a server near you. DESCRIPTION: An open source viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. CYGWIN NEWS: * Routine update Xpdf NEWS = * Incorporated 1 security patch from the xpdf homepage Added the continuous view mode, including the '-cont' switch and the 'continuousView' config file option. At high zoom levels, don't rasterize the entire page - this avoids problems running out of memory. Added search backward and match case options to the find dialog. Support explicitly masked images and soft masked images. Add support to DCTStream for 16-bit quant tables. Don't segfault if the user clicks on an outline entry with a broken destination. Changed the makefiles and configure script to skip building pdftoppm (in addition to xpdf) if X, Motif, or FreeType is not found; changed the error message in the configure script to match. Move an inline function in JArithmeticDecoder.cc to avoid compiler errors. Fixed a bug in the rasterizer that was sometimes causing infinite loops with round line caps on vertical lines. Various rasterizer optimizations. Look for intermediate resize events - try to avoid lagging when the user is doing an opaque resize. The FormType key in Form XObjects is optional. Handle external 16-bit TrueType fonts correctly, using the Unicode cmap. Add class declarations to TextOutputDev.h to work with stricter C++ compilers. Support FreeType's weird include file stuff (ft2build.h, etc.). Fixed a bug handling empty paths. Fixed a text positioning problem in PostScript output. Handle TrueType collections in FoFiTrueType.cc. FoFiTrueType constructor was reporting a failure if the post table was bad - this should be non-fatal. Type 1 font parser was missing a NULL test. Mask chars passed to isdigit in goo/parseargs.c to avoid problems with signed chars. Added more error checking to the CCITTFax decoder. Fixed a bug (computing the MCU size) in the DCT decoder. Change a test in the Splash stroke code to avoid x86 floating point weirdness. Reorganized the decryption code to allow security handler plugins; removed the NO_DECRYPTION #ifdefs. Added a plugin interface, initially just for security handlers. Support color key masked images and explicitly masked images in PS output (Level 2 only). When checking for aliases of the Base 14 fonts, ignore spaces in the specified font name. Handle encrypted PDF files that are missing the file ID string. Handle tiling patterns more efficiently in the PostScript output. Rewrote the code that handles color spaces in PostScript output. Fixed a bug in the Type 1C font parser - zero-length indexes (and zero-length names) weren't handled correctly. Handle shaded fills more efficiently in the PostScript output. Implement the remaining shading types (4-7). Rearranged the Splash color modes. Add the EarlyChange parameter to LZWStream when generating PostScript. Check for zero values in line dash arrays in PSOutputDev. Fixed an uninitialized variable in JArithmeticDecoder which was causing crashes. Treat unknown CMap names as identity mappings (to match Adobe's behavior). Fixed bugs in the XRef parser related to XRef streams in updated files. Added a missing call to FT_Done_Glyph which was causing a memory leak. [Thanks to Dave Formanek.] Fixed a bug in text copying that was causing the last word to be dropped on some pages. Tweaked the image width/height computation in Splash::drawImage and Splash::fillImageMask to make striped images work better. Ignore minus signs in the middle of numbers (to match Adobe's behavior). Missing '%s' in format strings for dates in pdftotext '-htmlmeta' mode. Change the TrueType code-to-GID mapping code so it looks at the standard name-to-Unicode mapping before the ToUnicode mapping defined in the font object. Added a matteColor setting (command line option and X resource). Tweaked the CMYK-RGB transform. Fix some problems in tracking the character position (to match up with Adobe's highlight file format). Handle moveto/closepath/stroke correctly. Check for singular text matrices and font size of zero in PSOutputDev. Clip PS output to the size of the page (avoiding any gibberish that lies outside the MediaBox, in the case where the MediaBox is smaller than the paper). If the line dash element in an annotation's Border array is of an invalid type (i.e., not an array), don't draw the link at all (this matches Adobe's behavior). Don't remap small caps and oldstyle glyphs in the name-to-Unicode table - it messes up TrueType font encodings. Pdftoppm wasn't setting the paper color correctly in mono and gray modes (this only showed up on big-endian machines). Missing NULL check was causing crashes when
