get cygpath to leave relative paths as relative?

2007-12-10 Thread Brent
If I execute mypath=`cygpath -w ../` echo $mypath I get d:\unix\nextVersion\script OK, d:\unix\nextVersion\script is the correct windows version of the path, but it is in absolute form. I would prefer it if cygpath left it in relative form, i.e. echo $mypath should output ..

Nevermind, I found a way. I can add the line "exclude from = c:\exclusions.txt" to rsyncd.conf near the top of the file before any of the modules. Then create a file c:\exclusions.txt and list the folders I want to exclude. In this case the line would be: "/Folder to be hidden/". If I wanted to

2007-12-10 Thread Jerry D. Hedden
(CC'ed to perl5-porters for reference.) The Perl test suite contains a file (perl-current/ext/threads/t/libc.t) that exercises the 'localtime' call under threads. Here's the main code: my $i = 10; my $y = 2; my %localtime; for (1..$i) { $localtime{$_} = localtime($_)

Attached are the two ChangeLog entries from newlib and a patch of the math directory differences between my modified 1.5.24 and 1.5.25. I did a quick visual check and this single patch appears to match the two I originally sent. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Cary _

In April/May 2007 I submitted a number of patches to fix math boundary problems in newlib. These changes appear to have not made it into the latest cygwin release.
