Debian packages many CPAN modules. (My Etch system shows 1106
lib*-perl packages available.)

The Debian git package depends on liberror-perl.

OpenLDAP Upgrade Request (OpenLDAP 2.3.36)

[Svend Sorensen]

I wanted to check again if OpenLDAP could be updated to the latest
release (OpenLDAP 2.3.36)?  It would also be good if it could be
linked against Berkeley DB 4.1.  (According to the OpenLDAP FAQ,
"Berkeley DB 4.3 is unstable and should not be used." --

OpenLDAP Upgrade Request and Question about BDB Version

[Svend Sorensen]

Could OpenLDAP be upgraded to the latest 2.3 series release (2.3.35)?

Also, according to the OpenLDAP FAQ,

"Berkeley DB 4.2 (latest revision with patches) should be used with
OpenLDAP 2.1 (and later). Berkeley DB 4.3 is unstable and should not
be used. Versions 4.4, 4.5, and 4.6 are known to work with OpenLDAP
2.3 and newer."

http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/44.html

Is it possible to link OpenLDAP against bdb 4.2?

I ask because I have encountered situations where the slapd database
is in a locked state, and db4.3_recover locks when run against it.
After removing the region files (rm __db.*), db4.3_recover runs
successfully.

Thanks,
Svend Sorensen

ls has a recursive flag for ls (-R), but the find command may be more

I use the following bat files to set up the required Cygwin mounts.
The bat files must exist in a directory which contains a Cygwin
installation under cygwin.  For example, the set up could be:

Flash drive as F:
F:\install.bat - Set up user Cygwin mounts, backing up any existing mounts
F:\uninstall.bat - Remove Cygwin mounts and restore previous mounts
F:\run.bat - Run bash
F:\cygwin - Cygwin installation

The bat files do not assume any specific drive letter.

I have the install script set up to mount the directory containing the
scripts as /home/user, then run.bat sets HOME to /home/user.  The
user's Windows TEMP folder is mounted as /tmp, to reduce writes the
flash drive.

I had to rename the .bat files to .txt to get Gmail to accept them as
attachments.

The behavior I see is:
1) start screen in xterm #1 then detach
2) try to reattach in xterm #1 fails
3) reattach with xterm #2 works
4) try to reattach in xterm #1 still fails
or in general, the first terminal that tries to reattach to a running
screen session is forever locked out, but all subsequent terminals
will succeed.


Give Mark Edgar's patch[*] a try.  With it applied, screen behaves
better under Cygwin for me.  Reattaching from the same terminal and
multi-display mode both work.  There are still some problems, however.
Detaches sometimes get hung.  Opening a new terminal and running
'screen -list' will cause the hung detach to complete most of the
time.

Screen seems to behave under Cygwin.  Detaching and reattaching works

It turns out I was running NetBSD's base ksh, which must be a patched pdksh.

I tested the version of pdksh in pkgsrc, and it has no metacharacter
expansion.  The pkgsrc version of pdksh uses that source tarball you
mentioned.

NetBSD must patch their stock pdksh, which would make this a feature
request, not a bug report.

Should NetBSD modify their base KSH_VERSION reporting to show it is patched?

Thanks for your help, Igor.

When I use pdksh to expand the name of a file with spaces or other

On cygwin:

$ echo $KSH_VERSION
@(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2
$ touch 'now & later'
$ ls now # hit [Tab]
$ ls now & later

On NetBSD:

$ echo $KSH_VERSION
@(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2
$ touch 'now & later'
$ ls now # hit [Tab]
$ ls now\ \&\ later

The pdksh version strings are identical.

Here are the batch files I use.  In their current state, they must

"cygwin".

install.bat backs up the current cygwin mount table, then creates a

uninstall.bat removes the new mount table, and restores the backed up copy.

I don't think fixedsys is scaleable.  Try:

rxvt -fn 'Lucida Console-14'# Another good console font

$ cd Whiteboards & Photos/
$ echo $KSH_VERSION
@(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2

On NetBSD:

$ cd Whiteboards\ \&\ Photos/
$ echo $KSH_VERSION
@(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2

Has anyone else noticed this?  I couldn't find anything in the cygwin
list archives about it.

It's 'find -L ./ -print',  From the man page:

SYNOPSIS
   find [-H] [-L] [-P] [path...] [expression]

(-H, -L, -P, goes before the path)
