Problem with installing the X environment

2007-12-25 Thread David Garber
Deal all,
 
After installing the cygwin several times, when I tryy to open the X by xinit, 
I got again and again this error:
 Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/*/, removing from 
list!
and the X window is closed. 
 
Although in the FAQ it says that in case it happens and the X is closed 
immediately, I have to do some umount. But when I do that, it says: no such 
file or directory.
 
When I run it with xwin, I got the window, but if I try to run xterm  or 
anything else, I got exit 53 immediately afterwards.
 
Can someone of you help me to activate the X?
 
BTW, my computer is notebook Dell Latitude D430.
 
Thank you very much, 
David Garber.

Asciidoc 8.2.3+ breaks git manpages

2007-12-25 Thread Alexey Borzenkov
Hi everyone,

I wonder if nobody noticed this yet, but since Asciidoc 8.2.3 git manpages are
broken in regard that gitlink macro is not handled correctly, and what you see
when issuing git --help is a lot of [1], [2], [3], etc that are completely
unreadable. I found this offending line in asciidoc.conf:

# Explicit so they can be nested.
(?su)[\\]?(?Pname(http||link)):(?Ptarget\S*?)(\[(?Pattrlist.*?)\])=

If you add \b in front on (http||link) the macro then behaves correctly
(because it will match only when link is not preceded with other letters). This
is upstream bug and I wonder who is at fault here (git or asciidoc?).

 Hello:
 
 I have a Windows 2003 SBS server.
 
 I have set up cygwin SSHD so I can connect to it

 I can SSH and SFTP to the machine successfully using

 I want to set up a couple Domain Users to be able

 The users are in Active Directory so I first changed

 I then created the password and group files using
 these commands from the Cygwin shell using the
 Administrator account.
   mkpasswd -l -d  /etc/passwd
   mkgroup -l -d  /etc/group
 
 Next, I logged in as one of the users, ran the cygwin
 shell and ran ssh-user-config
 
 Now, from remote, I can ssh to the machine using the
 domain user's account.
 
 But, when I try top SFTP, I get error 128.
 
 According to something I read on the Internet, this means
 the domain user cannot execute the SFTP subsystem.
 
 I set permissions of read and execute for Domain Users
 on the entire C:\Cygwin heirarchy to no avail.
 
 Any ideas what went wrong?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: perl-5.10.0-1 [EXPERIMENTAL]

2007-12-25 Thread Reini Urban

The cygwin perl packages perl and perl_manpages have
been updated in the experimental branch to 5.10.0-1.
  Click on [Exp]

Several libraries will follow soon. When all libraries have been updated 
we can switch from Experimental to Current.


perl-5.10.0 cygwin notes:

This release is binary incompatible with the previous 5.8 releases, but
compatible to all future 5.10.x releases. That's why we named the main
perl DLL /bin/cygperl5_10.dll and not cygperl5_10_0.dll.

The requirements for the special perl link driver ld2 and perlld had
been removed.

Cygwin mount point information is now accessible, esp. text/binary
detection.

Some modules have been added to vendor_perl, but most of the old vendor
modules moved to CORE.
Included are Bundle::CPAN, CPAN::Reporter, XML::LibXML and several
Test modules.
Note: Installed modules (e.g. via CPAN) in site_perl have higher
precedence than vendor_perl modules. So you can easily update these.

See http://www.perl.org/
ChangeLog: http://perldoc.perl.org/perldelta.html
Cygwin README: http://perldoc.perl.org/perlcygwin.html

Vendor patches:
* CYG04 - major.version cygperl5_10.dll and not cygperl5_10_x.dll
* CYG11 - no-bs Empty .bs files are not generated anymore

Update recommendations:
---

Since 5.10 is not installed in parallel to 5.8 (it is possible, but not
with this package), all your old 5.8 modules will need to be reinstalled
for 5.10.
Your old 5.8 modules are not deleted, just not accessible to 5.10.
Non-binary packages can be used by adding /usr/lib/perl5/site_lib/5.8 to
your @INC, but the below procedure is recommended to get the latest
version for each installed package.
This will not harm most of your previous 5.8 modules in case you want to
switch back to 5.8, just the /bin scripts might get overwritten.

BEFORE INSTALLATION of 5.10 !
# get the list of installed 5.8 modules
$ perl -MExtUtils::Installed \
  -e'print join(\n, new ExtUtils::Installed-modules)'  module.list

AFTER INSTALLATION of 5.10 !
# install all previous modules for 5.10
$ cpan `cat module.list`


Detailed NEWS from README
-
5.10.0-1

- Configure -de -Dmksymlinks -Duse64bitint -Dusethreads -Uusemymalloc \
-Doptimize='-O3' -Dman3ext='3pm' -Dusesitecustomize
  (unchanged from 5.8)

- cygwin /bin g+w incompatible with TAINT (-T)
  The default directory permissions for /bin drwxrwxr-x is incompatible
  with perl tainting. chmod g-w /bin to allow perl -T scripts to run
  without warnings.

- included vendor_perl packages

  Rationale: Same local vendor_perl packages included as in 5.8.7,
  plus some of the new CPAN packages which went to core with 5.9.5,
  Bundle::CPAN, CPAN::Reporter, Module::Build for a full CPAN bootstrap,
  and the new patched libXML packages, and some almost-core
  dependencies:

  Pod-Escapes-1.04 Pod-Simple-3.05 Test-Pod-1.26
  Devel-Symdump-2.08 Pod-Coverage-0.19 Test-Pod-Coverage-1.08
  Compress-Raw-Bzip2-2.008 IO-Compress-Bzip2-2.008 Compress-Bzip2-2.09

This new release of Cygwin is about 10x slower than 1.5.24-2, after
recompiling the programs.  I went back to the older Cygwin release and
normal speed was restored.

I am running Cygwin on a Intel Q6600 (2.4 GHz quad core) running Vista

Any idea how to find out where the bottleneck(s) are?

RE: SFTP error 128

2007-12-25 Thread Mr Webber
You need both local and domain accounts in Cygwin.
Restore your local accounts (especially root) by re-running
/etc/postinstall/passwd-grp.sh.done.

Then add your domain accounts by APPENDING () to the passwd and group
files.

Detailed NEWS from README
-
5.10.0-1

- Configure -de -Dmksymlinks -Duse64bitint -Dusethreads -Uusemymalloc \
-Doptimize='-O3' -Dman3ext='3pm' -Dusesitecustomize
  (unchanged from 5.8)

- cygwin /bin g+w incompatible with TAINT (-T)
  The default directory permissions for /bin drwxrwxr-x is incompatible
  with perl tainting. chmod g-w /bin to allow perl -T scripts to run
  without warnings.

- included vendor_perl packages

  Rationale: Same local vendor_perl packages included as in 5.8.7,
  plus some of the new CPAN packages which went to core with 5.9.5,
  Bundle::CPAN, CPAN::Reporter, Module::Build for a full CPAN bootstrap,
  and the new patched libXML packages, and some almost-core
  dependencies:
