RE: Request for a version/ revision/ release number for the whole Cygwin release/ distribution
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David Christensen Sent: Sunday, October 03, 2004 4:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Request for a version/ revision/ release number for the whole Cygwin release/ distribution I don't think there are enough potential volunteer man-hours to make such a thing feasible. I disagree. Assume for a moment that all Cygwin project member development efforts can be put into the following bins: 1. Code development. 2. Design documentation. 3. Test suite development. 4. Test suite documentation. 5. Test suite execution and reporting. 6. User documentation. 7. Packaging for distribution. 8. Infrastructure development. 9. Infrastructure administration. 10. Version control/ configuration management of all of the above. 11. Personnel leadership and project management. It would seem that bin #1 is consuming the majority of the effort. I think that by changing priorities and re-allocating people and resources, it should be possible to create integration tests and a stable distribution. Such would increase Cygwin's acceptance and usage for potentially hundreds of millions of people. Is this not a good thing? It seems to me that as it is a volunteer community, the people in question would need to volunteer to be re-allocated. This does not seem to be happening. :-) -- 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/
X not recognizing keyboard input
If I have directed this e-mail to an incorrect list, please inform me rather than flaming me and I will go and stand in the corner for an hour or so and then re-send to the correct list. I am trying to use cygwin to provide X access to a linux system. On the cygwin system I execute $ xhost + $ xterm -g 100x100+0+0 -bg red -e ssh -l mylogin mylinuxhost I then complete the login and execute $ export DISPLAY=mycygwinhost:0.0 $ kde and, lo and behold, I get a KDE session and can load evolution, konsole, etc. Problem is it seems as though keyboard input is not being received or recognized. Any ideas what I am doing wrong/not doing right? Also, I know from years back that there is a simpler way to do this (used to configure humming bird to not require all the interaction above) but can't remember how, anybody want to refresh my memory?

RE: Backticks hang with dynamic antivirus scanning
You could try replacing all of your `command` syntax with $(command). AFAIK, this was introduced with ksh way way back. The back tick support was kept for compatibility with older bourne shell scripts. But at that time ATT were recommending $() syntax, though they also recommended that root should use /bin/sh not /bin/ksh, go figure. Anyway the replacement should work for scripts that you are developing. If you have a large number of existing scripts maybe something like sed -e s/`.*`/$()/g (this might require a lot of excapes to work, YMMV) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of geneSmith Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2004 10:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Backticks hang with dynamic antivirus scanning Marco Moreno wrote, On 2/20/2004 11:46 PM: I recently upgraded cygwin to the latest version and now I'm having Command's dynamic antivirus protection conflict with Cygwin so that it hangs whenever it encounters backticks in a shell script (e.g. /etc/profile). Configuring the antivirus to ignore c:\cygwin had no effect. If I disable dynamic virus protection, all is well. Has anyone else encountered this? Has anything changed in how backticks are handled that might cause it to conflict with antivirus software? Just trying to get a handle on this to submit a bug report to Command Software.

Problem starting sshd as a service
I installed the entire cygwin package for use by everyone. Then, as Administrator, I run $ cygrunsrv -I sshd --path /usr/sbin/sshd $ cygrun -S sshd this results in a Win32 error 1062 starting a service.
