Re: Musings on PHP
Robert Richter wrote: I didn't really intend to package PHP, but having got this far, I sort of feel I ought to. Which brings me to two major issues concerning any potential Cygwin PHP package: 1) Two apache versions. I've no interest in Apache 1.3.x. Can I just package PHP for 2.x, and worry about 1.3.x only if a potential maintainer steps forward? I already got a PHP 4.3.10 version running on Apache 1.3.x and plan to add PHP to the Apache 1.3.x release. I am not sure if this is the best solution but maintenance effort decreases. In the same package? That doesn't seem like a good idea. That is likely to confuse users, and will lead to unnecessarily large updates when one of Apache/PHP needs to be updated, but the other does not. On the other side a separate package could be included also by Apache2 and package conficts would be avoided. I don't understand how this will avoid conflicts? Although I have never explicitly tried, at the moment, it should be possible to install and run both apache1 and apache2 simultaneously. If there are to be two independent PHP packages, we need to avoid file name conflicts between them, just like no files in the apache apache2 packages share names. Max.

please upload: lesstif-0.94.4-1 test release
I believe Harold gave me permission to upload a test release of LessTif in an effort to transition its maintainership. This is a test release because various Cygwin maintainers whose packages rely on LessTif may have compatibility concerns. Those packages are: ddd nedit tcm xemacs xpdf If you are a maintainer or user of one of the above packages, please test this release. Also, if you are a developer who uses Cygwin LessTif, your input is also desired. Note that you can test the new cygXm-2.dll without needing to recompile the dependent application. Although, a recompile is a more thorough test, assuming you are sure the recompile would have succeeded before this update. Since this is a maintainership change, a packaging review may be in order?

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 According to Christopher Faylor on 9/20/2005 10:05 AM: AFAICT, we're not talking about defaults. We're talking about the optimum setting. Your change to xargs doesn't permit me to go beyond 32K. Personally, I'd like to be able to override that. So would I. See below. I have a similar test which shows noticeable improvement when going from 32K to 64K and miniscule-but-still-there improvements after that: Was this benchmark run on a modified xargs, or did you still suffer from the 32k limit? xargs truncates the -s arg down to what it is told is the system limit; use the undocumented xargs --show-limits to prove that you are getting the buffer size you are requesting. I am not really interested in providing a non-standard interface which would ultimately end up being used just by xargs. That would mean that we're adding an interface to cygwin so that a UNIX program could work better with non-cygwin programs. I think I've been pretty consistent in stating that I want to encumber cygwin as little as possible when it comes to accommodating non-cygwin programs. POSIX allows extensions to sysconf and pathconf for a reason, but I can understand if you are reluctant to add _PC_ARG_MAX. If you want to keep the 32K limit, that's ok with me. I'd just ask that you make it possible to override it. My current findutils release just bypasses the _SC_ARG_MAX check altogether with a hard-coded 32k upper limit to -s, without touching the code that defaults to 128k (since xargs automatically trims its default down to the results of its _SC_ARG_MAX check as needed). But my next release of findutils, after cygwin 1.5.19 is out (where all cygwin processes and not just cygexec mount points get the larger cygwin arg limits), will change the default from 128k to 32k, but use the normal _SC_ARG_MAX as the upper limit of -s. So maybe instead of having _SC_ARG_MAX return 1 meg, you should make it even larger, since cygwin processes really can pass more than 1 meg. But, then, I suspect that this wasn't overrideable when I was providing xargs either so you can feel free to ignore my request. Correct, your earlier releases of xargs could not exceed your hardcoded ARG_MAX limitation either. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!

fairly repeatable fork(?) errors in (contrived) test script
All:
I'm using the 9/19 snapshot. The sleep in the below test script seems to
be required, otherwise the script could be simplified and still
cause errors.
The test script works (always?) without errors on 1.3.20.
Here are a couple of test runs:

x: 2
x: 3
x: 4
x: 5
x: 6

812 [main] bash 7028 fork_parent: child 3576 died waiting for longjmp
before initialization
/tmp/test: fork: Bad file descriptor

With a real (ie useful) script (that also involved a sleep) I was able to
get similar(?) errors after running only 5 instances of that
script in parallel.

with invoke --login parameter.
Meaning this behaviour ?
If I type bash in any other directories, the bash promote can be
shown successfully and I can use bash environment.
If I type bash in my home directory, it just hangs for seconds and
back to dos promote and nothing happened. Alternatively bash --login
has same behavior.
You must have a file called bash in your home directory, and that empty
component between the two double-semicolons counts as adding '.' to your
$PATH in POSIX.

Re: strange behavior of bash
Thank you very much all for your replies. I think I should clarify somthing first. Windows has two places to set path parameters Local Machine and User environment, what I changed is local machine one which means it affects anyone use this pc. 1. I do have /cygwin/bin in my User environment Path, and I can see cygwin find and use them all by type env in cygwin. 2. I didn't install make (gnu one) yet. I just want to delete borland path first, because by accidently I typed make, it called borland make. 3. So, I can type bash in any directory in CMD prompt. It is like the followings: H:\bash bash: .bash_profile: No such file or directory bash-3.00$ //enter bash environment without problem bash-3.00$ exit exit H:\bash --login H:\ //It is back to CMD prompt !! ### I fixed this now, because I stupidly put line . .bash_profile in .bashrc file to ensure my .bash_profile can be called every time when I start cygwin. and .bash_profile calls .bashrc again. I think it loops. Many thanks for all of your advices.

1.3.20? That is at least three years old. There is nothing useful that
can be derived from quoting a regression from a version which is that
old.
I can't reproduce this, even with 81 repetitions instead of 9. Please

Mounting directory problems
Hi, I've create an network drive on srv1 that map \\srv2\test to k: using Windows2003 GUI. But now I want to access that from cygwin, and I can't. I've tryed to mount it using mount, but it is not working. Here is what I've done : $ mount x: /srv2_test mount: warning - /srv2_test does not exist. $ mount x: on /srv2_test type system (binmode) $ ls /srv2_test ls: /srv2_test: No such file or directory I've tried the same thing, with creating the directory /srv2_test before but (except the mounting warning), I have exactly the same problem...

Thanks a lot, cause you've just saved the last few hair I have on my skull :-) You really should create '/srv2_test' first.

Re: fstat gives wrong mode after chmod and fchmod

I'm seeing this on the 20050916 but as far as I know it's not a

The following gives:

Does anyone else see this?

For future reference, the comp.text.tex newsgroup is fairly good for this sort of thing, either live or checking the archives on Google Groups. Also, fwiw, there's a texhash command that's aliased to mktexlsr. I assume there's some historical reason to have two names for the same thing. - Brooks -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
