No, it's fine. I was just addressing the problem itself to point out where it probably occurs. I assume that it works fine when using casesensitive mount points under 1.7. I assume further that the problem is the same as old versions of coreutils had when only trying to change the case of a name on a caseinsensitive filesystem, basically along these lines. stat (old_path, ost) if (stat (new_path, nst) == 0) /* Uh oh, target exists */ if (ost.st_ino == nst.st_ino ost.st_dev == nst.st_dev) /* Even worse, it's the same file */ Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- 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: grep -P regexp problem
Andriy Sen wrote: Below is an example of the problem. G:\cat test.s a 1 G:\cat test.s | grep -P [^0]1 a 1 This is not cygwin-specific, so it is really OT for this list, that being said... grep -P treats the whole input as a single string, and outputs the line (or lines) containing the match for the pattern. [^0] matches ANYTHING except 0, including linefeeds. In your case, the [^0] is matching the linefeed preceding the 1. That linefeed is considered part of the line a\n, so that line is included in the output. In other words, although it looks like there are two matches output, in fact there is only one match, and that is a\n1\n Assuming you wish to match single lines containing a character other than 0 followed by a 1, you probably want the pattern to be '[^0\n]1' It's probably a bit clearer if the test file is a bit bigger: $ echo -e 'a\n1\n2\n3\n4\n1\n2\n21\n' test.txt $ grep -P '[^0]1' test.txt a 1 4 1 21 This output contains 3 matches a\n1\n 4\n1\n and 21\n, whereas: $ grep -P '[^0\n]1' test.txt 21 only matches single lines with a 1 that follows anything but 0.

[boost and xerces] ping maintainers
First, thank-you for supporting these packages in Cygwin. It's appreciated very much, at least by me. From the mailing list archives, it appears the last boost package (v1.33.1) was rolled in 01/08, and the last xerces package (v2.8.0) in 05/08. Any possibility of updating them to the current releases (i.e., boost v1.38.0 and xerces v3.0.1)?

I thank you both for enlightning me on this subject. I'm using the Thunderbird email client. I have observed that it is wrongly using the Return-Path and not the Reply-To even in the email composing phase before the ISP gets involved. I'll watch that more or seekout a RFC compliant email client. Just doing a Reply is definitely NOT an automated response. Thanks for the unblock.

Note also how all those paths have a Mail-Followup-To header pointing at the list. Any mailer that does not respect that when you hit Reply is broken and does not comply with internet standards.

I did try the pdftk on an f1040.pdf download but I finally had to install Acrobat Reader to look at the forms and fill it in. pdftk let me examine the filled in form but there was not immediate way to identify form fields- I have to look for meaningful names etc. I guess if I could enter input data into something I could use it would be worthwhile writing a script to fill out the form. I'll use a web form for a few lines of input but if I have to type 100 numbers into an information black hole I'm happy to kill a tree or two.

Active FTP Issue with inetutils 1.5
Hi, I apologize if this should be in the apps list and not here but it seems like it might get more views here. Let me preface this by saying that I have done some research and sniffing of this from both sides on a few machines (all windows 32 or 64 bit) and have seen the same thing on them all. I have also done a little reading in the RFC's on FTP. I can't find an explanation for this and that is why I'm posting this question. Synopsis: Active FTP data connections are NOT being sourced from port 20 as stated in the RFC. I saw a post for a fix in 1.5.4 that stated this: * fixed bug in ftpd that prevented large file transfers with recent 1.5.x cygwin kernels. Reported by antony baxter. (worked around by disabling MMAP and limiting buffer sizes to 4k). I don't know if the issue I'm seeing is related and I don't know if 1.5.4 fixes this issue since I can't load the system with 1.5.4. (not my system but I'll try to get someone to do it if someone thinks this has been fixed or if someone tests on a newer version to let me know it's fixed) When I make an active FTP connection to a server running cygwin it does the usual port 21 control channel without an issue. This allows small amounts of data across it without the need for a separate data connection. However when I do a large file transfer or a large ls -al command it opens the data connection and completes. When I sniff this I can see that the client sends the PORT command to the server. The server is suppose to open a connection back to the client at the IP and PORT specified in the data packet from the client. The connection that the server makes back to the client, according to the RFC, is suppose to be sourced at port 20. However I can see that the server sources the connection at the next high order port back to the client. Most firewalls seem to allow this however some firewalls/access lists/proxies don't seem to allow this. I can't find any documentation to support a server being able to source the data connection on active FTP at any other port besides 20. This is easy to test. Use an FTP client that can make an active FTP connection. Do a packet capture and watch to see what port the remote side (i.e server) uses when connecting back to you. Keep in mind if you're going through a proxy/firewall it may change the port, especially if you're NAT'ing. It's best to do this test with no firewall in the way. If the source port is not 20 then that is the issue I'm seeing. If it is port 20 then please let me know what version of inetutils and cygwin you are running. I'm sorry I haven't tested this with the latest version. Maybe this is an easy answer however if someone knows for sure I would love to be able to get some feedback on this issue.

Re: Download first time in fresh root node hangs - twice
The original problem was resolved after a reboot. There were other funny (Ha-Ha) things going on too.

Re: [boost and xerces] ping maintainers
b...@nc.rr.com wrote: First, thank-you for supporting these packages in Cygwin. It's appreciated very much, at least by me. From the mailing list archives, it appears the last boost package (v1.33.1) was rolled in 01/08, and the last xerces package (v2.8.0) in 05/08. Any possibility of updating them to the current releases (i.e., boost v1.38.0 and xerces v3.0.1)? Don't know about boost. For xerces, I'm slowly rebuilding all of my packages for cygwin-1.7 (and typically, one final rebuild for cygwin-1.5). So, I'll get to xerces eventually, but it is possible that a xerces-3.x might be cygwin-1.7-only. -- Chuck -- 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/

I don't have any insight into your problem but I wanted to respond to this. I'm not singling your out, Curt. This just brings up a topic that's good to review every once in a while, for people who aren't sure how to pick the list to send their posting to. :-) If you look at http://cygwin.com/lists.html, it says that the Cygwin list is for discussion of just about all things related to the Cygwin community release, minus some exceptions I've omitted (but these are easy enough to find and read at the link I mentioned above.) cygwin-apps is for discussing packaging issues regarding applications that are distributed with the Cygwin DLL. In your case Curt, since what you're posting here is a question about the workings of FTP within the inetutils package and not an issue with its packaging, you made the right choice. We do very strongly encourage everyone to use the information at the link above to determine which list to use for your posting. Obviously, you may still end up choosing the wrong list sometimes but your chances of getting it right will be greatly increased and you'll get some points for making the effort. And, of course, on the off-chance that you choose the wrong list for your posting, someone here will tell you. ;-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
