[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: checkbashisms 2.15.8-1 -- Check for bashisms in /bin/sh scripts

[Jari Aalto]

PACKAGE DESCRIPTION
===

Homepage: Utility collection project http://packages.debian.org/devscripts
License : GPL

Perform basic checks on /bin/sh shell scripts for the possible
presence of bashisms. It takes the names of the shell scripts on the
command line, and outputs warnings if possible bashisms are detected.
Note that the definition of a bashism in this context roughly equates
to 'a shell feature that is not required to be supported by POSIX';
this means that some issues flagged may be permitted under optional
sections of POSIX, such as XSI or User Portability.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: potrace 1.12-1 -- Utility to transform bitmaps into vector graphics

[Jari Aalto]

PACKAGE DESCRIPTION
===

Homepage: http://freecode.com/projects/potrace
License : GPL

Utility for tracing a bitmap, which means, transforming a bitmap into
a smooth, scalable image. The input is a bitmap (PBM, PGM, PPM, or BMP
format), and the default output is an encapsulated PostScript file
(EPS). A typical use is to create EPS files from scanned data, such as
company or university logos, handwritten notes, etc. The resulting
image is not "jaggy" like a bitmap, but smooth. It can then be
rendered at any resolution.

Well, RTFS for the win: setup/main.cc, line 290 purposely fails to initialize 
the logger when it’s running with elevated permissions, as it will be when 
running under UAC.

I can think of some weak reasons why that might be the case, but nothing that 
convinces me that this is the right thing to do.

Anyway, this has drifted off topic for this list.  Anyone who cares enough to 
take it further should move the discussion to the cygwin-apps list.

I would expect it to re-run *everything* not marked .done in /etc/postinstall, 
and the autorebase script is never so marked.

The autorebase mechanism has a “fast” mode, which should be running, as opposed 
to the “full” mode, which is slower.  Verify that by the existence of 
/var/cache/rebase/fullrebase.done.

(Yeah, that’s right, watch me flex my new autorebase muscles.  Beware the 
Dunning-Kruger effect!)

Nope.  I said “chmod 666 /var/log/setup.log”, and setup.exe still isn’t writing 
anything new to it.

(That resulted in 606 permissions, for some reason.  I have no idea why I 
effectively have an 0070 umask on this system, even though “umask” from the 
normal Cygwin terminal says 0022.)

Then, since I thought I remembered that setup.exe had a mode where it wrote 
debugging stuff to stdout/stderr, I tried running “setup-x86_64.exe -vB” from a 
dash admin shell, but got nothing on the console.

rebase by setup

[Buchbinder, Barry (NIH/NIAID) [E]]

Running setup in unattended mode runs rebase even if nothing is
installed.  Is this intended/necessary?

I run setup every day when I boot and rebasing is time consuming.
Not really a problem but it is annoying.

Thanks,

I’ve just checked the source package, and you’re right.  That means my system 
got broken sometime after February 5, 2015 the last time _autorebase was 
updated.

Alas, I already reinstalled it while debugging the problem.

Put "mkdir -p ${b}" somewhere near the top of 0p_000_autorebase.dash or 
rebaselst.

Well, here’s a fun find: The last time that file was written to was November 4, 
2014, even though I did two or there setup.exe passes today while composing my 
prior reply.

$ getfacl /var/log/setup.log
# file: /var/log/setup.log
# owner: Warren
# group: Warren
user::rw-
group::---
other:r—

So, why is setup.exe not writing to it?  604 is a weird permission set, but 
does it really need world writability?

I get the same permission set when saying “touch x” on this box.

Windows 10, 64-bit.

Sourcing that script would actually belong into /etc/bash.bashrc if I
understand correctly what this is supposed to do.  Unfortunaltely there
is no infrastructure set up to do this yet in bash.bashrc and simply
changing the file makes it non-upgradeable.  OTOH what I see there on my
Linux system is far too complicated for Cygwin, I'll have to think about
this some more.

No, that should indeed be left to the user.

This address is really low, so either some BLODA interferes with the
loading of the DLL or you're having far too many packages installed than
can possibly coexist on a 32bit installation.

If it's a real-time virus scanner, especially of the heuristical sort,
you need to exempt all installation paths for DLL used by Cygwin from
getting picked up.

So the rebase map changed and you're now having the same problem with
different libraries, interestingly enough in about the same address
range.  Unless the image base of those two libraries really now is
0x37 and 0x27 (which I doubt, there are many more libraries that
come _after_ those in a full rebase), then that is again hinting at
BLODA.  Do you use any (perhaps commercial) software that is based on
Cygwin or MSys under the hood?  Their DLL will have a high propensity of
interfering with Cygwin unless you include them in the rebase or block
out the range of image addresses that they use.

They actually are packaged, so I'm not sure why they wouldn't be
available on your system.  In other words you should see an "incomplete"
package from cygcheck and a re-installation should fix it.

I'll check if I can just re-create the directory if it doesn't exist.

It's also part of the fzf project, and making extensive changes like

It isn't feasible at all, touching user's profile scripts is a ready recipe
for disaster.

It doesn’t actually care what the file is called.  I expect the only reason the 
docs tell you to name it that way is in case there are multiple users on the 
system, they’re all running from a common Cygwin installation, and each may 
have their own set of customizations.

I don’t see that it’s a foregone conclusion that admin privs are required for 
that step.  The file that script creates could be in a user-writeable 
directory.  Nevertheless, the maintainer of that doc file probably should 
consider mentioning the possibility.

While investigating this, I found that the rebase mechanism isn’t as robust as 
it should be.

The core problem I ran into is that /var/cache/rebase and /var/lib/rebase/*.d 
didn’t exist on my system, and this caused various complaints and failures.  I 
propose that the _autorebase maintainer add those directories to the package, 
so they’re always available.

/var/cache/rebase is the critical one: without it, the rebase-trigger script 
can’t set the trigger, so the rebasing will never happen.  The lack of the 
others just causes nonfatal complaints.

To do it by hand, start Dash with admin privs as you did before — this next bit 
really does require admin — then type:

/etc/postinstall/0p_*

If it gives errors other than ones about missing /var/lib/rebase/*.d 
directories, post them here, or fix them.  Once I fixed all the errors I got 
here, full autorebasing via setup.exe started working again.

(Which makes me wonder how it got broken, since the Windows VM I tested this on 
isn’t used heavily, and was created not all that long ago.)

> After doing so, I rebooted and tested again

You should not have to reboot.  If you do, it means you’re ignoring complaints 
from setup.exe about files being in use during the installation, which could be 
part of the problem.

Shut down *everything* linked to cygwin1.dll, however indirectly, while 
setup.exe and the rebasing processes run.

You expect direct personal consultation?  My fee for that is $100/hr, and 
you’ve chewed up one hour already.  Where shall I send the bill? :)

Mmmkay.  So I'll find somewhere else to put the zsh and fish specific
scripts (I've already found somewhere for fish, and I'll take your word
that zsh also has a similar directory).

That, however, doesn't give me anywhere to put the Bash fzf script.
It's not POSIX compliant, so I don't want to use ".sh".  I can't
find any directory other than /etc/profile.d that Bash trawls, though.

The only other option I can think of is to rename the .bash file to .sh
and to patch it to check $BASH_VERSION before running the Bash-specific
code.  That seems fragile though -- it means putting Bashisms in a
script that may be run by non-Bash shells (even if it's gated by
checking $BASH_VERSION), and it means a patch of the upstream fzf Bash
script in a way that's essentially just duplicating code already in
/etc/profile.

(The upstream solution to this is to add code to the user's ~/.bashrc to
source the relevant scripts, but I don't think that's feasible when
installing the scripts via setup-*.exe.)

No, this section is specific to zsh and probably even the wrong thing to
do -- /etc/profile is only ever intended to be run by POSIX compatible
shells (or shells in POSIX mode if they support that notion).  I've kept
it alive for the time being since nothing packaged in Cygwin depends on

Bash can use ".sh" with the proviso that you can only use the POSIX
subset of its functionality.  Other, non-POSIX, shells should implement
something similar in their own startup scripts.  Csh already does, I
don't know enough about fish to tell how to insert something into its
start-up.  IIRC, Zsh also has a way to run extra code besides just the
one in /etc/profile if you somehow need that.

The `profile_d sh` command is run for all shells that execute that file;
looking at the code that appears to be at least Bash, Korn, Z and Posh.
I'm looking for `profile_d bash` and the like -- fzf's implementation
for Bash isn't going to be appropriate to run for other shells.

Okay, I'd assumed Fish would use /etc/profile, but if not I'll look at
finding some alternative for that.

Note that /etc/profile is only for Bourne-compatible shells; those that
are not must use their own mechanism to accomplish the same thing (e.g.
tcsh in /etc/csh.cshrc).  As fish has a different syntax, it may fall
into this category as well.

It also works for generic ".sh" files (see directly above that monstrous `if`

For what it's worth, I don't know any adopted 'standard' extension for bash,
other than '.sh', which is already covered.

As I mentioned earlier, it works for generic .sh files. Also, please pay
attention to the note placed in the zsh section that it is probably a BAD IDEA
to do that in this particular manner.

[Attn: base-files maintainer] Changing /etc/profile to add more shell-dependent settings

[Adam Dinwoodie]

Achim,

The /etc/defaults/etc/profile file in base-files has a section at the
end to import scripts in /etc/profile.d, but this currently only works
with zsh.

Can this section be expanded to make calls as appropriate for other
shells?  I'm particularly interested in Fish and Bash, although I don't
see any reason to limit the change to those shells.

I care about this because I'm currently investigating packaging fzf[0].
The obvious way to include the shell-specific keyboard shortcuts for fzf
is to add them to /etc/profile.d, but currently that only works for
Z-Shell.

I'm happy to provide a patch if that'd make things easier.

Adam

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: mesa-11.0.3-1

[Yaakov Selkowitz]

The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution:

* dri-drivers-11.0.3-1
* libEGL1-11.0.3-1
* libEGL-devel-11.0.3-1
* libGL1-11.0.3-1
* libGL-devel-11.0.3-1
* libGLESv2_2-11.0.3-1
* libGLESv2-devel-11.0.3-1
* libglapi0-11.0.3-1
* libOSMesa8-11.0.3-1
* libOSMesa-devel-11.0.3-1
* windowsdriproto-11.0.3-1

Mesa is an open-source implementation of the OpenGL, EGL, and OpenGL ES
specifications for rendering interactive 3D graphics.

This is an update to the latest upstream bugfix release:

http://mesa3d.org/relnotes/11.0.3.html

Note that OpenGL 4.1 support is still incomplete for the llvmpipe and
softpipe drivers, so software rendering will still report only 3.0.

How to correctly rebase?

[Dr Rainer Woitok]

Cygwinners,

Currently I'm a bit at my wit's end :-/

I locally built a product from source (Gdal), and while running the test
programs, I got

   python2.7 8800 child_info_fork::abort: unable to remap _gdalconst.dll
   to same address as parent (0x26) - try running rebaseall

Searching a bit, I found

   /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/_autorebase.README

telling me to place the list of absolute paths  of my personal DLLs into
/var/lib/rebase/user.d/Rainer",  to run  "rebase-trigger fullrebase" (it
didn't advice to run this from a privileged account, but I found out my-
self), and finally to simply run "setup_x86.exe" in the normal way, that
is, without any other Cygwin processes executing.

After doing so, I rebooted and tested again, but this time I got

   python2.7 8136 child_info_fork::abort: address space needed by
   '_io.dll' (0x37) is already occupied
   2324 [main] python2.7 9104 child_info_fork::abort: unable to remap
   time.dll to same address as parent (0x27) - try running rebaseall

However, these two libraries are both residing in

   /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/

and have nothing to do with my own Gdal libraries.  And running Mercuri-
al or almost any other  Python application now fails,  asking me to "try
running rebaseall".  I then tried to run

   rebaseall -v -T /var/lib/rebase/user.d/Rainer

directly from a privileged Ash Shell (again without any other Cygwin ac-
tivity) returning me a fine list of new bases and  sizes for all librar-
ies, but Python still refuses to work.

What did I do wrong  (to avoid it  in the future)  but more importantly,
how can I remedy the current situation?

Any quick help appreciated, since Python and Mercurial are vital for me.

Sincerely,
  Rainer
