1.7: 'whatis' doesn't work; apropos does
* 'man' is installed. * 'cygcheck' says ok * 'makewhatis' is run after each run of setup. * 'apropos' works fine * 'whatis' does not For example: * 'man ls' works * 'apropos dir' finds 'ls' among other commands/libraries/etc * whatis 'ls' doesn't work $ type whatis whatis is hashed (/bin/whatis) ideas? bugs?

Doing my bi-weekly update of my 1.7 installation, I noticed that it download my whole installation again and took at least an hour to perform at RR speeds. I was in the hospital for a while so I was out of it for a while when I deleted a bunch of old mail messageg but I looked first.

(That was an hour download at 55kb/sec) Did I just pass thru the Twilight Zone?? :+) -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
cygwin 1.7: perl/perl package has wrong description
I have a cygwin 1.7 installation, and went to install perl today. I noticed that both perl/perl and perl/perl_manpages both have the same description, "perl manpages". -- Bruce Cran -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
getsubopt in wrong header
Per POSIX, getsubopt should be in , not (kind of stupid, though, since getopt is in ). I'll work on a patch, if no one beats me to it. -- Eric Blake -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Incorrect 1.7 FAQ Link
Hi, The link is incorrect in the Setting up Cygwin section of the 1.7 FAQ, question 6 "After upgrading from Cygwin 1.5 to Cygwin 1.7 my user mount points disappeared! How can I get them back?". It is currently http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table but I believe it should be http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table, as it should relate to /etc/fstab. It's a question that's likely to be checked out by 1.7 testers (like me) so thought it was worth pointing out (I'd be happy to fix it, but documentation doesn't seem to be community editable?). Cheers, Keith -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

If this is not a daemon connection, then it's probably the cygwin pipe-hang bug.
