Fundraising for new computer
Cygwin/X users, Last fall, with Jon's technical assistance, I took on updating the long-unmaintained Cygwin/X and released X11R7.4. Since then we have released over 30 package updated, including six patch revisions to the server. Work on preparing X.Org Server 1.6 and GNOME 2.26 for Cygwin 1.7 was well underway, but I have now hit a major snag. I regret to inform you that my computer is down and needs to be replaced. The power supply went, and as a proprietary computer (surplussed by a client a few years ago), the case and power supply are not of the standard ATX form factor. The only replacement option appears to be from the manufacturer itself, but it turns out that both the original and replacement parts are both relatively expensive and somewhat underpowered. (No wonder the original went!) I considered transplanting the computer into an old ATX case, but the case is manufactured in such a way that the motherboard cannot be extracted. So now I'm left to building from scratch. I would like to thank those who donated last fall on cgf's behest after the Cygwin/X transition. What now remains will go towards a new computer, but I need a few hundred more CAD in order to get a computer that will allow me to continue development for Cygwin 1.7 and update the many packages which were available until now. Donations may be made through PayPal; go to http://cygwinports.org/ or http://cygwin.com/donations.html and click on the Make A Donation button. Thank you for your support.

Xinerama
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Jon, Looking further into Xinerama, I think I brushed it off too early. It is *very* widely supported[1], and while XRandR is supposed to replace it, actual implementation and usage may be some time off. I also think that there may be some potential flaws in windowed multiplemonitor mode that Xinerama support would fix. While the current behaviour makes sense in multiwindow mode, I'm not sure that it does in windowed mode. Since X window managers have no sense of what is really happening in that case, placing a dialog in the centre of the X display could easily land on the seam between two monitors. (I know, I tried it.) With Xinerama support, however, they would have the necessary information to DTRT. I think that the implementation may be simpler than we thought. To see the situation as it stands: 1) Build and install xineramaproto; 2) Remove the --disable-xinerama flag from xorg-server and rebuild; 3) Build and install libXinerama; 4) Remove --without-xinerama from xdpyinfo and rebuild. For this example, on my single-head system I launched XWin with: X +xinerama -nodecoration -screen 0 640x480 -screen 1 640x480+640+0 This gives :0.0 and :0.1 side-by-side. If you have a multihead system, you could just as easily run: X +xinerama -nodecoration -screen 0 @1 -screen 1 @2 Now, let's see what xdpyinfo has to say: $ xdpyinfo -ext XINERAMA | tail [snip] XINERAMA version 1.1 opcode: 128 head #0: 640x480 @ 0,0 head #1: 640x480 @ 0,0 AFAICS that implies that the X geometry overlaps. Indeed, if you run an X client, both screens show exactly the same thing, but only screen 0 accepts input. Compare this to -xinerama, where each screen is completely independent from the other, as if you were running :0 and :1. On Linux, after defining the Screens, you must define their relationship in ServerLayout, e.g.[2]: Section ServerLayout Identifier Simple Layout Screen Screen 2 Screen Screen 1 RightOf Screen 2 InputDevice Mouse1 CorePointer InputDevice Keyboard1 CoreKeyboard EndSection So if we were to add additional parameters to the -screen flag, e.g.: X +xinerama -nodecoration -screen 0 640x480 -screen 1 640x480+640+0 - -rightof 0 Perhaps there is a better syntax, but the point would be to set the geometry offset correctly so that the upper left corner of screen 1 would be 640,0. (Hopefully the input on screen 1 would work correctly then as well.) Does this make any sense?

ghostscript: X transition, shared lib
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Dr. Volker Zell, A few suggestions for the ghostscript package: 1) With the X11 transition, is the native/x11 split really necessary anymore? While gs-x11 adds several additional library dependencies, you wouldn't be pulling in as much as you would with the old monolithic packages. 2) The font paths have changed, as I'm sure that you're already aware. 3) A shared libgs8 would be extremely helpful. ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick can use it instead of calling gs(1), and libspectre (used by GNOME evince and KDE4 okular) requires it. If you decide to keep the native/x11 split, this would need to be on the x11 side to be useful. An example of how I did this on the gs-x11 side only: http://cygwin-ports.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cygwin-ports/ports/trunk/graphics/ghostscript/ This should be easily adaptable to a full ghostscript build of 8.62, and with only a bit more work, 8.63.

I did find that it's hiding off to the right, and can be moved back by right-clicking on the taskbar, choosing move, then using a combination of the mouse and arrow keys (neither works independently). While this may be a quick fix, the same happens for every additional program opened, and every time I restart I have to repeat this all again. http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-multihead I tried replacing the -multiwindow with -multiplemonitors.

Additionally, items like the taskbar on the primary monitor cause an equal void to appear on the secondary monitor, as it is just one continuous area that must fit on both screens.

Re: xorg-xserver-1.5.3-2: Dialogs that save their positions keep drifting downwards
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Cesar Strauss wrote: There is a GTK application (gschem from www.geda.seul.org) that saves the position of its sub-dialogs when they close, so they reopen at the same place. Up to now, on Cygwin/X, this didn't always work well: in multi-window mode, dialogs kept reopening a little lower each time, by an amount equal to the title bar height. When xserver-1.5.3-1 came out, I was glad to see it was fixed. However, the symptom reappeared on xserver-1.5.3-2. This is a case of trading one bug for another. 1.5.3-1 had an issue with window geometry ignoring the window decoration (title bar and window edging), meaning that a window at +0+0 (upper left corner) would have its title bar past the top of the screen. So we added a patch to move the window down and slightly right to compensate for the window decoration. But we need to account for that adjustment when the location is saved, otherwise you get the constant offsetting as you have demonstrated. Jon, does this give you enough information to figure this out? A minimal testcase is attached, as well as the cygcheck -s -v -r output.

FAQ: X11 forwarding
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 For all those having issues with untrusted X11 forwarding (IOW ssh -X): 1) First, please (re-)read this: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#remote 2) I can confirm that ssh is hardcoded to look for xauth in /usr/X11R6/bin. The 5.1p1-9 release should fix that; in the meantime, you can add the following line to either ~/.ssh/config or /etc/ssh_config: XAuthLocation /usr/bin/xauth 3) Even if you do that, you will still get a warning: Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated Which means that ssh is going to use *trusted* X11 forwarding anyway, because *untrusted* X11 forwarding depends on the Security (aka XC-Security) extension, which has been disabled by default upstream. Here's why: Trusted X11 forwarding means that you trust the server that you wish to ssh into is not using any keyloggers, screenshot utilities, packet sniffers, or anything else to hijack your connection, in which case X11 will allow it to do whatever a local client would be able to do. Untrusted X11 forwarding was meant to be a way to allow logins to unknown or insecure systems. It generates a cookie with xauth and uses the Security extension to limit what the remote client is allowed to do. But this is widely considered to be not useful, because the Security extension uses an arbitrary and limited access control policy, which results in a lot of applications not working correctly and what is really a false sense of security. This is true even today; I rebuilt XWin with Security enabled and 'ssh -X' into my linux VM, and got BadAccess errors from *any* GTK2 program. More on this subject: http://www.openssh.com/faq.html#3.13 http://www.nsa.gov/selinuX/papers/x11/x93.html Given the limited usefulness of untrusted X11 forwarding, *upstream* has disabled it by default in favour of other security models, but it has not yet been removed. So there are two options: A) Leave things as they are now, with that warning advising people that untrusted X11 forwarding is not available and that trusted mode is being used instead. The warning can be silenced by using ssh -Y, since that is what ssh -X is doing now anyway. B) Re-enable the Security extension together with the openssh update, and be swamped by questions that programs aren't running under ssh -X, and have to tell everyone that ssh -X is generally broken anyway and they should be using ssh -Y instead. Unless someone can show me a case where something works correctly with option (B) where it doesn't in (A), then I may reconsider, but otherwise everyone now understands that the Security extension is not really useful, not to be relied upon, and therefore is not available.

The code which constrains windows to lie on the display does the wrong thing in that situation, so they can appear offscreen. I'm not sure if that's the only problem in that configuration, though but the patch you linked to should be making everything fine once the window is visible, so maybe it really is only a window placement issue. I think that patch was already committed[1], but the code has clearly changed significantly from then. [1] http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-05/msg00210.html If possible, make the display on the left the primary and see if things get better :) I like this solution. :-) I don't think this is a regression against the 6.9 server. I agree it is clearly wrong, though. Windows should be managing the location of this dialog for us, though and should know enough not do that (X programs think that the display is one big screen, and so can't know not to put dialogs on the crack between screens) You'd certainly think so, this is a Windows dialog after all... -multiwindow means hide the root window and use the internal window manager to integrate X windows with native windows -multiplemonitors means I want one big X screen for this display to span all my monitors and is on by default in -multiwindow mode If you want -multiwindow mode, but only on 1 screen, something like XWin -screen 0 @1 -multiwindow should work.

The Bitstream Vera TTF font family has gone AWOL in the upgrade to X.Org R7.4

Which makes me wonder if there are other such cases...
If possible, the stub xorg-x11-fscl package should be amended to pull this
package in on upgrade.
I disagree. In order not to defeat the purpose of modularization, the
stubs only select a bare minimum upgrade path (if anything) instead of
everything the old package once contained. If you do otherwise, then
xorg-x11-bin-dlls would have to select all 20+ libraries, xorg-x11-devel
all the libdevel packages, etc., and I don't want to go that route.
OTOH, if a package explicitly requires a particular font (either in code
or in the app-defaults), then it should be added as a dependency to that
package.
It's worth double-checking I've done the packaging correctly. I did it in a
hurry and I'm not an expert.
GTG. You could make the .cygport a bit simpler as attached, but what
you did is also correct. If you don't mind, I'll add this to Ports SVN.
Since this is already in Debian etch, I'll proceed to upload. Please

Glad to hear it.
I have a question regarding packaging library only packages like for
example your libXmu package.
The setup hint file contains the following lines:
category: _source
sdesc: X.Org miscellaneous utility libraries (source)
ldesc: X.Org miscellaneous utility libraries
The proposed _source category was dropped; both sourceware release/ and
Ports SVN have been changed since.
category: X11
sdesc: X.Org miscellaneous utility libraries (source)
ldesc: X.Org miscellaneous utility libraries
This is correct.
Right now I have for my Xaw3D package the following cygport snippet:
abi=7
PKG_NAMES=${PN} lib${PN}${abi} lib${PN}-devel
PKG_HINTS=setup runtime devel
PKG_CONTENTS[0]= # empty
PKG_CONTENTS[1]=
usr/bin/*-${abi}.dll
usr/share/doc/
PKG_CONTENTS[2]=
usr/include/
usr/lib/
Looks good.
and the following setup.hint file:
sdesc: A 3D version of the MIT Athena widget set for X - (source)
ldesc: Xaw3d is an enhanced version of the MIT Athena widget set for
the X Window System. Xaw3d adds a three-dimensional look to X11
applications with minimal or no source code changes. You should install
Xaw3d if you are using applications which incorporate the MIT Athena
widget set and you'd like to incorporate a 3D look into those
applications.
category: _source
Change that to category: X11.
which produces:

Xaw3d-1.5D-8.src.patch │ 90568
Xaw3d-1.5D-8.cygwin.patch│6960

libXaw3d7-1.5D-8.tar.bz2 │ 125753
Xaw3d-1.5D-8.tar.bz2 │ 14 - empty

Is this the right appoach ?
Yes. But is there a reason you aren't you updating to version 1.5E?

Re: X server 1.5.3-2 candidate
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Jon TURNEY wrote: Actually, this seems to be more complex than I first thought. Running any of the mesa demo programs works fine locally, but causes a server segfault when I do it over ssh to a linux box Let me give you some background. You're aware that X.Org was previously embedding the Mesa sources into the server. With 1.5, they moved away from that model and now offer two options for GLX: 1) Use full-fledged DRI, which is Linux/*BSD specific; 2) Load the software rasterizer DRI module (/usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so) and skip the hardware. Of course, we only have the choice of the latter, but if swrast_dri.so is missing, the GLX (and SGI-GLX) extension is disabled. So I prepared mesa-7.2-2 and tried building that module, but after fixing up the build system, I found that it wasn't so simple. The build only links the module against libmesa.a (a convenience lib that becomes part of libGL), leaving several undefined references: _glapi_Context _glapi_Dispatch _glapi_add_dispatch _glapi_check_multithread _glapi_get_context _glapi_get_dispatch_table_size _glapi_noop_enable_warnings _glapi_set_context _glapi_set_dispatch _glapi_set_warning_func My understanding -- and I may be wrong -- is that these symbols are left undefined on purpose, because they are meant to be resolved by whatever loads the module. That may be a DRI-enabled libGL, an X server, etc. But that doesn't work for us because DLLs must have all references resolved at link time. So what to do? All the X servers have GLX support, but if I were to resolve these symbols against e.g. XWin, then the other servers will crash trying to load it. (Yes, I tried it.) So while our libGL doesn't actually use the module, the only neutral solution was to link against all of libGL instead of just part of it, and at least on the surface it appears to work. While the local mesa demos run whether or not the GLX extension is enabled, but I do see a major difference in xdpyinfo and glxinfo with and without GLX enabled. This is the only reassurance I have right now that I may have picked a working solution. Unfortunately I don't have a linux box to experiment with... :-( Yaakov Cygwin/X -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Cygwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEAREIAAYFAkkc0IoACgkQpiWmPGlmQSMvDgCg0vbhFME215uUOCLSs17Uoq+v yz8AnA/SDBJKcaCJkZS997PA2SQALUVt =B8F8 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
[ANNOUNCEMENT] X11R7.4
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 (Resending here because it wasn't echoed at the time and obviously a lot of people haven't seen it.) Cygwin/X has been updated to X.Org X11R7.4. WHAT'S NEW IN X11R7.4? == * Each program, library, set of headers, set of fonts, etc., has its own package, for a total of around 250 binary packages. This sounds like a lot, but most are optional, very small and only occasionally updated. * The standard /usr prefix is now used. Other Cygwin packages that use /usr/X11R6 should be rebuilt and updated in the coming weeks. * Fonts have been moved to /usr/share/fonts. * libX11 is based on XCB. * Support for a number of X extensions which were long ago deprecated upstream have been removed. FEATURES AND NOTES == * Multiwindow mode includes several enhancements: - - application icons with transparent backgrounds are properly rendered; - - WM hints (e.g. no window decoration) are better followed; - - shaped windows are displayed properly; - - window styles can be customized in the .XWinrc file. * The Composite extension has been enabled, with the following caveats: - - Compositing cannot be used in multiwindow mode; - - A compositing manager (xcompmgr) with an ordinary window manager, or a compositing window manager (e.g. metacity or xfwm4), is required. - - OpenGL windows do not always render correctly when a compositing manager is running. - - When a compositing manager is running, the root window becomes a silver colour which cannot be changed through xsetroot(1). Desktop environment wallpapers are handled differently and still work. Here's a screenshot from a local instance of Xfce 4.6-beta1: https://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=99645 * The WindowsWM extension is currently disabled, as neither xwinwm nor the supporting code in the xserver currently build. This may be restored in a future release. * The XVideo extension is currently disabled. There is some skeleton code in the server, but it doesn't do anything yet. * Hardware-accelerated OpenGL (XWin_GL) is not currently available. * XWin uses the new X.Org logo as the icon, and its dialogs have a modern look on Windows XP. * The Xephyr and Xfake kdrive servers are available in addition to the classic Xnest and Xvfb servers. DEPRECATIONS These X extensions, and their related packages, are no longer available: DPS library: libdpstk1 Removed upstream before 6.9/7.0; a compatibility runtime package exists for the few packages still using it until they are rebuilt. DMX library: libdmx programs: Xdmx server, dmx* clients Recently deprecated upstream because it hasn't been updated to the current server APIs. It may be restored in the future, but it's too soon to determine a timeframe. FontCache library: libXfontcache Deprecated long ago and recently removed upstream. Nothing currently in the distro was using it. Font server library: libFS programs: fslsfonts, fstobdf, showfont, xfs, xfsinfo Deprecated upstream. Server-side fonts, used by Xt/Xaw/Motif apps, are still available. LBX library: liblbxutil programs: lbxproxy Removed upstream in 2006. XFree86-BigFont Recently removed upstream. Xinerama library: libXinerama This extension is being replaced by recent enhancements to XRandR. Xprint libraries: libXp, libXprintAppUtil, libXprintUtil programs: Xprt server, xphelloworld, xplsprinters, xprehashprinterlist Long ago deprecated in favour of client-side solutions, this was recently removed upstream. This also affects Xaw programs, as Xaw8 used the Xprint API (in fact, this was the sole difference between it and Xaw7). All X.Org programs have been rebuilt for Xaw7; other packages will need to be rebuilt. In the meantime, libXaw8 and libXp6 packages exist for compatibility. XTrap library: libXTrap programs: xtrap Replaced upstream by Record/XTest, it was recently removed. Nothing in the distro was using it. Other deprecated libraries and programs: liboldX: X11 is 21 years old already! libOSMesa4: mesa now provides libOSMesa7; nothing in the distro depends on the old library. libxkbui: Was only used by xorgcfg, which isn't present on Cygwin and is disappearing upstream anyway. xsetpointer: Replaced by xinput. UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS 1) Before upgrading, check if /usr/include/X11 and /usr/lib/X11 are symlinks or directories. If they are symlinks, remove them manually. 2) Take note of the programs you use from /usr/X11R6/bin; you will need to choose them for installation later. 3) If you use programs in /usr/X11R6/bin which are NOT from the xorg-x11-* packages, add /usr/X11R6/bin to the PATH variable in your preferred shell (e.g. for bash, in ~/.bashrc). 4) Follow the normal download/install procedure with setup.exe; packages are all in the X11 category. setup.exe will automatically upgrade as follows: X-startup-scripts - xinit xorg-x11-bin-dlls - libX11_6 xorg-x11-bin-lndir - lndir

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: giflib-4.1.6-2; Updated: libungif-4.1.4-2
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256
The following packages have been added to the Cygwin net release:
+++ giflib-4.1.6-2
+++ libgif4-4.1.6-2
+++ libgif-devel-4.1.6-2
*** libungif4-4.1.4-2
+++ libungif-devel-4.1.4-2
All known LZW (GIF compression) patents have expired, so there is no
longer any legal impediment to using giflib instead of libungif.
libungif is now obsolete; the utilities are provided by giflib, and the
new libgif{4,-devel} should be used from now on instead of
libungif{4,-devel}. The latter remain in the distro for compatibility
with existing packages, but as libungif is no longer being maintained, I
advise rebuilding against libgif ASAP.

If I then type xterm -geometry +0+0 into the visible XTerm, the new XTerm shows up in the top-left of the screen, but the title bar is off the top of the screen and not visible. This makes it impossible to move the window. I have to use +5+30 to get it where I want. This isn't a problem when I specify the geometry, but does cause problems when I run other applications that open their own windows. Most recently, I had this problem with wireshark running from a Debian Etch server. This is a regression from the previous X11 release. Thanks for the bug report. A number of enhancements to multiwindow are still under development, and a patch for this issue is already in line for the next release of xorg-server.

Then the transition wasn't correctly handled, because the latest mktemp-1.5-4 is a real package. An empty 1.5-5 package should have been created at the same time as coreutils-6.10-1 so that mktemp's mktemp(1) would be replaced by coreutils'. It's not too late to fix that, provided we artificially bump coreutils to 6.10-2 simultaneously. I guess I should have made it clear that these were obsolete packages and hence were not part of the release-2 hierarchy. I don't understand why non-obsolete packages in release are relying on obsolete packages though. In some of those cases, IIRC the dependency was current when the file was uploaded and made obsolete later.

Yes.
It only breaks the ABI (B?) if you do it the way you suggested:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-05/msg00038.html
Yes, the concept is the same: ABI breakage affects previously-built
source packages but doesn't necessarily break API (IOW the .cygport
wouldn't need to be changed, but you'd need to fetch() from scratch).
API breakage affects the programmer, i.e. the .cygport itself would
require a change.
There's really no rule like '-d ${CVS_MODULE##*/}' that is universally
applicable: the module name and the -d option (if present) are
orthogonal controls. You don't want to tie them together.
The way my patch does it, there is no API breakage -- but you have a new
API entry point [the new CVS_DIR variable]. The price of API
preservation is a proliferation of new ones; just ask Bill Gates.
I should learn about API preservation from Micro$oft?!? Are you joking?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Windows_Vista#Software_compatibility
OTOH one can definitely learn from GNOME, whose developer platform has
maintained API compatiblity for 6 years while steadily adding new
features every six months.
I have been trying to maintain ABI/API stability, although I wouldn't be
surprised if I broke something along the way.
The benefit of allowing some mechanism to pass a -d option to the cvs
checkout is that I can ensure that my cvs.cygclass-generated origsrc
tarball has the same directory layout as a make-dist-generated one.
But whatever. I'll live with it. Worst case, I'll manually repack the
tarball and comment-out the inherit cvs.cygclass. Besides, the only
package I know of that has this issue is libgeotiff -- which moved to
subversion a few months ago, anyway.
Out of 2018 packages in Ports SVN, a quick grep showed that 13 currently
inherit cvs.cygclass (vs. 32 using SVN), and out of those, only one
(ocaml-xml-light) has a deep CVS_MODULE. The fact that the sources are
deeper than they need be is IMO not an issue because it is handled by
cvs.cygclass without intervention.
So, it's probably moot for all current packages.
Agreed.
It is sufficient to override the default behavior of the post-install
phase with respect to documentation; that's what the urxvt packages care
about. But other packages (unknown at this time, but I'm not possessed
of sufficient hubris to rule them out) might need to override/customize
some other phase:
IOW it's purely hypothetical. I haven't found a case where this would
be necessary either. If you do find something, I'll be happy to look at
it, but cygport development has always been driven by practical usage.

Re: cygport-0.9.3 in release-2
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Charles Wilson wrote: They were called rollup patches. T.E.D. releases patches roughly every week, and then every month (or two, or three), he combines all patches dating back to an official release into a rollup patch -- and these rollup patches are in the shar-archive-auto-apply format. You can see an example in the current cygwin ncurses-5.5 package (yes, two years old. I know...) T.E.D. also provides the patches to update a 5.x tree to 5.x+1 in that form: ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/ Looking at 5.5-3, all those patches can be in PATCH_URI instead. Yes, that will do. If one really needs to pass arguments -- which I (usually) don't -- there are a number of workarounds: 1. export MY_FUNC_ARGS=(a b c d e); cygport foo.cygport my_func where my_func() processes [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which in this case has three elements, a b, c, and d e). 2. You could do something similar with response files 3. Reduce granularity and then have a few specific functions. For instance, rather than: cygport cvs.cygport custom1-run_test N where N is any number from 1 to 300, instead do cygport cvs.cygport run_test_group1 cygport cvs.cygport run_test_group2 cygport cvs.cygport run_test_group3 cygport cvs.cygport run_test_group4 where each group comprises 75 or so tests. I'd probably lean to #1. If it ever came up. I was thinking #3, but the other methods would work as well. In any event, all of those workarounds can be implemented solely inside a specific .cygport file, without any additional (or intrusive, or ugly-as-sin) changes to /usr/bin/cygport. Exactly. The custom- stuff is a marvelous (ab)use of bash, though, ain't it? Definitely abuse. :-) That leaves only: cvs topdir support postinst hook support cvs topdir: this has little benefit and would break ABI. postinst hook: RESTRICT=postinst-doc was supposed to be a workaround. How was this not sufficient? [*] relocatable. I've ported those changes to 0.4.2, but...they are really, just, wow. Awesomely ugly. I've decided to drop them entirely, for the following reasons: [snip] Couldn't have said it better.

Instead of maintaining them all together as One Big Patch, I find it easier to manage them as individual, discrete patch files, and apply them all at package build time. I do that all the time. Just keep the patches in the same directory as the .cygport, and add their file names (just the basename, no full URI or path) to PATCH_URI. I also have extra files, such as README and setup.hint, that I like to just copy in before building, instead of maintaining them as patches. Again, this is easier for me in the long run. I don't think anybody maintains these as a patch; just copy them into CYGWIN-PATCHES sometime before the install step. I prefer to do this manually so that I'm sure to check/update them before packaging. If there's a better way to do this, then I'm all ears. I hadn't thought of doing it during compile() but that seems fine. src_compile() isn't meant for what you're trying to do here.

Re: cygport-0.9.3 in release-2
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Charles Wilson wrote: Okay, so these are (mostly) your own custom patches needed to port the code to cygwin, and not official patches from somewhere else, like 1) bugfixes taken wholesale from another distro (http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/sys-libs/ncurses/files/) 2) intra-release patches (see ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/5.6/) If it were 1) or 2), I'd suggest using PATCH_URI=http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/sys-libs/ncurses/files/ncurses-5.6-build.patch ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/5.6/ncurses-5.6-coverity.patch.gz; BTW, that's mirror://portage/sys-libs/ncurses/... for short, but you've got the idea. a) my example, ncurses, has a LOT (50 or so) official patches b) they are all gz-compressed; cygport might not support compressed patches in PATCH_URI Compressed single patches are supported in PATCH_URI since 0.3.5. So, in fact, for ncurses (where some of the official upstream patches are actually shell scripts with shar-compressed patches!) I actually DON'T specify these files in PATCH_URI. Instead, I specify them in SRC_URI, and then use src_unpack_hook to apply (that is, execute!) them. Interesting, I'd like to see those patches; with the recent release of ncurses-5.7, all the 5.6 patches are gone. Yaakov? Pretty please? I think you know that I haven't been a big fan of this idea. Nevertheless, cygport 0.9.x allows you to call src_compile(), src_install(), or any self-defined function on the command line, but it doesn't allow for any arguments to the function. Adding that limitation made the implementation much easier than what you were proposing, and I hope that it will be sufficient.

Re: First time packager questions
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Ralph Hempel wrote: Hmmm - I never thought to look there, apparently you've done a lot of the work already :-) And looking at the ports list, it seems that all the libs I was hoping to port over are already there! I'm not exactly sure what you're looking to do with lua, but there are a number of packages there. Is there any value at all in building a package targeted for the official Cygwin setup? Absolutely. The only reason lua isn't in the distro is because neither I or anyone else have taken the time to get it in. And do you need some help in getting the Lua stuff in ports updated to the latest versions? I've been focusing on the X11 upgrade recently. I'm aware that lua itself was bumped to 5.1.4; when you manage this many packages, it doesn't take long for things to pile up. Fortunately cygport makes it much easier. PS. A brief answer here is OK, and then I'll move the discussin to cygwin-ports if it turns out that's where we're going Perhaps that would be best for now.

FYI, this won't just be limited to GLUT; with the modular X11 transition, the Mesa OpenGL includes will be in /usr/include/GL as well. So, how do we solve this? Use -I/usr/include/w32api ? Yes, it's in the default search path, but this will force it before /usr/include.

What could be done is that I update the opengl package with an additionnal directory: /usr/include/opengl that will contain only a symbolic link: GL - ../w32api/GL Then all users of the opengl package will have to update their builld system to add -I/usr/include/opengl That would be a good solution. But I really don't like to push that sort of change down the throat of the developpers that were using a package that was working well before some other package was added to the distribution. Does anything in the distro actually depend on Win32 OpenGL? I'm pretty sure not, but there are dependencies on X11 Mesa.

[ITA] X.Org X11R7.4
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 I hereboy propose to take maintainership of Cygwin/X. It was over two years ago that I started to work on the (then brand-new) modular X11, and it was indeed in consideration of the sheer number of packages involved that I created cygport. Both cygport and X11 have come a long way since then. While there were several delays, both personal and technical in nature, now I think we are (finally!) ready to proceed. WHAT'S NEW IN X11R7.4? 1) Each component (program, library, set of headers, set of fonts, etc.) is shipped upstream in its own package, for a total of ~185 source packages. Sources are autotoolized, but the old imake system is still available separately for external packages still using it. 2) /usr/X11R6 is gone; the standard /usr prefix is now used. 3) Fonts have been moved to /usr/share/fonts. 4) libX11 is XCB-based. This adds a dependency on xcb-proto and libxcb, which I propose to add now as well. 5) A number of X extensions (DMX, FontCache, LBX, XF86BigFont, Xinerama, Xprint, XTrap, and the font server) have been deprecated upstream and in most cases completely removed from the xserver; their corresponding libraries and programs will therefore not be included. 6) OpenGL support is built from the upstream Mesa package, which I have also split into individual library packages. EXISTING X11 PACKAGES: The current xorg-x11-* packages will be replaced by empty transitional packages, and should now be considered OBSOLETE and standing in my name. I will also take the X-start-menu-icons and X-startup-scripts packages, which will be updated to reflect the new locations. I would also ask the consent of the current maintainers of a few X-related packages to take over these as well: fontconfig (Jan Nieuwenhuizen) lesstif (Brian Ford) xterm (Jari Aalto) TRANSITION PLAN: 1) Once approved, I will upload the new packages under release/X.Org/ for easier management; I request that this directory not be used for other packages. 2) Empty xorg-x11-* transition packages will be uploaded, and these will depend on the appropriate replacements ONLY as necessary, without defeating the purpose of *modular* X11. 3) Existing packages which depend on X11 will have their dependencies adjusted, with a notice here for maintainers to correct their local copies accordingly. 4) An announcement will be made on cygwin-xfree-announce@ with all the details. 5) X-dependent package maintainers should check their packages against the new libraries, and rebuild if their package depends on an obsolete library or if currently installed into /usr/X11R6. 6) Further development will continue on [EMAIL PROTECTED] WHAT I NEED: 1) PLEASE, don't even *think* about asking me to ITP all ~185 sources individually. :-) 2) Approval of the addition of _source as a setup.hint package category. This is used for library packages which are split up into libfooN and libfoo-devel, with nothing to go in the main libfoo package. 3) cgf: I would like to coordinate a timeframe with you to do the move into release/ and dependency-adjustment, so that we can handle any upset errors by IRC rather than the list. 4) Write permissions for the Cygwin/X website, and moderator permissions for cygwin-xfree-announce@ list. (I already have upload permissions on sourceware.) THANKS: Jon Turney for organizing everyone else's patches, and adding several more of his own. Colin Harrison for permission to use his Xming patches. Janjaap Bos for pinpointing the font-finding problem to weak symbol handling in libXfont, and helping with porting XWin to the new input API.
