[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: lynx-2.8.5-3
I've updated the version of lynx to 2.8.5-3. This is a security update. It fixes a buffer overflow problem which allows to execute arbitrary code when visiting malicious web sites (CAN-2005-3120). Since the new version has no official new name, you can differ the old and new version by their build date or by their md5sum: Old: $ lynx --version Lynx Version 2.8.5rel.2 (22 Apr 2004) libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 0.9.8a Built on cygwin Jul 6 2005 11:15:49 $ md5sum /bin/lynx.exe 6ba22c808c76ec9a00792cbfccc62a29 */bin/lynx.exe New: $ lynx --version Lynx Version 2.8.5rel.2 (22 Apr 2004) libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 0.9.8a Built on cygwin Oct 18 2005 10:52:43 $ md5sum /bin/lynx.exe 8987cf5dcf28d6ffccd93c13386265f5 */bin/lynx.exe To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New Package: pstoedit-3.42
INFO Wolfgang Glunz's pstodedit package (pstoedit-3.42) is now available for cygwin. pstoedit converts Postscript(TM) and PDF files to other vector graphic formats so that they can be edited graphically. It provides xfig-compatible .fig output format as one option. See /usr/share/doc/pstoedit-3.42/pstoedit.htm after package installation for more details on which output formats are supported by pstoedit. The architecture of pstoedit consists of a PostScript frontend which calls a PostScript interpreter (ghostscript) and the individual backends which are plugged into a kind of framework. pstoedit links to and requires the recently uploaded plotutils-2.41 package. In the near future it will also link to libEMF, providing emf output format. More information is available in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/pstoedit-3.42.README. The Web page for the package is: http://www.pstoedit.net/pstoedit . UPDATE == To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'pstoedit' from the 'Graphics' category. Then click on the 'skip' field next to 'pstoedit' until '3.42' is displayed. DOWNLOAD: = Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations.

Latest cvs causes programs using ptys to hang
I've rebuilt the Cygwin dll from CVS sources today and all programs using pseudo terminals hang. I've tried sshd, in.telnetd (via inetd), rxvt and MC and all of them hang. If I start MC without subshell support (i.e. pty support is not used) it will work flawlessly. in.telnetd manages to execute login which authenticates me fine and then bash is started but hangs before the prompt is displayed and after the following is displayed Last login: Tue Oct 18 16:35:32 from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Fanfare!!! You are successfully logged in to this server!!! You have mail. I've tried to debug the problem but it seems extremly hard to attach to a bash process using the pty slave end. strace doesn't print any data too. This behaviour is new. I've been working with dlls built from CVS for quite a while and this has never happened. -- 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/
Re: Question about OpenGL
Thom DeCarlo wrote: I'm wondering if there is any new development in the OpenGL libraries within cygwin. The package in the distribution says it is version 1.1, but the current OpenGL release, from Sept 2004, is v2.0. The last pre-2.0 version was 1.5. The last comment I found in the archives was from Andre Bleau in Feb 2003. He laid out a development plan but I can't find any changes after that time. Does anyone know if anything has happened lately? I'd like to use some of the 2.0 capabilities, but it doesn't look like I can get there with cygwin. Thanks for any info, Thom Thom, There never was an implementation of native OpenGL for Cygwin. All there is is a way for Cygwin programs to access the underlying implementation of OpenGL for Windows, and that implementation is stuck at version 1.1. Unless Bill Gates changes his mind about OpenGL, it will never be upgraded. There are ways to use the features of more recent OpenGL implementations provided with graphic card drivers through the use of extensions. That's a problem that all OpenGL developpers on the Windows platform have to face, not just the ones programming for Cygwin. If you want more info about how to do that, please look at the programming forums at http://www.opengl.org/ . The "development plan" you mentionned was about GLUT, a library often used by OpenGL programs, not about OpenGL itself.

CPU usage issue with bash
Bash seems to be taking up a lot of CPU resources for me. It peaks to 100% for lengthy spans of around 20-30 seconds. On NT systems (with an older cygwin) I notice peaks to around 70-80% for shorter durations of time. Is this a known issue with bash ? I found this on the archives. http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-03/msg01114.html But this does not provide any conclusive answer :-( If someone could provide some pointers, I would appreciate that.

If I understand right, cygwin uses assembly instructions that won't work on a 386. But beyond that, if you have a machine that can run Win95, then you can run cygwin (although it may be painfully slow). I regularly run cygwin on a 266 MHz Pentium Pro, Win98 (although I much prefer more modern machines). -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin bash maintainer -- 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/

Yes. Coreutils 5.91 was just released (although I haven't packaged it yet), and it corrected an omission in the NEWS for 5.90: dircolors now supports SETUID, SETGID, STICKY_OTHER_WRITABLE, OTHER_WRITABLE, and STICKY, with ls providing default colors for these categories if not specified by dircolors. drwxrwxrws directories fall under the new OTHER_WRITABLE category, and I bet your old /etc/.DIR_COLORS does not yet give a color for this category, so it falls to ls's defaults, which is green on blue. If you want to restore old behavior, you will have to use an edited .DIR_COLORS, and give OTHER_WRITABLE the same string as DIR. -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin coreutils maintainer -- 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/

Your situation isn't normal because you didn't stop all cygwin
services. While the idea has been tossed around on this list
that it would be nice if setup.exe could stop services for you,
to date, it does not. Therefore, IT IS UP TO YOU to stop services
beforehand. Or provide a patch so that setup.exe can do
it for you (and for the rest of us).
I use this handy little script on my machine to help me stop
(and restart) all services:
$ cat serv
#!/bin/bash
usage='serv: manage cygwin services during cygwin upgrades
usage: serv {--help|--stop|--start}'
case $# in

--help|-h) echo "$usage"; exit 0 ;;

echo "starting $service"
cygrunsrv --start $service || echo "problems with $service"

That is a reasonable solution (in that you at least guarantee that
you have the latest cygwin before any other new package
postinstall tries to run), but who likes rebooting?

This is a feature of the terminal that allows the program to make arbitrary modifications to the terminal screen that will be undone when the program switches back to the main screen. In particular, any color changes will be undone. Consequently, if you wish to change the color of the main screen, don't do this while running vim or less.

I believe you are referring to the recent question about whether cygwin services must be stopped during a WINDOWS upgrade, which is a different matter entirely from cygwin upgrades. The answer there was that it is usually safe to leave cygwin running during a windows upgrade, although the recent directx 9 patch on Win2k proved to be a counterexample. But when it comes to running cygwin while upgrading cygwin, the consensus on this list is that it is safest and simplest to just always stop all cygwin processes before starting setup.exe. -- Eric Blake -- 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/
Accessibility and Cygwin setup.exe
I read in the archives that there has been some discussions about accessibility and Cygwin setup.exe. Are there any plans to improve this? Keyboard support was not mentioned there but is also an important accessibility feature for many people. Are there any plans for keyboard support?

That means that there is some service that you do not have access to. When cygrunsrv goes to try to get information on it with OpenService it is denied access. You'd have to run it with a debugger to find out more details. I've been meaning to work on a patch that turns this error into a warning so that it can just keep going if it runs into this problem.

Re: Accessibility and Cygwin setup.exe
hello! I'm one of the people who from time to time brings up the inaccessibility of the setup.exe program of cygwin. Basically what I've been told is that I'm free to work on it at any time. True but not helpfull because I don't know where to begin because I don't know enough about windows programming and don't know if these issues are due to a fault of the window classes not being recognized by my screen reader or if the developers of setup are using a wigit set that doesn't meet accessibility requirements. In short, and I appologize for those who have already seen me bring this up before, the view button should openup a standard listview controll containing 3state check boxes similar to those found on the windows installation cd and in the setup program in windows which allows you to add or remove some features. In this control on windows hitting the spacebar toggles the state from not installed to custom installed to fully installed. In other words, if you have some of the components of the accessories group, the box in windows setup allows you to remove accessories completely, install extra accessories components or keep the existing level of components. The other controlls which need work are the radio button for full vs. custom installation vs. all not installed. The radio buttons for prev cur and exp distrobutions work fine.

Setup should always be able to perform the updates, but if files are in use it will have to schedule them to be replaced on the next reboot.

If you replace a packaged file with one of your own, you will almost certainly encounter problems at some later point. All package management systems work this way, which is why you must use the designated locations (/usr/local, /opt, etc.) or otherwise inform the package system of your desire (for example, debian/apt has "diversions".) You will have the same thing happen on a linux system if you replace a file in /usr/lib with a self-compiled one.

Re: Accessibility and Cygwin setup.exe
Hi, I am be no means any expert on this, but I feel I still can add a couple of comments. I looked into the accessibility functions on MS Windows some years ago. I was interested in running programs automatically (for testing purposes). It turned out that this was technically very difficult (but possible) with old windows controls, but that the newer controls had support for this - in exactly the form of accessibility features. I believe Microsoft has put some effort in making all newer controls working with their accessibility framework (MSAA). So making basic accessibility work in MS Windows applications is possible by just using standard MS Windows controls. The keyboard support though, has to be made specific for every application, but the basic support for doing this is their and it is not difficult. To my previous note about using wxWidgets I should add that it looks like not all wxWidget controls have accessibility support yet, but it is currently beeing worked on, see http://www.wxwidgets.org/access.htm.

Timestamp not preserved by Cygwin sshd
Hi, I just noticed a bug in Cygwin ssd. If I try to preserve the time stamp of a file that I transfer via scp to a XP machine running Cygwin's sshd, the file gets copied but the timestamp is not preserved. The specific error that is reported is: -- scp: warning: File transfer protocol mismatch. scp: FATAL: sshfc_transfer.c:2496 SshFCTransfer (function name unavailable) Unreachable code failed: Invalid code reached. -- I am running the latest release of cygwin (1.5.18-1) on an up-todate Win XP Pro machine (SP2). -Alex __ Yahoo!

OpenSSH's ssh is usually working fine, also in setting timestamps when copying files, also on Cygwin. This is very likely a problem between your other scp client and OpenSSH and has nothing to do with Cygwin.

Please give the next snapshot a try or build from CVS, if you're setup for this.

That's strange. My first action after creating the desktop icon to start
a local Cygwin console is to change the cursor shape ("large"), the font
(Lucida Console, 12pt) and the fore- and background colors (black on grey)
in the shortcut pointing to the cygwin.bat script. I don't see what you
see, the colors are..., well, "stable". The colors are only scrambled up
while still running in the console window in which I made the changes.
I have no idea what could be different in your setup, sorry.
