Ok, but we need to decide: Is this going to be user-edited, or setup-edited? I.e., there is no point in allowing comments, if they get removed every time setup re-writes the file. There is probably no harm in allowing comments, just have the first one written by setup warn that the file is generated by setup so manual changes will be overwritten. Being able to tweak it manually would be useful even if it is replaced by setup each run. For example, it would be an easy way to temporarily remove a mirror. Keeping /etc/setup/timestamp separate might still be useful. Also, what do we do about multi-valued items - e.g. which mirrors are selected. (Or do we just continue with the legacy storage for last-mirror/last-cache/timestamp?) I'd prefer to see all the persistent setup information in one place.

C:\autoexec.bat (where PATH was set in earlier versions of Windows) consists of one SET BLASTER=string command followed by gibberish. Your c:\autoexec.bat may be corrupted. I think Win98 and WinME still use autoexec.bat for setting global environment variables. It should be a text file in any case. Adding c:\cygwin\bin to your global %PATH% is useful for normal operations, but it should not affect setup.exe or any postinstall scripts. Should I be running SETUP.EXE via a Windows shortcut in order to set a PATH private to that DOS window? If so, what settings are needed? It shouldn't matter.

Re: Perl package File::Spec confused under cygwin

Conceivably, one could view the mount point itself as a local host name for the volume (local, remote or a device) with path being location on the mounted fs. device != volume. For the purposes of File::Spec, it would be better to leave the directory structure as a single tree. It is arbitrary to choose to see the /fs as one giant undifferentiated tree. But that is the convention used by Unix and hence Cygwin. You can distinguish which device a file or directory is in by using the first element returned by stat(), but that doesn't affect the file spec. You can always call File::Spec::Win32 - splitpath() to get that behavior. --- Well, for 'portability' one shouldn't call ::OS anything. The purpose of File::Spec was to provide a OS independent way to deconstruct/construct pathnames into their separate components. Portability is a worthy goal, but sometimes you have to accomodate your specific environment, that's why $^O is available. It does, but File::Spec::Cygwin is very close to File::Spec::Unix. --- Yeah...got that. I guess most immediate fix would be to fix the Cygwin version to differentiate things... then if it was important, one could split the path to mount:path for more useful, yet spec-compatible functionality. If you submit a Perl bug report with a patch that does what you want and explains why you want it, it is likely to get included in the next release of Perl.

For example, a 'splitpath' can product a volume $dir and $file. Note that Cygwin, like Unix, doesn't have a concept of volume. Everything except network paths (//host/dir) are based on a single root directory. I'm not sure what constitutes a volume but I'd think C: D: would count as separate. Mixed file specifications like c:/x/y/z are handled by many programs in the Cygwin environment, but such paths are not really valid. File::Spec::Win32 accepts '/' as well as '\' as a directory separator. Under cygwin, it only handles/parses unix pathnames but not native windows pathnames 'c:\windows\filename' will yield a vol='', dir='' and filename='d:\windows\filelname' -- not what one would expect. Using forward slashes yields: vdf='', 'd:/windows/,'filename'. That's exactly the situation. File::Spec::Cygwin for Perl 5.8 only overrides file_name_is_absolute() and canonpath(); other than that it's pure File::Spec::Unix. I'm sure the Perl Porters would be willing to examine a patch to handle mixed specs. Further use to break down the directory path into components would yield D: as a first directory and 'windows' as a 2nd level dir. Note that the forward slash has now disappeared indicating what I believe to be improper symantics as d:windows != D:\windows unless d:'s curdir is = to the root dir. You can always call File::Spec::Win32 - splitpath() to get that behavior. Guess when the module detects the OS type, it needs to have a separate type for the cygwin environment.

Re: Cygwin: name of an lwp-request script (HEAD) clashes with /bin/head

On Cygwin, the name HEAD clashes with an existing program, /bin/head.exe (Cygwin assumes a .exe extension if it cannot find a program, so /bin/head normally invokes /bin/head.exe). Windows mostly disallows files with the same name in different cases, unlike Unix, which has no trouble distinguishing between HEAD and head. So, to accommodate the users of Cygwin and others using case-insensitive filesystems, can the scripts GET, HEAD, and POST be renamed to GET.pl, HEAD.pl, and POST.pl? Would this break a lot of existing functionality? Thank you. Igor Pechtchanski P.S. I've cc'd the cygwin mailing list, as this is relevant to Cygwin. Lwp-request strips both directory name and extension before it uses $progname to determine $method, so adding an extension to the alias names shouldn't bother lwp-request.

Basically, Cygwin's getmntent() returns either user or system as the fstype, whereas on other systems (Linux, etc) the fstype is the type of the filesystem (cdrom, nfs, local, etc). I was proposing a change to make the user/system distinction part of mnt_opts, and set the type field to whatever's returned by GetVolumeInformation(). This method is called in path.cc anyway, to distinguish Samba filesystems... It sounds like a good idea to me. I found the current values being used in a few places. newlib/libc/sys/linux/fstab.c Just passing the value through. newlib/libc/sys/linux/mntent_r.c Extracting the value from a string. I'm not sure where the string is created, possibly path.cc. winsup/cygwin/path.cc Converts bits in flags to string (user or system). winsup/utils/cygcheck.cc Prints whatever it finds in mnt-mnt_type. winsup/utils/mount.cc Uses current values of mnt_type several places. winsup/utils/path.cc Converts m-issys to string (user or system). winsup/utils/umount.cc Tests p-mnt_type for current values. It looks like the main confusion would come from people parsing the output from cygcheck or mount and expecting the current values of user or system. -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.

It would also be polite to trim the address list and message contents. 1. How do you start Cygwin? The main possibilities are the desktop icon created by setup.exe, rxvt, and X-Windows. They all have different interfaces so without knowing, it's very hard to guess. If you are using yet another method, it is even harder. 2. What shell are you using? If you switch shells, (bash to tcsh or sh for instance) do the symptoms change? So far, this sounds more like a hardware or Windows keyboard driver problem than a Cygwin problem. -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.

Re: Resource temporarily unavailable - bash fails but works with old versions

It does not occur anymore even with my new cygwin path and got fixed as follows. I could isolate this problem by getting rid of .profile which was same as .bashrc. Thank you for letting us know. It is a very complex script that has several commands as follows and starts lots of applications using bash to run in different dos windows. This runs several applications simultaneously during the start-up and all these are running .bashrc and .profile at the same time. I guess that's probably why this causes this resource unavailable problem, since all these myapp-commands use cp, ls, chmod very frequently. + cmd /c start cmd /c bash -c 'cmd /c title myapp1; unset CYGENV;. .bashrc; myapp1' + cmd /c start cmd /c bash -c 'cmd /c title myapp2; unset CYGENV;. .bashrc; myapp2' + cmd /c start cmd /c bash -c 'cmd /c title myapp3; unset CYGENV;. .bashrc; myapp3' That's a lot of cmd.exe calls there. 1. Have you tried using cygstart.exe instead of start? It's part of the cygutils package. 2.

Both products mentioned are reputable virus checkers, so it would be nice to get some official feedback on the situation. To date, every alarm about setup.exe has been either an invalid test by the anti-virus software or a virus infection spread by some other means. Send your 'infected' copy to your anti-virus vendor if you want official feedback __just as Elmar suggested__. Just to be certain, I confirmed my Norton Anti-Virus is completely up to date, downloaded a fresh copy of setup.exe, and scanned it. It was clean. The way setup.exe is created and distributed makes infection at Redhat (cygwin.com) or one of the mirrors unlikely. Since Klez is normally spread by people opening email attachments, you should check if you have all received similar emails recently.

It doesn't matter if you chose download from internet or not since setup.exe will only consider what's installed when considering what to download. That just seems like a bug to me. That's what the discussion has been about for the last week or so. After lots of requests for this functionality, the position eventually hardened to it's not a download tool. If I have this right then even removing download from internet does not eliminate this problem. That depends on how capable wget or rsync is. I have not looked into it but if we do remove the download only function from setup.exe, we (me?) should probably add something under cygwin.com describing how to mirror selected packages. So, I think the right answer to this is the standard one patches gratefully accepted. If download handling is going to change, at least Robert will have to buy into it.

Minor Problems with the New Win32 Binary
I just copied the new Win32 binary into my system and started using it. 1. (not problem) The activity log is definitely getting written to file now. Thanks. That allows me to close the window and still have the log available if there are problems. 2. Changing the Message List view column widths from a global property to an inheritable folder property is nice, but it would be nicer if there was some way to set it at the top level folder so I don't have to fiddle with the registry or set it in each folder tree separately. 3. (not new) The signature separator put in the Compose window if Use signature separator checkbox is selected in the Preferences Compose tab doesn't have the required trailing space. 4. The widgets for Configure XFace have disappeared from the Preferences Compose tab. -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
