Re: [PATCH] pei386: make --enable-auto-import default

When info-pei386_auto_import = -1 (default) then we continue to issue a
message when auto-importing a variable.  If info-pei386_auto_import =
1, then we suppress those informational messages -- the user obviously
knows that she is auto-importing variables, since she explicitly
--enabled them.

 
 That means, adding --enable-auto-import to the command will only suppress the
 warning, isnt' it ?


Correct.

Current official binutils behavior:
   --disable-auto-import is the default.
   --enable-auto-import turns on the feature, but will print warnings 
whenever the feature is used.

Current cygwin bintuils behavior:
   --enable-auto-import is the default, so the feature is usually 
active.  However, it prints warnings whenever the feature is used.
   --disable-auto-import...turns of the feature

With my patch:
   default behavior: ALMOST the same as current cygwin binutils 
behavior.  auto-import feature is active, but an informational message 
(NOT a warning) is printed whenever the feature is used.
   --enable-auto-import: don't print the informational message/warning.
   --disable-auto-import: turn the feature off...

RE: Setup 2.218.2.9 fails to read setup.ini file from prc-tools mirror

[Carl Sorensen]

In order to make this work, I had to modify the file c:\cygwin\etc\setup\last-mirror 
and remove the final '/'.  Then it worked fine for me.

Thanks all for the help.

 Hmm, strange. I just tried this myself, and got the same result (I used
 direct connection, rather than IE settings).
 
 Yet, wget gets the file fine.
 
 Hmm, ah yes. DON'T put the last '/' in.
 
 Works fine for me now.

  Rob,
  
  I entered the trailing / when I added the custom URL.  
  However, when the 
  error window popped up, it did not have the trailing /.
  
  More information:  When running Setup.exe 2.218.2.9, if I 
  select the option 
  Use IE5 Settings, I get the Unable to get setup.ini 
  message, rather 
  than the Parse error message.

 One thing Carl could try is to use the latest setup snapshot on
 http://cygwin.com/setup-snapshots/.
 The latest one right now is setup-2.249.exe.
 See if the problem is still there on XP with that version.

   
I followed this advice
   
The result:
   
An error window titled Cygwin Setup gives the message
Unable to get setup.ini from
http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/install;.
   
I pointed my
browser at http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/install/setup.ini
and successfully downloaded a copy of the setup.ini file.
   
Two questions:
(1) is there a way to make setup.exe use the setup.ini from
my drive, rather than getting a copy from the prc-tools site?
   
(2) Is there something different about the way setup
processes http:// mirror sites instead of ftp:// mirror sites?

attached is a patch to make possible to use mknetrel on host different

there's no real need for default initializations in read_user_config()
Comments?

I've checked in a variation of this patch.

Thanks.
