The only fuss I see is about keeping rxvt. I don't see what all the fuss is about. It has been settled for MSYS four years ago. > > I've found that copy+paste often caused rxvt to crash. But given that a number of 6.x modules either use curses or modify their behaviour depending upon whether isatty() returns true for stdin/stdout, the fact that rxvt won't work correctly with those modules can also be considered a bug. In rxvt, copy+paste never worked for me, but since I am sometimes trying to fix bugs for wingrass, I changed years ago to system console + sh in my local wingrass versions. It seems that using rxvt can be regarded as a bug. I updated msys.bat to the official stable version (MSYS 2009) in r55996,7 for rebr64, devbr6, respectively. About changes and testing: this change is not in a release candidate and far from being in an official release. A pity. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1950#comment:7> GRASS GIS <http://grass.osgeo.org> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
