Update request for duplicity
Duplicity 2.1.5 was released yesterday (https://duplicity.us/stable/CHANGELOG.html), and includes a pull request I posted to fix a bug that caused the box backend to fail (Fix imports in boxbackend.py). It would be great if the cygwin package could be upgraded to version 2.1.5. While I'm a software engineer that has been actively using cygwin for 10 or 15 years, I don't have any experience maintaining cygwin packages. That said, if there is anything I can do to help with upgrading duplicity, I would be happy to do so. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Update request for rdiff-backup
Cygwin currently contains version 1.2.8-6 of rdiff-backup. Based on what I see at https://github.com/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/releases, 1.2.8 is about 11 years old (you'll have to click "Show 7 other tags), although it appears there were no releases for 10 years. There has, however been some recent activity, and version 2.0,0 was released on March 15th. Would it be possible to update cygwin to version 2.0.0 of rdiff-update? Thanks. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Add support for xterm/rxvt style text selection and inserting to mintty? (was Re: Cygwin alongside WSL)
On Thu, 2 Nov 2017 23:38:13 +0100 Thomas Wolff wrote: Thanks for flattering me :) Sounds good after all the people asking for ever more features, silly ones as well as good ones. Actually, after the WSL and Virtual Tabs endeavours, release frequency should become lower now. Speaking of silly feature requests ... The main reason I'm not a fan of mintty (and as a result haven't switched to cygwin64 on my primary Windows machine - because it doesn't include the non-Xwindows version of rxvt) is that it behaves different than xterm/rxvt for copying/pasting text. I spend most of my time in front of linux systems using xterm, rxvt and rxvt-unicode, so I have that way of copying/pasting text built into the "microcode" in my hand. I've found it quite difficult to adjust to mintty. Would it be possible to add an option to mintty to support xterm/rxvt style copying/pasting (what rxvt calls text selection and inserting) as described in the rxvt man page: TEXT SELECTION AND INSERTION The behaviour of text selection and insertion mechanism is similar to xterm(1). Selection: Left click at the beginning of the region, drag to the end of the region and release; Right click to extend the marked region; Left double-click to select a word; Left triple-click to select the entire line. Insertion: Pressing and releasing the Middle mouse button (or Shift-Insert) in an rxvt window causes the current text selection to be inserted as if it had been typed on the keyboard. thanks, Peter -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Re: How do I customize the xwin-xdg-menu menus?

How do I customize the xwin-xdg-menu menus?
I'm trying to figure out how to customize the xwin-xdg-menu menus (the menu that shows up in the taskbar as "X application menu on :0" and be default contains "Internet", "System Tools", and "XDG Menu" menu items. I've looked at http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-latest.html that was referenced in https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-07/msg00100.html, but I'm having a difficult time figuring out to map that spec to cygwin/windows and figure out what files I need to create to customize those menus. Can anyone post some examples of the files (and where they should be located) to customize those menus?

rxvt for cygwin64?
I've been using cygwin's rxvt (without X) for years, and prefer it to mintty both because I use rxvt on all my linux machines and because I've never liked putty. Despite most (but not all) of my Windows machines running 64-but windows7, I've procrastinated on switching to cygwin64, but I recently had to replace my laptop with a new Windows 10 machine, and figured I might as well install cygwin64. Everything went well until I discovered rxvt is not available in 64-bit. I found this thread (https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-09/msg00016.html) from 9/2013 in the archives, but there doesn't seem to have been any resolution. Is there any plan to port rxvt to cygwin64? If not, does anyone have any hints so I can try it myself (I have 35 years of system software development experience, but I never worked on any cygwin software)? thanks, Peter -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
