[1] Multiple sourcing of initializations files.

get this error. However, if I call it from a smaller script
(specially written to just call this function) it works
Not a problem under mksh. Multiple sourced files; function work. That is
This sentence seems truncated. In any case, the bug report was too vague,
and I haven't had the time to investigate.
[2] Memory allocation error
/home/tbaker/u/bin/urlists[50]: internal error: alloc: freeing
memory outside of block (corrupted?)
By running the scripts in debug mode (set -x), I found that
the problem seemed to occur when declared functions (i.e.,
declared within the script) were invoked multiple times.
The functions would work at first, then stop working --
as if the functions somehow ate up the available memory.
I invoked function 1000 times in a loop, no malloc errors.
I have a testcase for this one (attached). This has nothing to do with
functions. I think it's a matter of not handling long filenames properly
(an off-by-one error?).
[3] Prompt which gets repeated if it's multiline
keying ESC/ results in
WS-XP-4960: /home/rthompso
WS-XP-4960: /home/rthompso
WS-XP-4960: /home/rthompso

Not applicaple. ESC-/ key combination doe snot exist in mksh.
Multiline prompts work without promlems.
Sure it exists. You have to set -o vi first. But this one I can't
reproduce in the current pdksh, either.
Also, this one was #4 -- you missed #3, which was about tab completion and
quoting spaces and special characters (which is reproducible).
Since we're testing known issues, here's another one I missed:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-01/msg00073.html. Again, reproducible
in current pdksh.
Anyway, I don't mind a test release of this -- if people find no problems
with their ksh scripts, we can switch over to mksh (and switch the
maintainership over to you).

Dunno. I actually haven't used it much; I came across it when I
wanted a tool for managing webdav resources, but ran into a problem
involving %-encoding of the space character. Never found out if it
was a problem with curl or with the server, but I found a different
method and haven't had time to go back to curl. What I really want is
a tool that can manage webdav properties in batch mode; if you know of
one please let me know. You could do it with curl, but since curl
doesn't natively understand webdav it would be a good bit of work.
For the -O issue: as with any tool that doesn't quite behave the way
you like, you can always try The Unix Way: feed the output of one
small tool into another. Download without -O, then use a shell
command or script to convert the results. Maybe something along the
lines of
$ find ./ -name *.txt -exec basename {} \;.
You might even be able to pipe the curl command output into basename.

Re: Private key file permissions w/Cygwin OpenSSH on Vista
Not sure if you are having the exact same issue I had, but I couldn't chmod the files in cygwin either. Then I realized my home directory was on a windows share. I was able to cp the files to my local drive and chmod them, but the changes disappeared when moving the files back to the home directory. To change my home directory to a local path I ran the following command mkpasswd -l -c -p /home this made my home directory in the local /home once this was done I mv all files from the old network share to the local and chmoded them appropriately and was able to use my ssh with rsa keys fine.

I've been unable to use Cygwin's OpenSSH on Vista w/public key authentication because ssh.exe always states the file permissions on the private key file--id_rsa--are too open. I've used the chmod.exe utility to change the permissions on the id_rsa file to 600, but ssh.exe still pops up with the same error message. I've also used Windows' cacls.exe command to alter the ACLs for the file to be ONLY read-accesible to the current user, and the same thing happens. This behavior DOES NOT occur on XP and 2000 when I try it, i. e. chmod.exe WORKS on these OSs to change id_rsa's permissions so that ssh.exe is happy (i. e. to 0600). Is there a specific bona-fide way to set the id_rsa file's permission to always be acceptable to Cygwin SSH on Vista, in addition to the other Windows OSs? I can't reproduce this.

Re: setup.exe suggestion + patch
On Thu, 6 Sep 2007, Lewis Hyatt wrote:
Hello-
Firstly, thanks to everyone who has worked on setup.exe, it's really a
very convenient program! There is just one thing that has always
bothered me, which is that you have to click repeatedly on the package
or category to cycle through all the available actions to find the one
you want. The main problem is that each click causes the dependencies to
be recalculated, which can cause annoying slowdowns if you're trying to
do something like uninstall all packages in a large category. There is
also the following situation which occurs often, especially when you are
playing around with installing and uninstalling new packages:
-package A requires package B
-package A has two available versions
-package B appears before package A in the list
Now suppose A and B are both installed, and you want to uninstall them.
Since B appears first, you click through to uninstall, no problem. Now
you scroll down, maybe several pages away, and try to uninstall package
A. The first time you click, though, you end up on the Prev version,
which then calculates that it needs package A and goes back and sets
package A to Install again. The only way to uninstall both of them is to
uninstall B first, and then A. When there are multiple dependencies
involved, it can quickly get impossible to get setup to do what you
want.
The simplest way I could think of to correct this would be to change the
behavior so that when you click on a Category or a Package, instead of
simply cycling through, you get a little popup menu that asks you what
you want to do instead. This way, you can go directly to Uninstall
without dealing with the intervening options. This also lets you see all
available versions at once, and avoids calculating dependencies
unnecessarily.
I wrote a simple patch that implements this suggestion. Attached are the
outputs of cvs diff (in diff.txt) and cvs diff -n (in diff_n.txt). (I'm
sorry, I don't know much about CVS, is this the preferred way to submit
a patch?). Here is a summary of the changes:
-Created new class PopupMenu in PopupMenu.{h,cc}, which makes a popup
menu at the mouse cursor location and returns the selected item.
-Added #define to resource.h for use by PopupMenu. For now, it just
reserves 100 IDs, supporting arbitrary popup menus with up to 100
entries. (The number 100 is easily configurable in resource.h.)
-Modified PickCategoryLine to open the menu instead of cycling.
-Added new function select_action() to the packagemeta class, which
implements the menu selection. For now, this is done in an extremely
quick and dirty way that simple calls set_action() repeatedly to figure
out which options would have been cycled through. I would be willing to
re-do this in a more efficient way if this patch is deemed useful, but I
don't even think that's necessary, I think it's fine to do it this way
which reuses the already bug-tested code in set_action().
-Modified PickPackageLine to call select_action() instead of
set_action() when the line is clicked.
-Made some minor changes to packagemeta::_action to expose the category
strings as part of the public interface, so they could be reused in the
popup menu.
Anyway I hope this is useful, if this patch isn't acceptable please let
me know and I can fix it or change it. I wasn't sure about conventions
with tabs, line endings, line lengths, etc., for one thing. In general,
I think the problem I have described requires fixing. If you don't think
this solution is an improvement, I can look into fixing it a different
way also.
First off, thank you for the popup menu implementation -- I was planning
to use it for something else in setup, and now I don't have to write it.
Second, I agree that the problem is good, and I like your solution of
selection vs. cycling.
Third, I have to apologize -- I've had a partial reply to your message
sitting in my drafts since the day you sent it, but got bogged down.
A few comments on the patch:
1) It would be great if you used diff -up -- unified diffs are so much
easier to read.
2) Is there a reason you use popup menus, rather than pull-down lists?
3) [Minor] You'd use the GNU coding guidelines for whitespace and
indentation.
If you could resend a unified diff, I'll apply it in my tree and test it
out.

I think pull-down lists would probably be nicer and more intuitive.
Adding this is a much larger change, though, because you have to change
the PickLine classes to paint the controls, and you have to modify the
window procedures, etc. I can do all that, but wanted to gauge interest
first. The drop-down menu way only takes a couple lines, and doesn't
require dealing with the window procedure, so I thought it was a good
way to start anyway. Note that my implementation of
packagemeta::select_action(), which builds the menu, is also admittedly
pretty quick and dirty. It's clear how to improve it, but it works fine
the way it is and re-uses the already-debugged packagemeta::set_action()
code.

Don't like setup for ocassional updates
Folks: I've been using Cygwin for many years (~7-8yrs) and I like it very much. Can't do without it. I'm running a Sacred version B20. No one touches it! I have total control. As a result, I normally do NOT like upgrades. They always cause me more work to fix problems created by others, determine what has change, and fix problems caused by setup. I fact I recently blew away two working copies of B20 because of setup. I need to know some full pathnames to retreive distributions without going thru setup. Yes, setup on a Sacred, running system is evil. No more. Under my release directory, there are several packages sub-directories whci contains files that failed to get installed. Is there a easy way to safely complete the install of these packages. I manually installed the man_conf file so at least it knew how to treat all of my .bz2 manual pages. I know there are still missing man pages that need to be installed. Summary: 1. Need pathnames to distribution files to avoid setup. 2. Easy waay to complete installation of missing components: X11/ cygutils/groff/ mingw-runtime/ ssmtp/ _obsolete/ cygwin/ gzip/ mktemp/ tar/ _update-info-dir/ cygwin-doc/ jbigkit/ mutt/ tcltk/ alternatives/ db/ jpeg/ nano/ tcsh/ ash/ editrights/ less/ ncurses/termcap/ base-files/expat/ libXpm-noX/opengl/ terminfo/ base-passwd/ expect/ libgcrypt/ openssl/texinfo/ bash/ file/libgpg-error/ patch/ tiff/ bc/findutils/ libiconv/ pcre/ unzip/ binutils/ fontconfig/ libpng/perl/ vim/ brltty/freeglut/libssh2/ popt/ w32api/ bzip2/ gawk/libusb-win32/ python/ which/ compface/ gcc/ libxml2/ readline/ xpm-nox/ coreutils/ gcc-mingw/ libxslt/ rebase/ zip/ cpio/ gdb/ login/ run/zlib/ cron/ gdbm/lynx/ rxvt/ crypt/ gettext/ m4/sed/ curl/ grep/man/ sharutils/ Sounds like a lot! -Paul McFerrin -- 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/

Your dislike of setup does not translate into your getting support for installing packages without setup. This really falls into the category of If you can't figure it out you probably shouldn't be doing it. However, the files are just .tar.bz2 files with some extra stuff which is referenced in http://cygwin.com/setup.html . Please don't expect a lot of support for some alternate, error-prone way of updating an installation.

Re: Don't like setup for ocassional updates
I thought is was that straight forward. Consider the .bz2 file under bzip2: bzip2-1.0.3-2.tar.bz2 I did a bunzip2 -d file... and ended up with a file bunzip2.exe which is corrupt. Can't do tar -t file... without getting the corrupt file error. Maybe I just got a corrupt file but I thought I would check things out before continuing to really mess things up. How can I re-get that one file without setup messing up my current system? -paul Christopher Faylor wrote: Your dislike of setup does not translate into your getting support for installing packages without setup.

You're using a Cygwin that was built when the Dead Sea was only sick. In addition to all the problems that people have been adding to the distro, I suspect some defects may have been fixed since. Why, heck, it's possible you're running into one in your efforts to not update. Bite the bullet and update. Everything. With setup. The chances that you'll be able to piecemeal update a few apps to present-day versions while retaining a Cretaceous-era cygwin1.dll and have it be a pleasant experience are zero. -- Gary R.

Use setup.exe and you can't get fooled again. Agreed. And it's no secret for anyone. I didn't say where to get the file from because: 1. The OP already had it, which implied to me that he knew where to get it, otherwise he wouldn't have a copy already (that old chicken and egg thing ;-) ). 2. I also mentioned that he could just as easily use 'setup' in download only mode to retrieve the file. 3. The mirrors for Cygwin are all plainly listed in a link right from the main page at the Cygwin site. But as Chris mentioned, the key point is if people don't know where to get the packages or how, they're unlikely to be successful installing them manually. Since Paul mentions that he's already upgraded (unintentionally), I expect this is all moot to him now but I figure it's worthwhile to reinforce this point once more for anyone who may have similar notions about upgrading and just happens to stumble upon this or other like threads in the archives. Don't ask me how I did that figuring though. ;-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd. (508) 893-9889 - FAX Holliston, MA 01746 _ A: Yes.

Establishing Unix network control under cygwin?
Hi. I've just recently installed cygwin and I'd like to ask a few questions about networking. I've installed practically all the Cygwin packages but I'm frustrated by a couple of trivial little problems. For example, when I do a ping host the host can't be found; I have to put in the fully-qualified host name: ping host.company.com Even though a lookup via the name server: nslookup host works, without the argument having to be fully-qualified. So I set up a simple /etc/nsswitch.conf, as I would on any Unix machine, with the contents: hosts: files dns and /etc/resolv.conf with: search company.com but it's had no effect. I also can't find man pages for 'nsswitch.conf' or 'resolv.conf' in my cygwin installation, or even 'getent', so I'm wondering if those files are even used by cygwin. I've searched for terms like 'cygwin' and 'nsswitch.conf' but haven't found anything to go on. I do apologise if this is a real 'newbie' question. I suspect that cygwin delegates all things networking off to Windows, and so to fix this problem I'd have to do the equivalent of an nswitch.conf entry in Windows land? Which I'm not competent to do, unfortunately. Would anyone care to: a. confirm whether 'nsswitch.conf' and such work in Cygwin? b. tell me how I can get Cygwin to search various domains when trying to resolve hostnames? c. tell me about any 'networking' FAQ for cygwin? We primarily use NIS here, although DNS as well; I believe NIS isn't available with cygwin?
