Re: Is anyone looking into the file-in-use setup.exe problems?
On Thu, Jan 14, 2010 at 11:33:34AM -0500, Christopher Faylor wrote: It seems pretty clear that something is broken in setup's file-in-use code. There seems to be recent breakage in that an in-use cygwin1.dll may cause the whole cygwin package to not be installed. But there is also, I think, a more fundamental problem. If you can't install cygwin then setup.exe should not be attempting to run post-install scripts since they will likely break. More generally, if the installation of a package dependency fails then the package post-install script should probably be delayed into system reboot. Do I have this right? Is anyone thinking about looking into this or does anyone have any insight into the recent breakage? I've just fixed a bug that may have been the root cause of this problem. I could easily reproduce the problem by running a sleep trying to install. A retry would succeed but actually cause a bogus file to be created. And, a continue would cause similar confusion. I couldn't find any problems after my fix was implemented. There is a new version of setup.exe installed. If we continue to see people complaining about missing files I'll investigate further but I hope this problem is now gone. cgf

[RFC] should cygport use peflags?
Is there any harm in running peflags (-d1 for DLLs, and -t1 for EXEs) on Windows pre-Vista? If not, should I have cygport automatically do this for all packages? Yaakov

Re: git stopped working with 1.7.1
It is obviously a problem with LF to CRLF conversion of cygwin. It can be deacted by inserting the line CYGWIN=binmode on top of the cygwin.bat file. The same issue is happening with CVS. Refer also to http://www.gjt.org/mlist/jcvs/msg01888.html Kevin Layer wrote: Eric Blake e...@byu.net wrote: Yes, as maintainer of the git package on cygwin, I've seen sporadic failures of the git protocol, which I have always ended up working around by switching over to an http protocol. I'm assuming that it might either be BLODA or an actual bug in cygwin1.dll regarding handling of socket fds across forks, but haven't ever been bothered by it enough to try and debug it, because the workaround of http always works. Also, given that other versions of SSH work with the 1.7 git, I would think this is pretty good evidence that it's a bug in cygwin1.dll.

Cygwin 1.7.1-1 Setup.exe version 2.676 fails to install on Windows 7 x64
Greetings, Cygwin 1.7.1 is failing to install on a relatively clean Windows 7 x64 box. I installed this box today, applied the updates and installed a minimal amount of other software (MS office 2007, WHS client, the gimp, inkscribe, pidgin, flash, and acrobat reader). I applied all of the windows updates to bring the box current, then I tried to install cygwin. The cygwin installer hangs at /var/lib/alternatives/.keep-alternatives for alternatives-1.3.30c-10 When I look in c:\cygwin\var\lib\alternatives, I can see this file being created and deleted as quickly as possible. If I exclude (skip) alternatives from my install (and ignore the associated dependency problems) a similar problem will surface with /usr/share/groff/1.19.2/tmac/mm/locale. This file is also being created and deleted as frequently as possible. If I exclude groff from my install and also ignore the dependency issues, the install completes without problem and appears on the surface to be functional. I noted that some other people on the list had a similar issue with .keep-alternatives, and through a combination of running as an administrator, disabling UAC, disabling a dell dll, or disabling windows defender were able to get past this. This is not a dell box and I have not installed any dell apps. I had windows defender enabled and then later disabled windows defender. I tried running the installer with UAC disabled and then UAC enabled. I've run setup.exe as an administrator (right click-run as administrator) and as my regular user (that is also an administrator) None of this helped this issue. I finally disabled windows defender, disabled UAC, and booted Win 7 in safe mode with networking support, and ran setup.exe as an administrator. It still would not install these two packages. It's also worth nothing that after a successful install of cygwin without these two packages, attempting to add those packages to the install by running setup.exe again results in the same problems installing them.

can't umount my /pc filesystem
Folks: I have an unwanted filesystem (NFS) mounted as /pc that I need to get it unmounted ASAP. Here is the mount output: a: /a some_fs binary 0 0 /bin /bin some_fs binary 0 0 C: /c some_fs binary 0 0 D: /d some_fs binary 0 0 E: /e some_fs binary 0 0 /etc /etc some_fs binary 0 0 F: /f some_fs binary 0 0 G: /g some_fs binary 0 0 H: /h some_fs binary 0 0 I: /i some_fs binary 0 0 J: /j some_fs binary 0 0 K: /k some_fs binary 0 0 /lib /lib some_fs binary 0 0 M: /m some_fs binary 0 0 \\linda\c /pc some_fs binary 0 0 N: /n some_fs binary 0 0 O: /o some_fs binary 0 0 P: /p some_fs binary 0 0 Q: /q some_fs binary 0 0 /usr /usr some_fs binary 0 0 # This is default anyway: # none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0 Whenever I try to umount it, I get the error message: .$ umount /pc umount: /pc: Operation not permitted It HAS BEEN removed (sometimes) from the mount command but I can still do a 'cd' to /pc and see my wife's root drive. How can I make this hard-ass /pc filesystem completely be umounted. I wana stay on my wife's good side. A few months ago I did some serious damage in which I had to do a complete backup restore to get out of trouble. Is the Operation not permitted normal. The /pc never goes away and it always comes up mounted after a reboot. Even if the /pc is not shown by /etc/fstab, it still showup in a find operation. - paul -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
