I think they're a result of some mis- understanding I have of UNIX. When I launch my cygwin window from the icon my .bashrc isn't run. Will someone please tell me why not? Also after I 'source' the .bashrc the system still behaves as though my path updates never occurred. I must be missing something here also. Help will be greatly appreciated! man bash -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
cygwin.com suggestions
Here are a couple of suggestions for making the cygwin.com website more helpful. 1) Include the current version number of setup.exe on the front page. Otherwise, there is no way for the infrequent visitor to the website to know if setup.exe has been updated other than to re-download and run it. 2) Include in the FAQ (or somewhere) a section on How to Safely Update the Cygwin dll. Probably just shut down all cygwin apps, including daemons, but it would be useful to know for sure. 3) Include or link those instructions in announcements of new Cygwin dll releases. Do these make sense?
