I just built emacs with the new binutils, both 64 bit and 32 bit.  No problems

GLM for MinGW at same version of the ones for CYGWIN?

2021-03-02 Thread Carlo B. via Cygwin
Hello,
with reference to this thread:
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-December/247106.html
recently, GLM for CYGWIN has been updated to 0.9.9.5.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to do the same thing and update
the GLM packages for MinGW to the same version. An update will
simplify some things because, unlike 0.9.7, no additional patches are
required.

Sincerely.

I have no idea how we could fix that, other than by rebuilding the DLLs
which call uname, too.  We can't check the Cygwin build of all DLLs an
executable is linked to.

These directories aren't normally created by the install scripts, but
by the /etc/profile script the first time you create a login shell.
You should see a message saying "Copying skeleton files. // These
files are for the users to personalise their cygwin experience." when
that happens.

Therefore the key question here: how are you starting Cygwin?

Uninstall python 2.7 fails - alternative dependencies

2021-03-02 Thread Doug Henderson via Cygwin
I attempted to remove all packages related to Python 2.7 from my
cygwin installation.

I am unable to remove four packages.

python2
python27
python27-pip
python27-setuptools

There are over 500 packages that require python2 and over 700 packages
which depend2 on python2.

There are also around 90 packages that refer to both python2 and
python3 packages. I have many of these packages installed. I suspect
that at least some of these actually require either python2 or
python3, but do not require both.

To assist in supporting this kind of requirement, is there a way to
create a package whose requirements are resolved by either of several
other packages?

For instance, could we have a package e.g. python-alternatives, that
when required is satisfied by either python2 or python3. This
mechanism might be useful for dealing with any set of packages that
work with the alternatives system.

Thanks for your consideration,
Doug

Yes, this function already exists in the form of the "provides" line
in setup.hint files, discussed at
https://cygwin.com/packaging-hint-files.html, although I don't believe
the function is widely used.

Per that page: If you think that another package has an incorrect
dependency list, send email to cygwin-apps noting that fact.

Fix to help novice users verify cygwin.com downloads

2021-03-02 Thread Bob


Hey 

I was searching for some articles about verifying files today and I
came across this page: Cygwin FAQ (http://www.cygwin.com/faq.html)
on your site.

I noticed you recommend very thorough verification, using hashes and sigs.

But usually the data file is downloaded much more than the hash or sig
files. Users often don't verify.

Just wanted to give you a heads up that we created a free open source
program that both downloads and verifies in one step. So your users always 
verify.

It's like "Cygwin FAQ", but it's a single command that downloads
and verifies thoroughly:

https://denova.com/open/safeget/developer/ 

Might be worth a mention on your page.

Either way, keep up the awesome work!

Cheers,

Bob

P.S. The best way to make sure downloaders verify files is to give them
one command that downloads and verifies in one step. There's a free open
source solution.

By figuring out what went wrong during setup.
Please respond attaching /var/log/setup.log.full and terminal or

Otherwise just run setup-x86/_64 [-g] to upgrade without wiping
everything to avoid such problems.


The log is attached. I couldn't see any error except for the libgpg-error0 package that 
matches the "error" search term :)

The home directory is created afterwards anyway at the first Cygwin execution, 
if it does not exist. Are you sure it is an installation error? I would rather 
avoid re-installing and fix the issue by creating the conditions and force 
Cygwin to create the home directory.

zip 358KB > 256KB too big I think


All postinstall steps failed because of BLODA or installation path:

Installing under Program\ Files causes issues because of space in path names and

texlive-collection-binextra & python

Ken
can you check the python dependency of binextra ?
https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/texlive-collection-binextra.html

It pulls : python2, python27-pygments, python38-pygments

It seems a bit too much

Hi Marco,

This happens because the pythontex package includes two versions of its scripts, 
one for python2 and one for python3.  So cygport correctly detects the 
dependence on python2 (and python27-pygments).


I could just remove the python2 versions of the scripts.  That's what Debian 
does.
