Re: Problem accessing Win98 network drive when logged in via ssh (or cron)

It explains the problems with mapping shares when changing the user account via ssh or whatever: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-setuid-overview In your scenario it might have something to do with the way the shares are shared. The old SMB knew user level shares and, well, share level shares. The latter doesn't require a logon to be accessible. Maybe the 95 shares are shared this way?

It's weird; the Win95 shares appear OK, it's only the Win98 share. As I indicated in another thread, I have avoided the problem by using a different workstation as the proxy. I have a different problem with that one though. All three shares appear OK when I log in using SSH. When I try to run rsync over ssh though, I get errors saying the mount points vanished during the transfer.

'some files vanished' when using rsync over ssh
Hi This is a follow on from the question I asked about accessing SMB filesystems via SSH. The full scenario is that a client is using rsnapshot to back up a load of workstations to a QNAP. The QNAP has rsnapshot installed and most of the Windows targets have cygwin installed. Three very old machines don't have the capability to run cygwin (too little mem and disk space), so I configured another Windows machine to act as a proxy. RSnapshot backs up these machines as extra drives on the proxy, which has them mounted as SMB drives on /mnt When I log in to the proxy using ssh, I can see all three mounted drives. When I run rsync over ssh to the proxy and try to back up the drives I get the error # /opt/bin/rsync -a --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh -o BatchMode=yes login@proxy:/mnt/win98/dir . file has vanished: /mnt rsync warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred (code 24) at main.c(1518) [Receiver=3.0.8] According to the literature, this error indicates something changed during the rsync session, but I can't see what. If I ssh into proxy I can see the drives OK $ mount C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto) //win98/c on /mnt/win98 type vfat (binary,user) //win95/c on /mnt/win95 type vfat (binary,user) //ano/c on /mnt/ano type vfat (binary,user) C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) D: on /cygdrive/d type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) E: on /cygdrive/e type iso9660 (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) I can also rsync them to a local rep whilst logged into the proxy.

Of course, the best way of making sure no problems exist is to test the patched version in the Cygwin environment. I think I read somewhere that you can now have colon's and other such characters in filenames in cygwin, you just have to mount the directory with a special flag and the filenames you see in windows are encoded.

The patch fixes my specific wild card case.
I use tar when I need to do that, in my locally-modified gbs's.
Something like this:
(cd theDocDirInSrcTree; tar cf aSubDir |\
tar -C ${instdir}${prefix}/share/doc/${PKG}-${VER} -xvf -)
repeat as needed, or use a filelist of some kind instead of aSubDir.
Hey, neat. This won't be needed if the filename is a wildcard, but if
it's just a directory name, this could be useful. I'm wondering whether
to require people to explicitly specify wildcards (which will make the
code clearer anyway), or to allow the use of directory names... IOW,
'aSubDir/*' vs. 'aSubDir'... I suppose if the tree at aSubDir is more
than one level deep...
In cyrus-sasl there was two cases I wanted, one where the copying of files
in a wildcard/specified fashion occurred in a way which the resultant
directory structure matched the source and the other where the resultant
directory structure was flattened. The current patch works for wildcards
aiming into a single target directory.

[ITP] cyrus-sasl 2.1.19
As part of my work at Panareef I will be maintaining cyrus-sasl (and a copy of openldap linked against it) internally and would like to contribute the results back to the main cygwin distribution. If accepted into the distribution I would hope that the openldap maintainer would release a new version linked against cyrus-sasl to allow sasl authentication to openldap. SASL stands for simple authentication and security layer and provides a pluggable system for authenticating and securing client/server connections. It needed some help to compile out of the box and didn't produce dlls (and the static libraries were useless, so I updated libtool/autoconf/automake and fixed a few makefile/configure bugs. I have successfully tested the resultant dlls with openldap. category: Utils requires: libsasl2 cygwin sdesc: The Cyrus SASL API implementation. ldesc: The Cyrus SASL library allows for client/server authentication in conformance with RFC . http://www.users.on.net/~gpearce/cyrus-sasl-setup.hint http://www.users.on.net/~gpearce/cyrus-sasl-2.1.19-1.tar.bz2 http://www.users.on.net/~gpearce/cyrus-sasl-2.1.19-1-src.tar.bz2 category: Libs requires: libsasl2 libdb42 openssl cygwin external-source: cyrus-sasl sdesc: The Cyrus SASL API implementation.

I'm certainly willing to make this change, reading the warning at the top of
saslauthd.mdoc left me sceptical as to whether it was a wise course of
action, but I see that man on cygwin handles the file just fine.
What do you think of also including the nice documentation from
{srcdir}/doc under /usr/share/doc/cyrus-sasl-2.1.19 and maybe the
uppercase files from {srcdir}/saslauthd under
/usr/share/doc/cyrus-sasl-2.1.19/saslauthd ?
Sounds like a good idea.

new install - application windows are dead
Hi there, I've been happily using Cygwin/X for a couple of years on 2 or 3 different PC systems primarily as a display server for some Big Iron in our server room. I've recently installed Cygwin/X on my new whizz-bang desktop machine and I'm having a problem. When I run startxwin.sh (or startxwin.bat for that matter) everything appears to come up normally, with the exception of anything in the window itself. For example, the xterm in the default startup script stays as a white window with no prompt or text, and the mouse cursor is 'X' when it is over this window. In this case, the window titlebar changes to '~' which implies that bash has started to run OK (indeed, Windows task manager shows bash.exe exists) but I don't know why it's not painting properly or handling events. As a second example, xlogo again creates a white window with no contents. Again, the mouse cursor is 'X' when I hover on the window. Launching the client program on the remote solaris box with approriate DISPLAY set has the same result; a window appears but it stays empty. Nothing I can get from XWin.log but I've attached it regardless. Hope someone can help!

RE: Built GCC 3.3.3 on Cygwin, should I use it?
I've tried to rebuild a number of programs I have written using GCC 3.3.3 and every single one of them seem to work as they should. Many of them are Win32 GUI programs (written in C++), some are programs using posix functions. So my question is: What problems can I expect if continue to use GCC 3.3.3? Other then dealing with non-standard install locations (probably leading to the c++ issue you had), and probably missing cygwin-specific features there shouldnt be any 'problems'. An example of something likely to be missing is -mno-cygwin. Should I go back to GCC 3.3.1 or is it fine to continue to use the later version? Any other drawbacks of this upgrade? Any benefits? If someone would shed some light on this I would be grateful. Given you have installed in a separate location it is not like you have any problems here, you can use the installed gcc 3.3.1 when you need it - and your own built 3.3.3 when you need that. You havent 'upgraded' as such just installed a newer version as well. But given that you dont know why you've installed it, perhaps you just shouldnt bother with it. 3.3.3 is mostly a bug fix release relative to 3.3.1 - go visit gcc.gnu.org to find out what bug fixes have occurred. Now if you havent experienced the bugs, then there is probably no point for you to have a custom build and you should just wait for whenever the cygwin gcc maintainer updates the cygwin gcc distribution. However if a bit of research finds that 3.3.3 has something you want then by all means, use it - we're not going to stop you. ... Well okay, I'm not going to stop you.

RE: Built GCC 3.3.3 on Cygwin, should I use it?
I am using Cygwin and GCC to become familiar with posix, common unix tools, and to learn c and c++ programming (plus learning win32). So I have never compiled any of my programs with -mno-cygwin, but I noticed that it doesn't work when I use GCC 3.3.3, just as you said it wouldn't (and it won't work if I use any posix functions either, no matter what compiler I use, right?). Basically yes. So by installing a newer version I have not lost anything but the capability of running my programs on other computers running Windows but lacking Cygwin? And the benefit of installing is gaining a number of fixes of bugs that I may or may not encounter (I have looked at the list of fixes, but haven't gone into great detail)? You havent lost that ability at all since 3.3.1 is still there for you to use if you need it, as you aimed for. -mno-cygwin isnt the only 'special cygwin' feature though, you may run into others which are not present in the official gcc release (from memory possibly some gcj issues as most significant). But with 3.3.1 to fall back on you'll be fine. I personally use a pre-release copy of gcc 3.4 because of its improved c++ support, and havent experienced any cygwin-specific problems in my day-to-day use of it under cygwin. I have experienced some bugs, but thats what I get for using a pre-release version.

RE: G++ for CygWin
(gnu separated out its frontend from its backend with v3.3) AFAIR, the only significant difference between gcc.exe and g++.exe is that gcc.exe assumes files are C by default, and hence calls out to the cc1.exe compiler, whereas g++ assumes programs are C++ by default, and so calls out to cc1plus.exe. Oh, and g++ also adds a few directories to the default includes search path, and adds -lstdc++ to the linker line. This is more-or-less the same thing that happens when you use the -x language option: gcc.exe -xc++ files, options amounts to almost the same thing as g++.exe files, options, and similarly g++.exe -xc files, options is almost the same as gcc.exe files, options. I'd like to point out here that if your compiling c++ files, use g++. A common problem is people who are used to being able to use gcc and just add -lstdc++ to the link, which worked successfully back with gcc2. It doesn't always work with gcc3 - hence just use g++, it is simpler and you don't have to worry about the details, now - or in the future. Its also worth noting that gcc doesn't assume files are c by default, gcc makes a guess based on the file extension. But again, the guess mode isn't always the same as using the -x option. (although it probably should be the same, some of the internals don't actually understand the -x options and use file extension guess work exclusively) Gareth -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
RE: doxygen 1.3.5 vs 1.2.18 (?)
Yes I've been dealing with some personal issues which mean I've done ... pretty much nothing lately. No one should feel like they are waiting on me, it'll probably be a little while before I redo my doxygen package. If someone else does it first, that would be great. And while graphviz got the votes, there was never a clear decision on the legal status, and I havent yet done the obvious thing and attempted to follow it up with the graphviz people themselves. FWIW I did manage to get upstream to patch the doxygen textmode bug, I just havent done anything since then.

RE: Why 2 DLL names?
Greetings, Using Cygwin 1.5.5-1, I am porting a Unix shared library to Windows. After making and linking the library with libtool, two DLLs were created: libxx.dll.a cygxx-1.dll I guess I was only expecting: libxx.dll. Why were the 2 names generated and why the cyg prefix on one of them? Also, which one should I use? The first is not a dll - its an import library(I think?) Cyg prefix is chosen to clearly delimit mingw dll's from cygwin dll's - since, for example, zlib comes in both cygwin and mingw versions, and naming them the same would cause conflicts. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

RE: [Review 2 - Good to go] gd: A graphics library for fast image creation
Hmm... just noticed that you have libgd2 and libgd2-devel... I was under the impression that you should stick the DLL version in the libgd package name, which you did, but I thought that the DLL version number was *not* included in the -devel package name. It seems to me that the devel package should be called: libgd-devel Anyone care to comment on this? It would be nice to say that versioned devels are never necessary, but unless the internals of the package are designed so as to be able to coexist with future version devels (like libgd2 would be), there isn't any point versioning them, and hence should not be so.

RE: Setup and downloading software...
I understand this may not be a very high priority as many people are probably using Broadband now, but I know I would appreciate it, and I imagine many others would too. I know this wouldn't really be much of an issue except that I've noticed in my downloads that I average between 1.7 and 2.6 kb/s on my 56k modem, which is about 1/3 of the rate I could theoretically get. (Most of my downloads for other sites are around 4 to 6 kb/sec.) I figure this is because the sites are so busy, and I figure that striping the downloads could help to speed some people up to help alliviate the sites of those users. Just think for a second and realise that if this was the case, then the broadband people would be noticing it a lot more. Striping is much more likely to help broadband users then it is modem users. That said, some mirrors do get overloaded - but 2k/sec would be unusual I suspect. Btw - all of the downloads from setup are precompressed - so ensure your comparing apples with apples when comparing download speeds. Modems use inbuilt compression - so non-compressed files will download faster. 3k-sec is (once you consider overheads) not to far off 30kbit - most 56k modems actually rarely see connections over 42k (to my knowledge anyway) - so your actually more like half rather then 1/3rd. - 'back home' on my 56k modem - 2.6k/sec on a compressed file would be considered fast. But then 'back home' has poor phone lines. - I'm lucky enough to have adsl where I'm living at the moment - and the mirrors I use for setup - are easily fast enough to handle a modem user. Gareth

RE: mixing MSVC++ and gcc C++ libs/dlls ?
Hi! The FAQ tells me that only C object files can be mixed. Is this true for MS .NET and gcc 3.x since I expect both to be conform to the ABI standard ? Gcc 3.0 attempted to conform to the c++ abi - it was wrong - so they fixed lots of things and 3.2 has a different abi. However, it was still wrong, and so 3.4 they are going to fix things and there will be a different abi again. If MS .NET actually manage to get conformance with the c++ abi correct (for some reason I doubt this) - then you may find increased luck mixing c++ object files. However you'd have to do said mixing without mixing std c++ libraries, most likely, since they would probably conflict. Name mangling is part of the c++ abi so that wont be an issue. Therefore I predict in about 2 years time when g++ 3.6 is out and MS .Net version 2 is out - life may have improved in this reguards ;) If it works before then, yay for it.

RE: mixing MSVC++ and gcc C++ libs/dlls ?
I doubt that. If I am not completely wrong, .net uses bytecode (like Java) aka. CIL (Common Intermediary Language). (http://www.msdnaa.net/Resources/Display.aspx?ResID=373 ) I would not know how you can combine cil code with obj. files. If somebody knows more I would love to read about it. It is one of the (many) reasons I don't -and have advised others- to jump on the .net bandwagon. I know for sure that the Javascript (in M$ language Jscript) development part of VS7 can not be used for developing real ecmascript applications Ms visual studio .net is still capable of making native executables/libraries despite its .net branding. It needs to be until Microsoft are finished porting the windows source code to use cygwin. ;) Gareth -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

doxygen Ryunosuke Satoh I just want to point out, that the astyle maintainer also has the ownership of doxygen. The doxygen version does not work correctly on text mounts and Ryunosuke confirmed me this lastly (after some private email conversation 1 year ago), but he neither build a version with corrected open modes nor did he update doxygen to the current version 1.3.x (where x is meanwhile 3). So I suppose that doxygen is abandonned too. Doxygen chatter made me remember something I was interested in maintaining. Graphviz, which is the source of the 'dot' program which doxygen can use to produce some very nice inheritance diagrams. I guess the main issue I wondered about was whether the att 'open source' licence used is compatible with the practicalities and ethos of the setup.exe distribution.

Gareth says in http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-09/msg00179.html
that there's no need to mark them as test, despite the fact that the gcc
he used is still marked as such. Personally, I'd mark at least aspell-dev
as test, seeing as that contains the files that won't work with the
current
gcc, but it's his call (he's the maintainer, after all :)
I hate to do this at this late point (and I *really* hate it when people
do it to me) but I didn't notice the slightly nonstandard practice of
naming the binary 'aspell-bin'. I'd like to change that. Otherwise
we have a base package which only contains source, which is also
unusual. I'd prefer to mv aspell-{bin-,}0.50.3-1.tar.bz2 and
put it at the top level of the aspell directory and move everything else
underneath it.
Gareth, do you have a problem with that?
I have no problem with either of the above 2 points in theory... both the
rename and the marking of aspell-dev as test. (and adding dependency on
aspell-en - from other email)
In practice there is one niggle, the src package generates
aspell-0.50.3-1.tar.bz2 already - but it's the amalgam of all of the other
binary packages. It produces aspell-bin. Fixing this will probably only
take me a couple of minutes (when I get the time say in a couple of days) -
but I don't think that it should be a show stopper for uploading the rest
now.
Renaming the file and changing the hint files are trivial - I'm assuming you
don't need me to upload them again? If you do want me to do them then I'll
do it whenever I see the reply which will be ... after I sleep probably.

An updated version of nano has been released to the cygwin mirrors. Nano is a text editor designed to resemble, but improve upon, the pico text editor . This version has been updated to the latest official stable release 1.2.2 - It mainly contains bug fixes compared to the previously released 1.2.0. Note: This release of nano 1.2.2 has been compiled against cygwin 1.5.3 - therefore you should be using a version no older then that version of cygwin if you want it to work. Other changes include - compiled against libncurses7 - apears it may have fixed the occasional lack of updating on scrolling. - files are now installed according to the Filesystem Heirachy Standard (FHS) (meaning documentation is under /usr/share) To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select Editors and then click on the appropriate field until the above announced version number appears if it is not displayed already. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin at cygwin dot com . I would appreciate it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general. If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.

Re: ctrl-c swallowed
Christopher Faylor wrote: I don't know if this is the officially correct answer or not, but I find that ^C doesn't work right with some programs when run from CMD.EXE unless I have the tty flag added to the CYGWIN environment variable. The users' guide has a section on how to do this, I'm sure. CTRL-C is designed to work correctly with cygwin applications in either tty or notty mode. Please don't spread FUD if you aren't providing details. In pico, without CYGWIN=tty, pressing ^C does nothing. With CYGWIN=tty, it works as it's supposed to (displays the current position.) That's all, just my observation. Yeah! Thats correct! For some reason, if pico (or nano) is runned with CYGWIN=tty, it will make the terminal go crazy when it is terminating. The terminal will not display any output, just consume input. stty sane or reset did not alter that behaviour... I find this behaviour if i set the cygwin=tty variable after having started the bash prompt. Setting it before (ie adding it to the system environment variables) has no problems. ctrl-C and (i think) ctrl-T not working in nano are the only reasons i set cygwin=tty.

Re: Pending package status (20 Jul 2003)
Trying to find out everything thats been happening ... my hotmail clogged up and a whole stack of email didnt get delivered - somewhat of a mess. It even deleted some of my older emails - annoying. - in future i'll not keep any old emails around in hotmail :) I'd rather let Gareth take a look at these first before they're put up as available - he's the maintainer, after all :) i rebuilt from source package - and things look good. (except i forgot to install ncurses first so ... i had the funny buggy letter thing again) So the canonical versions of the Cygwin packages should (IMHO) be considered the versions Gareth provided - at least until he canonicalizes mine. I'd say they look fine. Regards, Gareth

Has this been addressed? I believe what was stated was that it didnt work from within mutt - I personaly had only tested it from the command line. (which is where i personally have used (i|a)spell from in the past) However I've been busy marking (and before that, without a functioning internet connection on my windows pc) - and since I had to format my machine a few weeks back, havent reinstalled my own packages to test the problem described. I am away for the next week skiing - but my internet connection is now all good(wondeful infact) so when I get back I'll give it a go - (or if rlc wants to give it ago first while I'm gone, by all means) - I actually think i tested my package with nano as internal speller - but that might be a figment.

It's looking good, layout wise. But, I can't run aspell as the libaspell package cannot be found (on the server). One other thing you might want to add to the binary package is a spell checker shell script for use in pine or mutt. Linux Aspell does this (/usr/bin/alt_speller.sh?) and you just invoke that script from your MUA. libaspell is under http://www-personal.usyd.edu.au/gpearce/aspell/libaspell/libaspell15-0.50.3-1.tar.bz2 aparently one of us got the directory name wrong at some point. - setup.hint is in the same directory. ofcourse it would of made sense to put it in the other directory - i just didnt... regarding the 'spell checker shell script' idea - I was under the impression 'spell' compatibilty mode was all that is needed. which i think is just aspell -a ... - I think in practice that a ispell/spell script which invokes aspell is an option - and I cant remember at this second whether I included that. I'm pretty sure there was one in the src package. Been a while. Gareth

spell and nano (was reply to cgf about gpl violation)
(crossing to cygwin incase it might inspire someone) use nano; for the same reason the (webpage) nano binary uses PDcurses rather than ncurses so no termcap files are needed.

Assuming all necessary paths exist, Windows executables (fc, for instance; can't find much else that's any use) can be called from within Cygwin; and vice-versa (ls, md5sum, diff; any number of useful others). That's why find, sort, etc can be problematic, if a user ends up calling the alternative version to that required. Lately (can't remember when it started) I've been unable to use nano from outside Cygwin: I get a Error opening terminal: cygwin message. (On the other hand, pico works fine.)

Gareth - nano packaging type guy. Thank you for getting back to me. This is what I meant. When Cygwin is installed (i.e. after running setup, filesystems are mounted, registry entries are made, etc, etc) all the supplied applications (such as nano) operate very nicely in the default bash console window and, it turns out, in a rxvt window. I have experimented with the -tn terminal switch available with rxvt but to be honest have found most settings (e.g. -tn cygwin, -tn rxvt, -tn vt100; or no setting at all) to be completely irelevant: things just work. (Though I remember -tn linux turned out to be a doomed selection.) Well done all the packagers. Also, nano and pico and a few other things work seamlessly, and with no obvious differences, in a Windows DOS box. Especially the command-line stuff like ls, find, md5sum, diff, cmp, ... This is because I have put c:\Cygwin\bin in my Windows PATH (early). This offers a huge and valuable extension to the supplied Windows command structure. (I know http://www.nano-editor.org supply a zipped version of nano claimed to be for Windows but since on un-zipping the provision, it turns out to include cygwin1.dll, I deduce it's the same, ot not much different to, the entity maintained by Gareth. So, since nano works in all possible required environments that I can think of (Cygwin-bash, Cygwin-rxvt, Windows-DOS) I have not bothered with this zipped item.) My reason for writing was to report (very unclearly, I now perceive) the following. Occasionally it suits me to umount -A and also change the name c:\Cygwin to c:\SomethingElse. (Don't ask. I'm interested in sparse systems. Particularly in extending the Windows command structure through simply making available the contents of c:\SomethingElse\bin\, and *without* setting up Cygwin in the mounted registry sense.) It seems to me that as long as c:\SomethingElse\bin is in the Windows PATH, then one still has the luxury of Cygwin's applications. Certainly I find am still able to use ls, find, md5sum, cmp, diff, ..., loads of others, ..., and pico. I am more or less certain that I have successfully used nano in these circumstances. But currently I am getting the error message earlier described: Error opening terminal : cygwin. Fergus P.S. I know. This is saying Thank you for supplying an item intended to be used under prevailing circumstances A. I want to use it under prevailing circumstances B, but I find I can't. Kindly mend it so I can. I really am not saying this, and I hope I have no unreasonable expectations. But I guess what I am saying is: (a) I'm sure I could once, and (b) other not dissimilar things seem to work OK under prevailing circumstances B. Is there any possibility that nano could be looked at, because it is SUCH a useful editor. THANK YOU. Fergus, Any application depending on ncurses or curses will probably use the terminfo database. For that, it'll need access to /usr/share/terminfo, and thus it'll need at least the / mount. Alternatively, some older applications use /etc/termcap (with the same requirement). I doubt there will be any resolution that will allow you to use a full-screen editor without access to terminfo or termcap. I'm not sure why pico works, possibly because it has an internal termcap entry for a dumb terminal and uses that when the terminfo/termcap database cannot be found. This might have been the case with nano as well, but then its (upstream) maintainers must have decided that terminfo/termcap databases are always available, and that it makes sense to eliminate that functionality. If so, it's unlikely it'll be reinstated.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: Nano 1.2.0
Hi, Welcome to another release of the Nano package, the pico clone with many extensions, all while remaining very small indeed. (For those a little lost at this point, its a text editor, reasonably powerful given its size and ease of use) This is the first release of the stable 1.2 branch - and the majority of changes since 1.1.10 are bug fixes. However, new things I noted while packaging it up included: - 3 new translations - a nanorc man file Also worth noting is the colour syntax highlighting is still not gauranteed to make you happy (not many things are!), but the developers are much more confident in it now. I still recommend any issues with this feature be directed first to the nano developer mailing list. Finally, I have no reason to believe that this program will function properly without your cygwin enviroment variable being set to include tty - please consult the cygwin users guide for details on how to do so. If you have issues with Ctrl-C or any other ctrl character combination, this is the place to start - before coming to the cygwin mailing list. Regards, Gareth - cygwin nano packager, hopes you pretend the hotmail tag isn't there... NSTALLATION: To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and update the nano package. You will need to find a mirror which has this update. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In the UK, http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date within 48 hours. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I would appreciate if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.

Re: Mixing / and \ path separators
A quick search for illegal filename characters gives * / : ? \ | (and the null character) for fat32/ntfs - more for fat16/12 - the null character is also out of the question. So what you ask 'just isnt possible' with the underlying filesystem. Gareth -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Just out of curiosity triggered by this thread: How do I create a path or file name like quote ?/quote ? Neither of Unix' ways: quotetouch \\ \?/quote or quotetouch ' ?'/quote nor quotetouch '\\ \?'/quote apparently work.

Re: Mixing / and \ path separators
Cygwin likes paths with backslashes in them. It now just wisely assumes that such paths are windows paths. As I'm sure you know, you don't use '/' to denote a UNIX path. ^ meanness detected.

Re: nano editor : v.1.2.0 released
My holidays end today, I'll look into stoping being slack and try to release asap. 1.1.11/12/pre1/pre2 all had issues - but i havent noticed anything much reported back against 1.2.0 on the nano-devel list - so it should be fine. Gareth Pearce - nano 'maintainer' (for lack of a betterword) - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 6:08 AM Subject: nano editor : v.1.2.0 released For users of the editor nano and the Cygwin-supplied version 1.1.10-1: there is an update to nano version 1.2.0 available at their site http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v1.2/nano-1.2.0.tar.gz that seems to install oob (configure / make / make install) and works well. To the maintainer: is there any possibility, when you have a moment, and if this passes your quality checks, that this update could be incorporated into the Cygwin provision?

Indeed - because if you do do that - you'll have to put up with setup complaining about it everytime you update ... like me. :P Might be nice if setup detected you already had installed cygwin before and didnt popup the warning - since its not like i'm going to change my cygwin install directory now.
