Download errors Cygwin Digest, Vol 23, Issue 55

2022-01-23 Thread James McKelvey
 I keep getting download errors for  python-sip-6.5.0-1. My Cygwin is otherwise 
up to date. I've tried multiple repositories.Today it was mirrors.sonic.net.

This release updates Zstandard to the latest upstream version, which is
a maintenance release with minor performance improvements and bugfixes.


Zstandard, or zstd as short version, is a fast lossless compression
algorithm, targeting real-time compression scenarios at zlib-level and
better compression ratios.

http://www.zstd.net/


Besides a standalone compression tool, development headers and a library
with comprehensive API are available both for Cygwin native applications
and cross-compilation toolchains in the following sub-packages:

libzstd-devel-1.5.2-1
libzstd1-1.5.2-1
mingw64-i686-zstd-1.5.2-1
mingw64-x86_64-zstd-1.5.2-1


Notes
-

This version is compiled with support for GZip, LZ4 and Xz compression
and all libraries are built with MT capability.  Support for legacy
formats from ZStandard versions before 1.0 has been removed.

The openldap package in Cygwin has been updated to the latest upstream
version 2.5.11 (a minor bugfix release).

Notes
=

The 2.5.x version branch changes the library ABI.  Packages linked
against an earlier libldap ABI need to be recompiled to use this new
version.

Upstream has removed the two database backends that worked at least
partially on Cygwin.  Since they don't support Cygwin (and indeed might
drop the Win32 port at some point), the openldap-server package has been
removed.

This is likely tha last 2.5.x release for Cygwin, the next Cygwin
release will likely be 2.6.1.  The release notes linked to below point
to the 2.6.1 version, which was released upstream in parallel.

This is an update to the latest upstream security and bugfix release of
protobuf.

Protocol Buffers (a.k.a., protobuf) are Google's language-neutral,
platform-neutral, extensible mechanism for serializing structured data.


Note


This release is a security release and bumps the ABI versions, packages
that use protobuf should be re-released.

IEEE 128 Support Re: Cygwin Digest, Vol 22, Issue 26

2021-12-14 Thread James McKelvey
 I have an up-to-date Cygwin and the latest snapshot of gcc-11 on Windows 10. 
How do I have to configure to make C++use IEEE-128 for long double? No big 
deal, I'm just curious. I could build gcc-12 (or other) if that helps.

If you have that problem, you have an app in the BLODA.
Are you still running BeyondTrust or another AV?
You need to get Cygwin setup exes using upx bypassed or whitelisted by 
your support or the vendor.

Why would anyone want or need to do that manually: that implies a badly 
written app in the BLODA interfering with decompression, and that hasn't 
had any mentions as a problem for a couple of years!
