I'm well aware of the fact that the change takes time even in my own professional job there are still certificates that carry the 512 bit cert data. That doesn't mean the business is not trying to upgrade but due to the sheer mass of computers running the business there are a few with OLD, OUT-OF-DATE hardware and OS. However where the business is outward facing the whole process has been updated without delay.

downgrade to cygwin-1.5.24-2
Hi. I'm facing some problems with Cygwin 1.5.25.11 under Windows Vista, the most annonying is puttycyg not working anymore.. So I realized that I need to downgrade to the last version supported by puttycyg (http://web.gccaz.edu/~medgar/puttycyg/) The thing is. No previous versions of cygwin are available for install. So how can I downgrade my current (and latest) Cygwin version to the earlier 1.5.24-2 ? Best regards!

Have you reported the problem to the list (see http://cygwin.com/problems.html)? Doing so could make your need for an old, unsupported version of the DLL moot. The thing is. No previous versions of cygwin are available for install. So how can I downgrade my current (and latest) Cygwin version to the earlier 1.5.24-2 ? Current mirrors should have this. Your local download directory might have it too. If it does, just tell 'setup.exe' to install from your local directory and 1.5.24-2 will show up as an option. If you don't have it in your local download directory, use 'wget' or your other favorite tool to download it from a mirror and put it in your local download directory. There's also the Cygwin Time Machine (google it). Note that neither process for installing old DLLs is recommended and the older versions are not supported by this list. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

problems starting X, downgrade finally helped
FWIW, I also ran into the problem with the X server not being able to load the fixed font. After trying all the umounts, mounts and reinstalls that were suggested, I finally gave up and downgraded the xorg-x11 packages, including base, bin and all the fonts, from 6.8.99.901-1 to 6.8.1 or 6.8.2. After that downgrade, startx immediately worked again without any problem. Anyway, I'll try to stay with that version for the time being.

Re: Downgrade
At 12:25 PM 6/14/2005, you wrote: ?? All I'm asking is where can I get an earlier version of cygwin An earlier version (1) is available via 'setup.exe'. This is generally true for all Cygwin packages. I doubt you'll find a version of Cygwin package from December by downgrading via 'setup.exe' using traditional mirrors though. Doing a downgrade is discouraged as a long-term solution since problems not reported and fixed will likely stay unfixed, leaving you stuck with some aging and obsolete version of Cygwin. If you feel this is the direction you would prefer to go anyway, I suggest you google the list for the Cygwin Time Machine. Make sure you read carefully the homepage for this before using it however.

downgrade a 5-button- to a 3-button-mouse
We are running a propietary application on a tablet pc (windows XP Tablet-PC-Edition).. Most everything works, but there is a small glitch: For handling reasons some (function-)keys are combined into a small panel. Clicking the keys with the pen has no effect. Entering these keys with the virtual keyboard or a real attached keyboard works. From the support-line: This application DGK5 supports the configuration of a 3-button-mouse only. In Cygwin is a 5-button-mouse configured. You have to configure the Cygwin-X-server in such a way, that a 3-button-mouse is recognized. HOW? A Xfree-conf-file isn't used in Cygwin (AFAIK). -emulate3buttons has no effect, as it works the other way up (3 buttons on a 2-button-mouse). Any hints? Yours hjb

If I call the installer now I will not show me expired version any more in the Exp view. Is there a trick to get the desired behavior back? Thanks Robert. -- 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/

setup should probably *never* suggest either going backwards or uninstalling. Never say never? Suppose a showstopper bug is found in a released package - say one which could result in filestore or configuration corruption. The quickest solution would be to revert to the previous version, and to make this painless (and avoid traffic here) having the downgrade done automatically by setup would be nice. A flag in setup.ini to indicate that a package version has been withdrawn would do - something like withdrawn : version. Of course the correct solution would be to rebuild the previous working version with a higher number, or even better, to fix the bug, but sometimes time is of the essence. -- Cliff -- 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/

That's the point of the 'test' marking. And that's why currently curr overrides test even if test is a higher version number.

That's the point of the 'test' marking. And that's why currently curr overrides test even if test is a higher version number. I see - so a current version can be 'pulled' by moving it to test. And setup.exe always by default downgrades all test packages to current, unless 'Exp' is selected, when it by default upgrades all current packages to test. Ok, but this seems a little clumsy - it would be nicer if the selection of packages explicitly downloaded as test in the past could be remembered so it's not necessary to reselect them individually (or risk running all test versions, including 'pulled' ones). And if setup were extended to do this, it would have to work on the basis of which ones were installed using the setup.ini test section - not by seeing if the previously installed version was now in the test category. As I wasn't sure I understood how setup currently deals with test, I just tried it with autoconf-devel. This showed up what seems to be a bug. I didn't have the test version of autoconf-devel in my local install directory, but didn't realise this, so I ran 'install from local directory'. The Exp/partial view showed the test version of autoconf-devel. I returned to 'Curr', explicitly picked the test version of autoconf-devel, and started the install. But this failed - it uninstalled the old autoconf-devel, then couldn't find the new one. setup.log.full attached. This seems wrong - it shouldn't be offering to install a package which isn't present locally. Maybe something like this is what is happening to people who have reported that they needed to run setup several times to get everything installed right, and found some of the base packages were initially missing? [Though that's never happened to me.] Next I ran 'download from internet'. Because the previous install managed to uninstall autoconf-devel, it was now shown in the 'skip' state, even after I clicked on 'Exp', and I had to explicitly choose to download the test version. [It didn't even tell me I already have the current version of autoconf-devel available.] [I've already mentioned I'm not happy with the current download mode - I think it loses a lot of its potential power, and is also confusing, by being intertwined with the current install state. Indeed, I see little value in separating the download and install as currently implemented. Seeing no comment after my earlier mail, do I assume I'm either doing something wrong, or nobody else finds this a problem?] I hope you find these comments constructive. I do feel setup.exe is a great tool, though it still has a few rough edges.

-Original Message- From: Cliff Hones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, April 07, 2002 12:07 AM Thanks for the feedback.. I'll have a look in the logs tomorrow. [I've already mentioned I'm not happy with the current download mode - I think it loses a lot of its potential power, and is also confusing, by being intertwined with the current install state. And yet, I can see a lot of annoyed folk if setup in download mode tried to download *everything* not present by default. It's easy enough to tell setup to download everything regardless of local state - click all categorie's action symbol to redownload, and you are done. Does that address your concern? Anyway, I may misunderstand what you meant, so feel free to elaborate or patch. Indeed, I see little value in separating the download and install as currently implemented. Seeing no comment after my earlier mail, do I assume I'm either doing something wrong, or nobody else finds this a problem?] Simply use the 'install from internet' mode. It downloads and installs in one foul swoop. I hope you find these comments constructive. I do feel setup.exe is a great tool, though it still has a few rough edges. Thank you, and agreed.

Sorry, I was taking as read that if we made the three things into three effectively different distributions that setup would remember the last choice of prev/curr/test. setup should probably *never* suggest either going backwards or uninstalling. I think it should suggest uninstalling when a requirement is uninstalled - but in a very visible fashion. As for going backwards, I haven't thought that completely through yet. Rob
