Re: Upcoming postgresql layout change
Reini Urban schrieb: Due to popular request I'll change the postgresql layout from the big monolithic singular package to a layout as used in debian for 8.1 This will make it easier for the packages xemacs and php at first, and for users it will seperate the dll's and the clients from the server. Note that at first I will only support one simultaneous postgresql server package. A debian-like postgresql-common for simultaneous postgresql server packages (7.4, 8.0, 8.1) is in consideration. Attached are the hint files for the packages. The only changes from debian are non-versioned names, -dev renamed to -devel to be consistent with our naming, and postgresql-server-dev renamed to postgresql-devel. Before I upload the 13 new postgresql packages, I'll ask a short question how to handle the upcoming conflict resolution, not to make stupid mistake. postgresql-8.1.3-2 setup.hint has: requires: libpq4 postgresql-client crypt libintl3 openssl zlib test: 8.1.3-2 prev: 8.0.7-1 curr: 8.1.3-1 For test: 8.1.3-2 everything is correct. I want to prepare this as test release and therefore bump 8.1.3-1 to curr. For libpq4 and postgresql-client I created empty -8.1.3-1.tar.bz2 files, so that when somebody updates from the old prev 8.0.7-1 to the new current 8.1.3-1 (default behavior), the new empty required client and lib packages will get pulled in. When I bump 8.1.3-2 to curr or someone wants the test release, the new layout will get installed. Should I provide empty 8.0.7-1.tar.bz2 files for those two required packages also? I checked installing 8.1.3-1 locally and updating to 8.1.3-2 also, and everything looked ok, but who knows. Problems: Installing postgresql-8.1.3-2 without installing the test releases libpq4-8.1.3-2 and postgresql-client-8.1.3-2 will ask for trouble. I can only think of providing a copy of libpq4-8.1.3-2 as libpq4-8.1.3-1 (ditto for the clients) to circumvent this.

Re: Win2003 server and cron/sshd as services (1.5.19)
Indeed I did run it. Cron_diagnose complained about permissions that I fixed by chowning the files/directories to the Administrators group. But those changes did not change cron's behaivor. I did just test by running cron from the command line (not as a service), and it appears to work fine. I suspect, that it can only exec commands under my uid, since my account does not have things like SeCreateTokenPrivilege, etc. I would like to su to my cron_server (or sshd_server) uid to test out running the daemons without cygrunsrv, but I don't know how to switch users in cygwin with out ssh'ing to localhost. Login does not seem to work (giving me the message about the changes in ntsec) even after I added these rights to my user account: SeServiceLogonRight SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege SeCreateTokenPrivilege SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege One last thing. I fired up apache under my userid, and it sucessfully bound to port 80, (in my mind at least) debunking the fire wall theory. Any debugging tips would be greatly appreciated.

Re: C exe redirection blank file
Thanks again for your reply. The normal exit does flush and close all open file descriptors, I thought that was the case, so had not worried about closing the files. so what you are seeing is odd. I agree. I've used some varied Unix systems in the past, and never had this. Now, the normal exit is part of the run time (crt0 or a similar name, that calls main and cleans up after) and that part is statically linked so, unless it depends on functionality on a Windows dll, it should not vary between machines. Is there any way of checking which particular Windows.dll it could be needing? Could there be any serial port setting that may be affecting it? Incidentally I'm run a one minute cron job (for the working process) - would that affect anything? I don't know if those basic libraries get Windows patches (updates in Microsoft-talk)... could be worth trying. Ok understand in principal what you're saying. I have automatic updates configured and scheduled. Is there a limit to the number of files on XP - like the old config.sys option files=99? I don't know. Would archiving files to a separate directory help? That's a weird one, I have no idea what is going on (I was thinking about anti-virus or similar software that prevent creating files, but it doesn't look quite like that). I have the same Anti-virus software on both PCs - AVG (and firewall). I could try an additional test on my laptop - but not sure what that would tell me. What do you think? Incidentally AVG does a scheduled virus scan nightly and finds nothing. Incidentally I tried something else today. I created a shell script junk.sh that did the following: echo starting problem program ./problem_program echo ending problem program I ran this with ./junk.sh junk.txt Surprise, surprise in junk.txt I got starting problem program ending problem program with again none of problem_program's output! * Is the chkdsk error significant, or is it just a red herring do you think? * Have you ever heard of anything similar on Linux/Unix? * Does windows have a lock on a file or something? * I'm sure I haven't, but if something in the program redirected 'stdout', would this have any affect like I'm experiencing - i.e. overriding the command line's redirection?

So the most probable cause is some difference between computers. * Is the chkdsk error significant, or is it just a red herring do you think? I don't see how it could be a factor, but I may be missing something. Better try to see what's the cause (a damaged sector that cannot be remapped?). * Have you ever heard of anything similar on Linux/Unix? Anything is possible. For instance, an uninitialized pointer could cause writing in the file descriptor table same effect as closing/changing those file descriptors, if the program is not too complex I would use gdb to see the execution at least once, if it is complex then better isolate the problem first. * Does windows have a lock on a file or something? Yes. You probably have seen it, when Windows doesn't allow you to delete a file because it is in use (try deleting all the .tmp files in your temp directory). * I'm sure I haven't, but if something in the program redirected 'stdout', would this have any affect like I'm experiencing - i.e. overriding the command line's redirection?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: xpm-nox-4.2.0-5
To avoid conflicts with the impending release of new cygwin-x packages (which will use the modular x.org sources and install into /usr NOT /usr/X11R6/ ), I've updated the xpm-nox package. xpm-nox provides a version of the Xpm image format library compiled to NOT require the use of an X server. However, it has also contained a DLL and utility that may conflict with the new x.org binaries' location. So, various name changes and removals... Changes from 4.2.0-4 o /usr/bin/cxpm.exe -- /usr/bin/cxpm-noX.exe o /usr/share/man/man1/cxpm.1 -- /usr/share/man/man1/cxpm-noX.1.gz o /usr/bin/sxpm.exe REMOVED [1] o /usr/share/man/man1/sxpm.1 REMOVED [1] o /usr/bin/cygXpm-X4.dll REMOVED [2] [1] sxpm never had any business in xpm-nox. It is an X program, and the x.org packages will provide this tool (and, presumably, its man page) [2] This DLL has been retained for 5 years, with no known users. It is an X-based compilation of the libXpm code (so it really didn't belong in xpm-nox, either). The real libXpm DLL is distributed in the x.org packages (current and future) under a different name ['cygXpm-4.dll' vs 'cygXpm-X4.dll']. It is the x.org version, cygXpm-4.dll, that all known Xpm clients on cygwin use. After five years of keeping this compatibility library around, I'm now removing it. If removing this DLL causes a problem -- recompile your app to use the official X-based libXpm DLL. -- Chuck To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
