Replace the current prev/curr/test radio buttons with a drop-down list box containing not metapackages but installation templates, with names like: Workstation Heavy-Duty Workstation Server Bare Bones Setup Bleeding Edge Maintenance Everything else stays the same. Selection of one of the templates sets the suggested installs/uninstalls/whatever, but then you can change them however you want just like it is now. After the initial installation, it defaults to Maintenance, which sets things to update whatever you already have to the latest version, but not add or subtract anything. If you initially did a Server install and try switching to say a Workstation install, maybe it gives you a warning box before it uninstalls half your stuff.

Not to the same extent of separation that debian has, but separate. test/latest test/contrib curr/latest curr/contrib prev/latest prev/contrib I think that the file locations are orthogonal to the versions considered 'active' in test/curr/prev.

Command line options for setup
Hi Keith, I hope I haven't stolen your thunder, but I've checked into HEAD the framework for command line options for setup. I've not used what you put together, because it was too procedural. Instead, we have: GetOption - a singleton class that abstracts the getopt() mechanics. Each option registers with it at process startup, and main() calls GetOption::GetInstance().Process(argc, argv); This means that main.cc is completely unaffected by addition and removal of options. Secondly, there is an abstract class Option that each option inherits from (we can probably look at a template at some point). The concrete classes need to be singletons, to ensure their registration at process startup. (Their constructor calls GetOption::GetInstance().Register(this);). See desktop.h and desktop.cc for a sample option (--no-shortcuts or -n). Anyway, this will hopefully act as a seed, and allow you (or anyone else interested in adding command line options) to do so without having to invent the infrastructure as well. Cheers, Rob
cygprce.dll missing from one of my friends postgreSQL-installation?
Hi, is there any fast method for checking which package contains dll which is missing from the cygwin-installation? I have itself installed cygwin and postgreSQL couple of times to different computers without big problems. But now I have noticed that for 3 other people who has tryed to do the same, has had all kind of problems because of some missing libraries and dll's. For now it takes from me a long time to try to quess which package certain dll which is still missing. Just for example some minutes ago, one of my friend installed cygwin, and received message from missing cygprce.dll. He got this error when he started to initializing postgre-database. Can somebody tell to me which package contains this dll? (Or how to search them fastly would be even better...) Mika

The results are almost always identical, first XWin starts and connects to host1. However, when the second server starts, the first screen appears to be reset to and empty X server session (just blank background) while the second server connects to host2. When I am finished with host2 and quit the second session (close the window), then the first session gives me a login prompt at host1 again. It appears as though there is some hardwired common display behavior that is common among all server instances, even if they are started from separate XWin processes. I'll keep plugging away at it. I did setup VNC on the remote hosts again, to do what I needed to do simultaneously on host1 and host2. It does seem that VNC is much more of a bandwidth and processor load than XFree86, which doesn't really surprise me.

SETUP(PickPackageLine.cc): Patch for 'chopped of characters' problem (RESEND)
This time without linewrapping (I hope)
Here is a patch for the 'chopped off characters in the chooser' problem when
using Large Fonts. I mentioned this problem in my message
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-03/msg01200.html and also saw it appearing
on cygwin-apps yesterday (with a picture illustrating the problem under
windows XP) in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2002-03/msg00247.html.
The original code uses a fixed clip rectangle height of 11, which is the
height of the used bitmaps for the boxes in the line. This is OK when using
small fonts, but when using large fonts textheight is larger than 11, hence
the chopping off at the top.
Here is a changelogentry and the patch:

Lets go back to first principals here. When you see a bug you suspect that there is a bug in the program. To debug a program you use gdb. Nice, Christopher. I've done this for at least 3 month, ever and ever again. I suspect three possible problems: 1. I do not fully understand how (v)printf works. Maybe. 2. I'm to blind, frustated etc. to understand gdb's output. Most likely now. 3. I depend on something not portable. Happens often. What I do not understand is why the problem only occur if Cygwin is using DOS linefeeds. The same program works fine with UNIX linefeeds. What's the difference from the application's point of view? It's really simple. No email to a mailing list required. No speculation that it could be a cygwin version. You run the program under the debugger and find out where the problem is. Sorry, I have to find my protecting coat of sarcasm, so I shut up now.

Hard links broken in setup 2.194.2.x
This should go to cygwin-apps, but I am not allowed to post there, so I do it here. The reported problem in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2002-03/msg00251.html is really messing up all package installs which use hard links. Gcc and perl and John Marshall's prc-tools are examples. I started looking into the io_stream code and I believe the problem has to do with the artificial addition of a slash to force extraction to the cygwin root directory (names like: cygfile:///usr/bin/...). In the target of links this extra slash is missing. For symbolic links this is OK, but for hard links it causes the 'cannot open target for reading' error message. Maybe we need something like chroot() so relative pathnames in tar files extract correctly instead of the addition of a root '/'. The recent w32api problems (leading './' in tar pathnames) might be a symptom of the same problem. Robert, I hope this helps fixing this problem soon. In the meantime, maybe we should revert to setup 2.152.2.10 untill this serious bug is fixed. If I find out something more I'll let you know.

Didn't you actually quote the linux man page which says not to use the second argument in gettimeofday? The use of the timezone struct is obsolete; the tz_dsttime field has never been used under Linux - it has not been and will not be supported by libc or glibc. Each and every occurrence of this field in the kernel source (other than the declaration) is a bug. Note that my quotation says about the GNU operating system, and even at that time gettimeofday should return -1 and set errno. Cygwin does not do it. Nor, should it. Linux doesn't either. You could easily check this before offering opinions on implementation. I wrote the patch. I argue for its legitimacy. In fact, it is scroll-back. I just (mostly) picked code from an old version. I have twice suggested that you submit a patch. There is no need to argue about anything. Maybe I am wrong to say obvious. However, is following a way that breaks less code a worse way? If following BSD does not harm anybody and keep more code happily running, WHY NOT? Apparently, you like to argue but don't like to read too closely. I already suggested that you submit a patch but it took several messages for you to do that. Now, you've submitted a patch but you're still offering invalid arguments about the way things should work. Just give it a rest. Oh, by the way, as usual, I would appreciate a ChangeLog with your patch.

You mean buffered? Is it an undefined behavior of the c compiler? But why a different default behavior, with and without the flag? Usually the libc decides if to use buffering by the fact if stdout is atttached to a terminal (line buffering) or redirected to a file (full buffering). Since -no-cygwin uses the MS libc, and MS libc doesn't know anything about bash, I suppose they thing stdout is not connected to a terminal when running under bash. This would at least explain this behaviour and there would be nothing you can do about it, except using fflush (as a lot of people already suggested).

setup 2.194.2.21: Questions about the per-mirror directories feature

Re: .bashrc not getting sourced?
IIRC, if you check the archives, you should find that the behavior of sourcing the .bashrc file in /etc/profile was discontinued in later cygwin releases. The fact that you have it from over a year ago is probably because the cygwin install does not overwrite files that have been modified or exist previously.

Re: .bashrc not getting sourced?
I believe that .bash_login, .bash_profile or .profile is the file
you're wanting to use in this instance.
man bash
{ snip }
When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is
started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if
that file exists. This may be inhibited by using the --norc
option. The --rcfile file option will force bash to read
and execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc.
{ snip }
If you're realling wanting .bashrc to be sourced on a login-shell, then
you'll either need to set BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc, or source it from your
$HOME/.profile, or from /etc/profile.

Wow. That was allot of discussion and conjecture on this topic. Did anyone
think of looking at the GNU bash documentation before posting?

Seems to me this answers the question quite well about where this kind of
check is recommended. And no post was required to get the information. ;-)
BTW, the check was removed from /etc/profile because bash is not the only
shell that reads that file.

Re: Nothing needed to be installed setup problem
Is the setup.ini from the CDROM as well? A newer setup.ini will probably refer to the wrong versions of most of the packages. Ah, that explains it... actually, I don't have setup.ini at all! I just don't install cygwin often enough to remember these things. But no, I don't have the old one lying around. Anyhow, I've decided to install linux on this box instead. But thanks to all for the help!

bash failed to initialize on telnet/rsh/rlogin server
I'm trying to get inetd set up for telnet/rsh/rlogin on my machine and have everything going up to the point that after login.exe gives the motd to the telnet client, a dialog window pops up on the server titled bash.exe - Application Error and says The application failed to initialize properly (0xc022). Acknowledging the dialog closes the connection with the client. I have telnetd working on another machine (NT4) but haven't been updating it to the latest cygwin packages. The new machine is running W2K, was updated this afternoon, and although there are 56 differences in the cygcheck -c outputs, these are the ones that seem relevant to me: (differences highlighted with *) system that doesn't work system that works Cygwin Package Information Cygwin Package Information Package Version Package Version * bash2.05a-3 bash2.05a-2 * cygwin 1.3.10-1cygwin 1.3.6-6 inetutils 1.3.2-17inetutils 1.3.2-17 login 1.4-3 login 1.4-3 Both are running with ntsec, and have identical passwd and group files (both from the domain server, passwd trimmed to a couple users plus the usual system accounts) Even though I thought I recalled seeing something about this in the last couple months, I've searched the mailing list for all kinds of combinations of keywords, including 'bash failed to initialize', and got no relevant hits. Before I try to debug this on my own, I wanted to check to see if there was some obvious answer (aside from cygwin 1.3.10-1 broke this...because we're mean :-) ) that I'm overlooking. And if I do need to debug this, where would I put the strace? in inetd.conf? if so, how?

Timestamp Dec 31 1969 problem with OpenAFS

Re: .bashrc not getting sourced?
My question is pretty simple: is editing the /etc/profile the recommended way to get my ~/.bashrc file sourced? I say: no. And if not, what is. It should be noted that I found a message by Gary R. Van Sickle suggesting that .bash_profile might be a better way to do things, but this doesn't directly answer my question. Yeah, well, that guy doesn't know what the heck he's talking about half the time ;-). Here's how I have things set up, and I recommend it to everyone; it seems to be the way bash was intended to work, and I can't see any flaws in the scheme: 1. /etc/profile does not source any .bash* files. It does do a bunch of things like USER=`id -un`, set the HOME var, and runs any scripts in /etc/profile.d/ (not entirely sure what that's about), all of which was setup by setup.exe. 2. .bashrc is empty. 3. .bash_profile sources .bashrc (just in case, for future use), and then contains all my env var settings, aliases, etc. 4. PATH is *not* set in any of these files, but rather in the normal Windows way (control panel on NT+, ??? on 9x). So what you get with all this is: 1. PATH is always good, whether you're running cygwin apps from bash or the Windows command line, and regardless of how bash is invoked (interactive/login or not). 2. When you start bash (interactively, your shell), it runs /etc/profile and sets up the bare minimums and cd's to HOME. 3. After runing /etc/profile, bash looks for ~/.bash_profile and runs it to set up your user stuff. 4. Subshells end up sourcing nothing (no BASH_ENV is defined anywhere), so scripts run faster. 5. Interactive but non-login shells run an empty .bashrc. I don't know when you'd get an interactive but non-login shell, but I haven't noticed any problems to date. -- Gary R.

Re: cygwin1.dll bug in ftime
Sorry, Christopher, but I thought I needed to answer others' questions and clear myself. Because I need to copy and paste the content of your messages to my reply (I don't want the garbage produced by Lotus Notes to interfere), I can hardly write just below the original message and maybe the correlation of my reply and the original message is not very clear. Linux man page emphasizes the obsoleteness of tz_dsttime field, IMHO, because of the complexity to get this information. Linux DOES use the timezone struct (I tested on Red Hat 7). -- For Heribert, I don't want ENOSYS. I just replied to refute the statement that I had been refuting myself. Sorry for my ignoring your information that I should submit a patch. It seems I did not understand the culture of this mailing list very well as a newbie. I apologize here. ChangeLog: gettimeofday and ftime now set timezone information. Just of interest, who reviews and tests the code? Best regards, Wu Yongwei --- Original Message from Christopher Faylor --- On Tue, Mar 26, 2002 at 09:41:11PM +0800, Wu Yongwei wrote: Glibc is at least an important implementation. Don't we need compatibility? No. Why are you asking this question again? Didn't you actually quote the linux man page which says not to use the second argument in gettimeofday? The use of the timezone struct is obsolete; the tz_dsttime field has never been used under Linux - it has not been and will not be supported by libc or glibc. Each and every occurrence of this field in the kernel source (other than the declaration) is a bug. Note that my quotation says about the GNU operating system, and even at that time gettimeofday should return -1 and set errno. Cygwin does not do it. Nor, should it. Linux doesn't either. You could easily check this before offering opinions on implementation. I wrote the patch. I argue for its legitimacy. In fact, it is scroll-back. I just (mostly) picked code from an old version. I have twice suggested that you submit a patch. There is no need to argue about anything. Maybe I am wrong to say obvious. However, is following a way that breaks less code a worse way? If following BSD does not harm anybody and keep more code happily running, WHY NOT? Apparently, you like to argue but don't like to read too closely. I already suggested that you submit a patch but it took several messages for you to do that. Now, you've submitted a patch but you're still offering invalid arguments about the way things should work. Just give it a rest. Oh, by the way, as usual, I would appreciate a ChangeLog with your patch. One goal in submitting patches is to reduce the workload of the person reviewing it as much as possible so that it would be reviewed quickly.
