 I don't truly understand how to handle dependencies for development

 /usr/lib/libpopt.la -lbz2 -lz. So, what should the dependencies be?

libpopt0 is the DLL, but the package apparently needs the link libs
and headers, so the dependency should be on the package which provides
them.  That's popt.

 This will not be true on some non-NTFS filesystems (e.g., FAT).  Perhaps a
 note in the Cygwin-specific README to that regard is in order?  FWIW, I
 would also change the ldesc to indicate that hard links will only be used
 on NTFS and whatever other systems support them (Corinna?).

FAT and FAT32 afaik.  Samba is treated as NTFS, NFS depends on the
underlying FS, don't know about other exotic FS.

  /usr/lib/librsync.la lists as dependency_libs:

 It's a bit tricky. You can use:

 $ cygcheck usr/bin/cygrsync-1.dll
 usr/bin/cygrsync-1.dll
 ! D:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
 C:\WINNT\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
   C:\WINNT\system32\NTDLL.DLL
   C:\WINNT\system32\KERNEL32.DLL
   C:\WINNT\system32\RPCRT4.DLL

 Where the toplevel (!) is the only dependency.

That won't quite work.  The problem is that if some dependency is both
top-level AND transitive, and the transitive one happens to be encountered
earlier, cygcheck will not (by default) output the top-level one.  So, if
you see

$ cygcheck foo.exe
foo.exe
  bar.dll
baz.dll

That does not mean that foo.exe does not depend on baz.dll.

You can probably use

$ cygcheck -v foo.exe
foo.exe
  bar.dll
baz.dll
  baz.dll (already done)

to make sure, but the output does tend to be rather verbose...

The problem turned out to be my /usr/lib/libresolv.a. On my old

generic-build-script

2008-03-04 Thread Gergely Budai

I am using the generic-build-script as a template for my package scripts and
I have noticed a strange thing when running it.

When I make a './foo-vendor-release.sh first' run, I get randomly the
following error :
.
p7zip-4.57/man1/7zr.1
p7zip-4.57/README
p7zip-4.57/TODO
mv: cannot move `p7zip-4.57' to `../p7zip-4.57-orig': Permission denied
p7zip-4.57-1.sh
p7zip-4.57.tar.bz2
$

I have traced it down to the following lines:
  ...
  unpack ${src_orig_pkg}  \
  mv ${BASEPKG} ../${BASEPKG}-orig  \
  ...

Just like I said, I get this error randomly. (approx. 3 out of 5 runs)
Have anyone else experienced this problem?
Could it be a dualcore problem?

This is probably caused by a handle remaining open for some short period
of time after tar has completed writing the files, such that mv starts
before it closes.  On a normal system, I don't think this should ever be
the case, i.e. handles should be closed by the time tar terminates. 
Sometimes if you have on-demand virus scanning however, those hooks
cause the file to remain open for a short period after tar has written
them.  I've also seen this with on-demand/real-time disk defragmentation
(in my case, Diskeeper v11 I believe) software, which I had to disable. 
The fact that it is transient definitely indicates that it's a race, but
I wouldn't go pinning it on dual core; although that may exacerbate it.

[ITP] csih-0.1-1

cygwin-service-installation-helper provides a library of shell functions 
that can be used by other cygwin packages that provide servers and daemons.


Usually, these other packages also ship with installation or 
configuration scripts (such as: ssh-host-config, iu-config, cron-config, 
etc).  These installation scripts have similar requirements, and can 
benefit from delegating common tasks to a common library.  Like csih!


I have notices that some of the *-config scripts mentioned above are 
posix-shell (#!/bin/sh) compliant. csih is not; it uses many bash-isms, 
so any -config script that uses its facilities must be a #!/bin/bash script.



This package basically consists of a single file:
  /usr/share/csih/cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh
whose contents are derived from many sources:

  ssh-host-config from the openssh package
  cron-config from the cron package
  exim-config from the exim package
  iu-config and syslogd-config from the inetutils package
  cygport from the cygport package

You can inspect the library without downloading and unpacking the 
tarballs using this link:

http://cygwin.cwilson.fastmail.fm/ITP/cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh

Changes relative to the initial version posted here
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2008-02/msg00225.html

1) documentation throughout
2) tested pretty heavily, but only on my (XP) system
3) renamed all functions to 'csih_WHATEVER'
4) use 'cyg_server' instead of 'cygwin_svc' as requested by Pierre
5) also look for sshd_server and cron_server
6) assimilated many functions from cron-config and exim-config
7) added debug and trace functions
8) added ability to suppress 'color', so that setup.log doesn't get 
cluttered with escape sequences


9) re-wrote inetutils' iu-config and syslogd-config to use this library. 
See:

http://cygwin.cwilson.fastmail.fm/ITP/iu-config
http://cygwin.cwilson.fastmail.fm/ITP/syslogd-config

ldesc: inetutils provides common networking clients and
servers, including the inetd super-server, telnetd and
telnet, ftpd and ftp, rshd and rsh, rlogind and rlogin,

uucpd (but no uucp client), rcp, and syslogd.

Changes since last post:
1) all inetd.conf services are disabled by default (but do not 
explicitly reference tcpd/tcp_wrappers).


NOTE: I decided NOT to make iu-config super-smart.  It does NOT
  a) ask about each service and offer to enable/disable it, NOR
  b) automagically update existing inetd.conf files from referencing 
in.telnetd to telnetd.
In both cases, the reason was: no matter how smart I make iu-config, the 
pre/postinstall scripts will never be able to tell if inetd.conf was 
automatically modified, or manually modified -- and different means 
never updated from new /etc/defaults/.  I figured THAT was a worse 
outcome than simply requiring:
  c) if you've already manually modified inetd.conf, you need to do so 
again, or
  d) if you want something different than the default behavior, you 
should manually establish it.


2) incorporated Corinna's security patch for rcpd (from 1.3.2-40). Also 
applied a similar fix to rexecd.


3) updated inetutils.OLD-README to 1.3.2-40's README (from 1.3.2-37).

4) preparing for disabling --install-as-service option. It's not 
disabled YET, but all it will take is a single #define and it's gone.


5) other documentation updates, related to these changes. Also, 
officially deprecated the install as a service on its own (e.g. 
--install-as-service).  It will (always?) allow operation in this mode 
if already installed, but eventually the --install-as-service will go 
away, leaving only cygrunsrv and init as viable mechanisms.


6) inetd.exe from 1.5-2 will honor inetd.exe-1.3.2's registry key, if 
present.  This only applies if inetd-1.3.2 had previously been installed 
as a service using --install-as-service.


7) rewrote iu-config to use csih facilities -- also, now offers to 
install inetd as a service (via cygrunsrv). Note the -p option, which 
allows on NT/2k/XP systems to use a special privileged user, just like 
on WinServer2003/2008/Vista/etc.

8) rewrote syslogd-config to use csih facilities
http://cygwin.cwilson.fastmail.fm/ITP/syslogd-config

9) new motd g

New problems:
=
While testing the csih privileged user stuff (and the iu-config -p 
option), I found that while inetd was perfectly happy to run under the 
privileged user, some of the slave servers (ftpd, rshd, ...) did not 
operate as well as they did under LocalSystem.


In particular, I couldn't even log in using ftpd. rshd did not honor 
.rhosts settings -- but did authenticate with password.  Telnetd was 
fine.  I think these have to do with hardcoded ROOT_UID stuff. 
Sergey's original port simply substituted root tests like:


  if (!uid) { ... }

with

  #ifdef __CYGWIN__
  #define ROOT_UID 18
  #else
  #define ROOT_UID 0
  #endif

  if (uid == ROOT_UID) { ... }

Obviously, that's no good with special privileged users (and would also 
break if we started using NetworkService or LocalService accounts).


These issues are, as far as I know, also present in the existing 1.3.2-X 
series, so they are not regressions, and probably shouldn't prevent 
uploading 1.5-2 as an official *test* release -- assuming the 
necessary approvals and GTGs for this 1.5-2 packageset and for the new 
csih package are forthcoming...


I'll look into fixing these newly discovered issues with the slave 
servers in -3 or later -- suggestions as to the correct fix?  Should I 
create a special function accountHasRootLikeCapabilities(some uid) and 
use that? What would this function look like?

Don't get me wrong.  I was not suggesting that you should do all these
conversions.  It would be nice to have one or two template scripts, like
iu-config and syslog-config.  Every other script is rather the job of
the package maintainer, isn't it?  Unless you plan to speed up the
migration, of course.


Sort of. I really just wanted to be sure that csih provided all the 
necessary facilities -- and that they actually worked when used 'in the 
wild'.  The best way to do that is to exercise the csih code from as 
many different contexts as possible, not just iu-config and syslogd-config.


However, I think the urgency of these other 'rewrites' is fairly low. 
I'll work on that in the background, because rght now, I think external 
users of iu-config/syslogd-config will provide me with all the bug 
reports on csih that I can handle, for a while.  This is not to say that 
I think csih is chock-full-of-bugs -- it's not -- but I only have the 
one XP system to test on.  Monocultures make me nervous...



I didn't mean to say that other packages shouldn't use this function
library.  I was merely saying that other scripts which don't have to
switch the user context don't have to be converted in the first place.
There's no pressure.


Right -- but they CAN use the other facilities in csih if they want to.

[ITP] p7zip-4.57-1


This is actually a re-ITP. I posted p7zip-4.47-1 last year
  http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2007-06/msg00046.html
but it kinda died without a yes/no after some issues with using 
non-standard cygport mods, so nobody could give it a GTG.


Contrary to my message here:
  http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2008-03/msg00101.html
it was NOT an issue with votes -- because p7zip is a normal component of 
the Debian distribution, so needs no votes.  Just a GTG -- which it 
didn't get last year.


So, having been reminded of this issue by the message earlier today, I 
updated my local build -- using *standard* features of the new 
cygport-3.8.  It still has the rather odd structure imposed by the 
upstream folks:


== /usr/bin/7z ==
#! /bin/sh
/usr/lib/p7zip/7z $@

etc, but the other issues mentioned 
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2007-06/msg00048.html

have been fixed.
