All except Right click to extend the region works in mintty, and config file
option RightClickAction=extend changes that to what you want, which also makes
shift-right-click menu, and shift-left-click paste - man mintty is your friend -
search for /right.*click, /extend.*region, or /right.*mouse.

Check out https://github.com/mintty/mintty for even more useful info.

Add support for xterm/rxvt style text selection and inserting to mintty? (was Re: Cygwin alongside WSL)

Actually, after the WSL and Virtual Tabs endeavours, release frequency

Speaking of silly feature requests ...
The main reason I'm not a fan of mintty (and as a result haven't 
switched to cygwin64 on my primary Windows machine -  because it doesn't 
include the non-Xwindows version of rxvt) is that it behaves different 
than xterm/rxvt for copying/pasting text.  I spend most of my time in 
front of linux systems using xterm, rxvt and rxvt-unicode, so I have 
that way of copying/pasting text built into the "microcode" in my hand.  
I've found it quite difficult to adjust to mintty.


Would it be possible to add an option to mintty to support xterm/rxvt 
style copying/pasting (what rxvt calls text selection and inserting) as 
described in the rxvt man page:


   TEXT SELECTION AND INSERTION
   The behaviour of text selection and insertion mechanism is
   similar to xterm(1).

   Selection:
  Left click at the beginning of the region, drag to
   the end of the region
  and release; Right click to extend the marked region;
   Left  double-click
  to select a word; Left triple-click to select the
   entire line.

   Insertion:
  Pressing  and  releasing the Middle mouse button (or
   Shift-Insert) in an
  rxvt window causes the current text selection to be
   inserted  as  if  it
  had been typed on the keyboard.

    thanks,
    Peter

Jari: python package collisions

[Yaakov Selkowitz]

Jari,

Your python-based packages listed below all collide with each other and
python2-setuptools by shipping parts of the latter.  They also bundle
other python libraries instead of shipping them separately.

* pylint: bundles astroid (the successor to logilab-astng)
* python-logilab-common
* python-logilab-astng (obsolete)
* python-paramiko: bundles ecdsa
* spambayes: bundles lockfile, pydns

Furthermore, the non-program modules should be built for both python2
and python3; cygport's python-wheel will do this for you.  The programs
should use whichever of python{2,3}-distutils for the Python version
they require.

[PATCH] make setup mirror list more like web page not just urls

[Brian Inglis]

Hi folks,

[reposted without text attachment to see if patch gets thru]

Working on a FAST_CWD FAQ, looking at the Setup mirror site page and the web
page, I wondered if we could usefully add the mirrors.lst region and territory
(called area and location in the code) to the Setup display, to avoid users
having to refer to the web page to find out where mirrors are based 
geographically.

The first change was to prefix the displayed_url member in site.cc
site_list_type::init "constructor" with "area - location - ".

The sort key was the mirror url host name with the domain components in reverse
order to sort non-country TLDs together before CC TLDs.
The code tested for TLD length == 3 to distinguish between CC and non-CC TLDs,
as this code is over 10 years old and there were only the original com, edu,
gov, mil, net, org non-CC domains, before other gTLDs were added.
That test was changed to handle all gTLDs with length >= 3, to prefix area and
location to the sort key member, reverse the domain components in the servername
field instead of the url host, and suffix the url protocol prefix to keep the
key unique where sites offer both ftp and http mirrors, rather than the whole
url in the original.

For checking, a short script used awk to do the same when fed with mirrors.lst,
produce lines with the displayed url and sort key separated by a tab, and sort
by the key to produce the displayed urls in the same order as the code should.
The output of the script [was] in the first text attachment to show the
displayed urls in the sorted order.

When this was displayed in setup, some of the urls were cut off by the list box
border, estimated about 3 ems too narrow.
The width of the list box and related controls in res.rc was increased by about
30 pixels, and the position of the Add button moved over the same amount, to
give an acceptable display.

The required patch is attached for discussion: some may not like the display of
the default mirror from /etc/setup/setup.rc last_mirror, which appears in the
list as " - - url", as the other mirrors.lst fields are not currently saved
under last_mirror, and more work may be needed to improve this.

This has been a long source of tension between moreutils' author and the
debian packager (probably fedora and other distros too). I don't know off
the top of my head what solution those distros have come up with for the
name conflict but they may be doing something worth investigating and
imitating.

I have made frequent use of mispipe and ts, and would probably use other
pieces of moreutils if I remembered them better, so I'd use and appreciate
a cygwin package of them - assuming a solution is found to the potential
name conflict.

The only online documentation I'm aware of is on the homepage I linked
to, plus a bunch of folk espousing the benefits of the package.

I guess you could also look at the man pages, either in the packages I
uploaded, or the uncompiled source for them at
https://git.joeyh.name/index.cgi/moreutils.git/tree/.

Hmm.  I wasn't aware of GNU parallel, and I'm not sure how that sort of
problem is generally handled.  Possibly that could be broken out into a
separate package to make it easier for folk to install one or the other?
I considered and decided against breaking the entire lot into separate
packages, but this is perhaps a good argument for at least separating
that.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] xpdf 4.00-2

[Ken Brown]

The following package has been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

* xpdf-4.00-2

Xpdf is an open source viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF)
files.  (These are also sometimes called 'Acrobat' files, from the
name of Adobe's PDF software.)  The Xpdf viewer uses the Qt
cross-platform GUI toolkit.  The Xpdf project also includes a PDF text
extractor, PDF-to-PostScript converter, and various other utilities.
These are not included in the Cygwin xpdf package because poppler
provides similar utilities.

This is a rebuild that fixes a font problem (thanks, Yaakov):

  https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2017-11/msg00119.html

I've also applied a patch from

  https://forum.xpdfreader.com/viewtopic.php?f=1=23#p60

that restores the '-remote' option, although with slightly different
syntax than it had before.

xpdf 4.00-2

[Ken Brown]

The following package has been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

* xpdf-4.00-2

Xpdf is an open source viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF)
files.  (These are also sometimes called 'Acrobat' files, from the
name of Adobe's PDF software.)  The Xpdf viewer uses the Qt
cross-platform GUI toolkit.  The Xpdf project also includes a PDF text
extractor, PDF-to-PostScript converter, and various other utilities.
These are not included in the Cygwin xpdf package because poppler
provides similar utilities.

This is a rebuild that fixes a font problem (thanks, Yaakov):

  https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2017-11/msg00119.html

I've also applied a patch from

  https://forum.xpdfreader.com/viewtopic.php?f=1=23#p60

that restores the '-remote' option, although with slightly different
syntax than it had before.

This looks like a really mixed bag… Is there some more documentation
somewhere on the web?

>> -   parallel: run multiple jobs at once

I'd be hesitatnt to package that since it directly clashes with GNU
parallel (not available on Cygwin yet).

SUMMARY="X.Org X Pixmap library -- no X required"
DESCRIPTION="A version of the X.Org X Pixmap library that does not require an X
server, and provides none of the X-based display routines.  It
provides tools and libraries for manipulating XPM images.  It is
useful if you have an application that needs to read and write Xpm
format files, but either does not display them or handles display
itself, without accessing X11 services."

[ITP] moreutils 0.61

[Adam Dinwoodie]

I'm looking to package moreutils, a collection of small Linux utilities.
It is already included in Debian and Ubuntu (amongst others), and is
released under GPLv2.

Homepage: https://joeyh.name/code/moreutils/
Debian package: https://packages.debian.org/sid/utils/moreutils
Ubuntu package: https://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/moreutils
Proposed Cygwin packaging: https://tastycake.net/~adam/cygwin/

Quoting from the moreutils homepage:

Did you mean https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/MiniDebugInfo 
Presumably you intend this for Cygwin binaries.



The patch for cygport would be minimal.  Is it worth the size increase?


The benefit to Fedora is obvious, in that it would increase the quality 
of the automated bug reports. Do we have an equivalent in Cygwin (or is 
one planned)? Right now, we don't have so many backtraces sent in to the 
main list, but who knows - if they were easier to generate then we might.


How would this work for Cygwin? Would we require all the lib.* packages 
to be rebuilt?

You're right.  Struct stat is exposed to user space so changing this is
bound to break existing applications.  We *might* get away lightly with
just adding a member to the end as in this case, but is the support for
DOS flags actually worth it?  It's still a hassle to support new and old
apps in Cygwin in such cases.

An executable has the version info of the Cygwin version at the
time of building compiled in.  This is used in Cygwin to check
what an executable expects.

See winsup/cygwin/include/cygwin/version.h and the usage of the
checks throughout the code.
