Re: git alias for "status" not working

[David Dombrowsky]

FYI: after the latest cygwin update to git v 2.12.3, this is no longer
a problem.

Setting an alias like "st = status -uno" works as expected.  Many
thanks to the maintainer.

PHP zip extension broken with libzip

[Joni Eskelinen]

This has been a long standing bug, but i just recently sought out the cause.

The following snippets fails in currently packaged php:
open("test.zip", ZipArchive::CREATE | ZipArchive::OVERWRITE);
$zip->addFromString("foo.txt", "foo");
$zip->close();

With a warning:
Warning: ZipArchive::close(): Renaming temporary file failed: Illegal
seek in /tmp/zip.php on line 5

It appears that the problem lies in libzip. If the extension is built
without `--with-libzip=/usr`, the error doesn't emerge. When libzip is
not available, extension is built with a bundled zip implementation.

To test, navigating into `ext/zip` in php source.

Test with bundled library:
phpize && LDFLAGS='-lpcre' ./configure && make test

Test with libzip:
phpize && LDFLAGS='-lpcre' ./configure --with-libzip=/usr && make test

Latter produces 19 failed tests.

You're making it sound like I'm actively trying to hurt you. Rather,
it's a case where it is a problem that doesn't affect me personally, and
I have limited enough spare time as it is, so I haven't yet tried to
reproduce things to see if I can isolate what behavior changed.

I would love help solving the issue.  Absent that help, you'll just have
to wait for me to have time.

 It's unsurprising that
 2.878 didn't fix this, as it didn't contain any 
 changes intended to.
 
 However, since I had the code open in my
 editor, I took look at this...

I didn't expect it to work, but didn't hurt to try it. Thanks for looking at it.

Behavior is still the same - no prompt for a password, and fails to get setup 
(popup message).
I tried both use IE settings, and Use HTTP/FTP proxy with proxy name and port.
Logs are as follows:

Yes, that was my first thought.  But there's no longer a source file for

I would think you can use the same SRC_URI as previously, but set
PKG_CONTENTS="" and PKG_IGNORE="*" ?


You're right, I can do something like that.  I was being overly pedantic
in wanting SRC_URI to be "accurate".  Sorry for the noise.


You can always make an empty tarball called 
texlive-collection-htmlxml-20170515.tar.xz or whatever, and use that for 
SRC_URI.

I think that "403 forbidden" means that this request is prohibited by 
the configuration of the proxy, so really you need to contact whoever 
administers it.


Since curl/wget works to fetch the same URLs through that proxy, it 
might be that the user-agent is disallowed, possibly you could test this 
by attempting trying with --user-agent="Cygwin Setup"?

Good idea, thanks.  But it turns out that there's another problem: 
cygport won't actually create an empty binary tarball in this situation.


The relevant code is in pkg_pkg.cygpart around lines 149--163, 
especially this part:


elif (( pkg_count == 1 ))
then
pkg_contents="*"
else
pkg_contents=

We get here if PKG_CONTENTS is unset or empty.  (There's actually no 
test to see if it's set but empty.)  In the situation under discussion, 
this results in pkg_contents="*" followed by a tar error.


Yaakov, shouldn't the user be allowed to explicitly set PKG_CONTENTS 
empty and have cygport honor that, at least for obsolete packages?

It's code I'm not familiar with, so I'm adding upstream bug-bash in the
hopes that Chet might have an answer to why this code was changed, and
if he is aware that the change may have broken things on Cygwin.

Looking at JUST this line, I am also reminded that Cygwin dll handling
is weird.  For example, when building bash for Cygwin, I have to add the
following (currently-downstream-only, but maybe I should propose it
upstream) patch to bashline.c:

+#if __CYGWIN__
+#  ifdef __x86_64__
+#define IMP(x) __imp_##x
+#  else
+#define IMP(x) _imp__##x
+#  endif
+#else
+#  define IMP(x) x
+#endif

@@ -498,11 +513,12 @@ initialize_readline ()
   kseq[0] = CTRL('J');
   kseq[1] = '\0';
   func = rl_function_of_keyseq (kseq, emacs_meta_keymap, (int *)NULL);
-  if (func == rl_vi_editing_mode)
+  extern rl_command_func_t *IMP(rl_vi_editing_mode);
+  if (func == rl_vi_editing_mode || func == IMP(rl_vi_editing_mode))
 rl_unbind_key_in_map (CTRL('J'), emacs_meta_keymap);

and similar.  That is, anywhere that bash refers to an exported readline
function pointer, checking for equality on Cygwin works only if I check
both the original function name AND the __imp_rl_* function name, based
on how importing functions works with dlls (perhaps that's a gcc bug
that gcc doesn't automatically perform BOTH checks under the hood when
looking for C function pointer compatibility, but I'm not enough of a
compiler expert to know WHY it is needed, just that it solved issues
that didn't work otherwise).  I wonder if the comparison against
rl_insert is incomplete, and needs to also check against __imp_rl_insert?

Probably because I did not even see the post at the time. (While I try
to keep up with Cygwin email, I also get hundreds of other mails per
day, and when Cygwin is limited to my free time, sometimes things slip
through the cracks).  In life, and therefore in open source, it is often
that the squeaky wheel gets the grease; if something isn't getting the
attention you think it deserves, it is not bad to ping the thread to
bring it back to the forefront.

Thanks for the ping. I've now replied to that thread to ask upstream
bash for help in deciphering if Chet, who wrote the code, might be aware
of why it is breaking things.

That said, I still hope to get a closer look at it myself when I have a
nice chunk of time; but the trick is still getting that nice chunk of time.

It was inspired by the discussion starting with

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2015-05/msg7.html

The idea is to optimize pasted input using the assumption that it will be
mostly composed of characters that map to self-insert, and you can batch
read those characters and perform one display update.

The way to test whether or not a character will be inserted into the
editing buffer is to see whether or not it maps directly to self-insert.
If that's the problem, there will have to be a cygwin-specific fix; it
works elsewhere.

Does it work if you try user agent combos of
{Cygwin-Setup,CygwinSetup}/{2.878-3,2.878}?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: orpie 1.5.2-3

[Andrew Schulman]

orpie 1.5.2-3 is now available in Cygwin. In this release, orpie has been
rebuilt against the shiny new libgsl19, leaving behind crufty old libgsl0, for
your premium calculating experience. That's it. I recommend that you upgrade.

Orpie is a fullscreen RPN calculator for the console.  Its operation is similar
to that of modern HP calculators, but data entry has been optimized for
efficiency on a PC keyboard.  Features include extensive scientific calculator
functionality, command completion, and a visible interactive stack.

Andrew E. Schulman
