[RFU] stunnel-4.16-1 [repost]
I want to take over maintainership of stunnel, which was abandoned a few weeks ago. I have a new build ready for upload; URLs are below. setup.hint hasn't changed. The package layout hasn't changed either; this is just a point-version update to the current package. Please review as needed, let me know if there are any problems, and otherwise upload.

Why don't I get an xterm ??
Hello, I've recently installed cygwin (with ALL of the x11 stuff) and am trying to open up an xterm, though to no success. I get a pile of messages from startXWin.sh (which to my novice eyes are unintelligible, there is something in there about XF86Config and I've tried reading the cygwin docs on this but the discussion is totally beyond me). Despite this when I type in xterm afterwards I get absolutely no response. I've attached the error messages below. Is there further information that you need, or do you have any advice ??

Re: Perl's use locale don't work on Cygwin ?
Hello, Yitzchak, YST Letting perl know what the encoding of your data is should enable /i to work YST correctly. How you would do this depends on what exactly you are doing; it YST may just require a use encoding 'cp1251';. (I assume 2151 was a typo.) Well, all I got was perfectly formed UTF8 output, and this is not what I've been looking for because now I need somehow to convert UTF8 input to CP1251 to be able to use for database query and ... yes, again do case-insensitive regex on it. As soon as missing locale is an issue for lots of application, including Perl and Postgress, and as soon as maintainers of newlib do not have time or do not want to add this functionality maybe it's possible to add some hooks to use Windows' native locale support ? ActivePerl and MySQL guys did it, it's far from being perfect but at least it works. -- Regards, Sergei Kolodka -- 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/

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: bash-3.1-8
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 A new release of bash, 3.1-8, is now available, replacing 3.1-6 as the current version. The 3.0 series of bash is no longer available from the mirrors. NEWS: = This version was previously released as an experimental version, and the list traffic has been minimal enough that it seemed safe to promote to current. The changes between this release and 3.1-6 are all related to removing several outdated #ifdefs that were once necessary in bash for older versions of cygwin, but which slowed down performance. In particular, bash is now faster and more like Linux when operating on binary mounts; if your script uses \n line endings, bash will read a buffer at a time instead of a byte a time, for much less disk traffic. A script on a binary mount that uses \r\n line endings will probably encounter syntax errors or odd variable assignments, because the \r is treated literally. If this happens to you, use d2u to fix the line endings, or change your script to live in a text mount point. A script that resides on a text mount can have either line ending (even inconsistently mixed), but be aware that text mount points are slower, due to \r\n filtering. Remember, you must not have any bash or /bin/sh instances running when you upgrade the bash package. This release will work with cygwin-1.5.21-1 or later. DESCRIPTION: Bash is an sh-compatible shell that incorporates useful features from the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh). It is intended to conform to the IEEE POSIX P1003.2/ISO 9945.2 Shell and Tools standard. It offers functional improvements over sh for both programming and interactive use. In addition, most sh scripts can be run by Bash without modification. As of the bash 3.0 series, cygwin /bin/sh defaults to bash, not ash, similar to Linux distributions.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: m4-1.4.7-1
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 A new release of m4, 1.4.7-1, is available, replacing 1.4.6-1 as current. NEWS This is a new upstream release. From the NEWS file, the changes since 1.4.6 are listed below. See also /usr/share/doc/m4-1.4.7/. You must rebuild from source if you want the experimental changeword feature enabled, as using it can slow down normal operation, and since it will disappear from the eventual m4 2.0. DESCRIPTION === m4 is an implementation of the traditional Unix macro processor. It is mostly SVR4 compatible although it has some extensions (for example, handling more than 9 positional parameters to macros). GNU m4 also has built-in functions for including files, running shell commands, doing arithmetic, etc. UPDATE == To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.

NEWS file extract: == Version 1.4.7 - 25 September 2006, by Eric Blake (CVS version 1.4.6a) * Fix regression from 1.4.5 in handling a file that ends in a macro expansion without arguments instead of a newline. * The define and pushdef macros now warn when the first argument is not a string, rather than silently doing nothing. * Standard input can now be read more than once, as in 'm4 - file -', and is not closed until all wrapped text is handled. This makes a difference when stdin is not a regular file, and also fixes bugs when using the syscmd or esyscmd macros from wrapped text. * When standard input is a seekable file, the m4exit, syscmd, and esyscmd macros now restore the current position to the next unread byte rather than discarding an arbitrary amount of buffered data. * SysV command-line compatibility is no longer a goal of GNU M4; the focus will be instead on POSIX compatibility. This release continues to support previous usage, but adds warnings in areas which will allow a future version of GNU M4 to use its own extensions without being tied to the SysV command line interface. * The no-op compatibility command line options -B, -N, -S, -T, and --diversions may be withdrawn or assigned new meanings in future releases, so they now issue a warning if used. * A new command line option -i replaces the compatibility -e as the short spelling of --interactive, for consistency with other GNU tools; a warning is issued if the old spelling is used, and it may be assigned new meaning in future releases. * A new command line option --debugfile replaces the options -o and --error-output as the preferred spelling. The old options were misleading in their names and inconsistent with other GNU tools; they are still silently accepted, but no longer documented in --help, and may be assigned new meanings in future releases. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (Cygwin) Comment: Public key at home.comcast.net/~ericblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFGJD084KuGfSFAYARAh3qAKCJa5bcoAU2swh0x2nzzb39EBElQACgog6I NMbnMlKDyRc1dzcseRLieXA= =K4my -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- 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/

Here are some ideas: - Can you start cron running as yourself (option in cron-config) ? Remember, cron won't process users with spaces, but the daemon should keep running. - Can you start anything under cygrunsrv? For example a bash script located in /usr/sbin that writes into some file in /var/log, sleeps for 10 s, then exits - Run as SYSTEM. Ways to do that have been posted on the list. My usual way is to have inetd running with telnetd enabled. Temporarily clear the SYSTEM password field in /etc/password and specify a home dir and a shell for SYSTEM, then telnet into localhost as SYSTEM.

A script that resides on a text mount can have either line ending (even inconsistently mixed), but be aware that text mount points are slower, due to \r\n filtering. Remember, you must not have any bash or /bin/sh instances running when you upgrade the bash package. This release will work with cygwin-1.5.21-1 or later. DESCRIPTION: Bash is an sh-compatible shell that incorporates useful features from the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh). It is intended to conform to the IEEE POSIX P1003.2/ISO 9945.2 Shell and Tools standard. It offers functional improvements over sh for both programming and interactive use. In addition, most sh scripts can be run by Bash without modification. As of the bash 3.0 series, cygwin /bin/sh defaults to bash, not ash, similar to Linux distributions.

Updated: m4-1.4.7-1
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 A new release of m4, 1.4.7-1, is available, replacing 1.4.6-1 as current. NEWS This is a new upstream release. From the NEWS file, the changes since 1.4.6 are listed below. See also /usr/share/doc/m4-1.4.7/. You must rebuild from source if you want the experimental changeword feature enabled, as using it can slow down normal operation, and since it will disappear from the eventual m4 2.0. DESCRIPTION === m4 is an implementation of the traditional Unix macro processor. It is mostly SVR4 compatible although it has some extensions (for example, handling more than 9 positional parameters to macros). GNU m4 also has built-in functions for including files, running shell commands, doing arithmetic, etc. 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 'm4' from the 'Interpreters' category.

NEWS file extract: == Version 1.4.7 - 25 September 2006, by Eric Blake (CVS version 1.4.6a) * Fix regression from 1.4.5 in handling a file that ends in a macro expansion without arguments instead of a newline. * The define and pushdef macros now warn when the first argument is not a string, rather than silently doing nothing. * Standard input can now be read more than once, as in 'm4 - file -', and is not closed until all wrapped text is handled. This makes a difference when stdin is not a regular file, and also fixes bugs when using the syscmd or esyscmd macros from wrapped text. * When standard input is a seekable file, the m4exit, syscmd, and esyscmd macros now restore the current position to the next unread byte rather than discarding an arbitrary amount of buffered data. * SysV command-line compatibility is no longer a goal of GNU M4; the focus will be instead on POSIX compatibility. This release continues to support previous usage, but adds warnings in areas which will allow a future version of GNU M4 to use its own extensions without being tied to the SysV command line interface. * The no-op compatibility command line options -B, -N, -S, -T, and --diversions may be withdrawn or assigned new meanings in future releases, so they now issue a warning if used. * A new command line option -i replaces the compatibility -e as the short spelling of --interactive, for consistency with other GNU tools; a warning is issued if the old spelling is used, and it may be assigned new meaning in future releases. * A new command line option --debugfile replaces the options -o and --error-output as the preferred spelling. The old options were misleading in their names and inconsistent with other GNU tools; they are still silently accepted, but no longer documented in --help, and may be assigned new meanings in future releases. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (Cygwin) Comment: Public key at home.comcast.net/~ericblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFGJD084KuGfSFAYARAh3qAKCJa5bcoAU2swh0x2nzzb39EBElQACgog6I NMbnMlKDyRc1dzcseRLieXA= =K4my -END PGP SIGNATURE-
