I just wrote such a patch.  See the patches-l.  Further discussion of

apache-php problem

2002-09-11 Thread Edmond Gradin

Hi,

I have problems with cygwin apache php.
The htdocs are well accessed.
But when I try:

/var/www/htdocs/test.php


It runs only one time, and then the server is dead.
The test.php page is well displayed until the
"APACHE_INCLUDE" title.
I get this error:

/var/log/apache/error_log

[Tue Sep 10 10:00:44 2002] [notice] Apache/1.3.24
(Cygwin) PHP/4.2.0 configured

pthread (Default: pthread)
[Tue Sep 10 10:01:21 2002] [notice] child pid 653 exit
signal Segmentation fault
 (11)

I just installed cygwin.
I use WinNT 4.0 Server, SP 6a, McAfee NetShield is
enabled.

The apache and mod_php4 packages are from the original
binary distro.
$ cygcheck -c
apache  1.3.24-5
mod_php44.2.0-1

I rebased the dlls:
Administrator@MYHOST /lib/apache/new
$ rebase.exe -d -b 0x6800 -o 0x1
/lib/apache/*.dll /bin/cygbz21.0.dll /
bin/cygcrypto.dll /bin/cygintl-1.dll /bin/pq.dll
/bin/cygxml2-2.dll /bin/cygz.d
ll

I added the folllowing lines :
  [...]
  LoadModule php4_module lib/apache/libphp4.dll
  [...]
  AddModule mod_php4.c
  [...]
  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

to /etc/apache/httpd.conf file.

I run apache from the command line, logged as
Administrator.

Are the cygwin-patches included in the binary distro 
or do I have to rebuid the DLL for cygwin mod_php4? 

Do I need to create a /usr/local/lib/php.ini file ?
Where can I get this file ?
(I tried php.ini-dist from php-4.2.2-Win32.zip I
downloaded from www.php.net, but it is useless, I
always got Segmentation fault error)

Thank you for any help.

a vote for procps...

I just checked out procps that Chris January ported.  At least "top",
"uptime" and "watch" work, so you have my vote for including this in Cygwin.

Astyle review

2002-09-11 Thread Lapo Luchini

I can see only minor ploblems:
- setup.hint: I always seen people suggest to put new packages that can 
do no real damane directly in current, and not test branch. but again 
this could be better this way.
- binary package:
  - docs are installed in /usr/doc/astyle_1.15.3/ instead of the more 
usual /usr/doc/astyle-1.15.3/, ditto for the 
usr/doc/Cygwin/astyle_1.15.3..README file. this is a very *little* bug, 
I guess we can live with it (I'll mark it a "non-stopping 
marked-for-the-next-release bug")
  - executable works (no big testing done)
- source package
  - it extracts in the directory astyle_1.15.3, instead of astyle-1.15.3
  - patch: last line contains an unuseful "Binary files .. and ... differ"
  - patch: compares files in /home/rsato/software/astyle/astyle_1.15.3/ 
with files in astyle_1.15.3/ (patch asks for file to change)
  - README: doesn't say how to remove patch from archive and if it is 
already applied (it seems to be already applied, BTW)

Keep in my that this is my first "complete review", be gente 0=)

First of all, just to point out, this is a bug/issue with the /proc
fhandler, not a problem with the procps package.

I took a look at this and, yes, the SIZE value doesn't tally with the VM
Size value in Task Manager. The SIZE value you see in top is actually
derived from the VirtualSize member of the VM_COUNTERS structure
returned by NtQueryInformationProcess (..., ProcessVmCounters, ...). The
VM Size value in Task Manager would appear to come from elsewhere.

According to the top manpage, the SIZE value is "The size of the task's
code  plus  data  plus  stack space". So the present value is clearly
not correct, the problem is finding out where to read the correct value
from.

I don't think it's that big a deal.  Just have a look on
http://cygwin.com/setup.html.  This page contains the guidelines to
create a package.  Now *just* turn around and look from the evaluators
side.  So, if you think the package follows the guidelines and, that's
obviously even better, you also tried the package and it works fine,
then your voice is as good as anybody elses voice.

And, if you find a useful package, who knows?  Perhaps you are willing
to become Cygwin package maintainer, too...

Well since RedHat already has bugzilla server setup, I think 
this is an excellent idea!!!  In addition to the voting 
deal, we could finally have a centralized source for 
bug-reporting that queries reporterss for relevant 
information.  I think it would also be quite useful to keep 
track of pending patches so they don't slip between the cracks.

What about non-maintainers?  I'd be perfectly happy to try out packages
(I've used doxygen before, and ELFIO just looks neat.)  I've not done
so in the past because I didn't think that my vote would be considered,

Since already on cygwin-apps (assumed to be the most "active" part of
the community) only a few people actually care, how do you think that
will work on cygwin?  99.999% of the people will not even get that
there is some sort of voting scheme.  They will tell you that the new
foobaz package doesn't work on their B20, though...

One more thing - this time it is not a package issue.

According to 'astyle --help' the program searches for .astylerc in three 
places:

1) environment
2) $HOME/.astylerc
3) $HOMEPATH/.astylerc

Imo 3 is wrong - it should be ${HOMEDRIVE}${HOMEPATH}/.astylerc and the 
path should be converted. I don't know if 3 will ever happen on Cygwin 
having in mind that HOME is set automagically, but... :)

I did a review of the package itself, not of its feature. astyle contains 
a lot of options and since I haven't used it in the past its not easy to 
tell if specific options behaves as expected.

Ok, here is what I've found:

  1) the names of the source and binary packages, the doc directory and
 the source directories are not correct:

   astyle_1.15.3-src.tar.bz2 => astyle-1.15.3-1-src.tar.bz2

   astyle_1.15.3.tar.bz2 => astyle-1.15.3-1.tar.bz2

   /usr/doc/astyle_1.15.3 => /usr/doc/astyle-1.15.3

   /usr/doc/Cygwin/astyle_1.15.3.README => /usr/doc/Cygwin/astyle-1.15.3.README

   /usr/src/astyle_1.15.3 => /usr/src/astyle-1.15.3-1

   CYGWIN-PATCHES/astyle_1.15.3.README CYGWIN-PATCHES/astyle-1.15.3.README
   CYGWIN-PATCHES/astyle_1.15.3.patch CYGWIN-PATCHES/astyle-1.15.3-1.patch

When fixing this the maintainer should also change the build receipt 
in /usr/doc/Cygwin/astyle-1.15.3.README.


  2) the source package includes astyle.exe

  3) setup.hint contains a test entry (test: 1.2.17), but i don't recall 
 having this package as test in the Cygwin net distro, or am I wrong ?
 

  4) the source package contains the patch in CYGWIN-PATCHES instead of 
 the root of the archive.

  5) The patch was generated with CYGWIN-PATCHES containing the patch.

This is one of the reasons I think that it might be better to:

1) Maintainers only approve the setup.hint file.
2) Upload the new package as test or new and let the Cygwin community as
a whole have a say in the package configuration.
   a) Use cygwin.com for voting for the package with comments area and
the form is mailed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   b) The package maintainer has two weeks to work the issues discussed

   c) If the issues aren't fixed the package is pulled.
3) Once x count votes of approval the setup.hint can be adjusted to
remove the test/new classification.
   a) base x on some percentage of the cygwin community population
count.
   b) or base x on some flat number.

Haven't had a chance to check it out.

I'd like to echo Corinna's point in that the apathy for new 
packages is disgraceful.  If someone has taken the time to 
put a package together, the least you can do is check it 
out.  Even if you don't, then just say so, but IMHO, silent 
vetos are unacceptable.

  *some*.  If you're interested in a package, you're probably also

  and that it doesn't destroy your installation or some such, isn't it?

So that's no. 3.  However, a questin is still if we really want to
include it right now.  AFAI understood it, the /proc implementation
is (just slightly) buggy in that it contains a wrong uid in 
/proc/PID/status.  As a result, procps prints the wrong user name
as owner of the process.  This raises two questions:

- Is a patch to /proc in sight?
- Shouldn't we wait until that patch is in and the next Cygwin version
  has been released?

Ok, so the state is now:

procps  (reviewed, 3 votes, John, Robert and me, discussion needed)
doxygen (reviewed, 1 vote, Robert)
astyle  (NOT reviewed, 1 vote, Gareth)

Abuot ELFIO and astyle I know not what they are... let's try a little 
Google...

astyle: I used the version in jEdit and it's really useful ineed, that's 
a pro vote from me.
ELFIO: I don't think I really understand its usefulness in a cygwin 
environment... the website is a little scarce in informations, too..

Insanely busy at the moment. I try to keep up to date, and comment where
I have an opinion

I think that the two steps are very distinct. Obviously more review is
good, but requiring review is not good IMO.

Looks neat. Yes.

This is quite a popular documentation system. I don't use it myself, but
I know folk who do. Also, libxml and libxslt are documented via it, and
they are in the distro. Yes.

I'm still looking for a good C++ prettier. I'll try to check this out in
the next week or so.

Ok, that's no. 2 and other packages are still missing the pro votes.
I could step in and be no. 3 but...


...where are all the subscribers of this list?  How should we ever
get enough positive votes for a package if nobody cares?  I always
see the same names if it comes to vote for a package and I see
always the same (less) names if it comes to reviewing a package.

The Cygwin net distro isn't sort of a one man show, it's a community
effort.  It's not Chris and me who are the responsible people for
reviewing a package and we are not the only people with the right 
to upload packages.

Please note, *all* maintainers are welcome to give his/her voice for
a new package.

And by all means I think a positive vote should be combined with at
least *some* reviewing of a package.

I failed to check this in the past sometimes but I will not upload
a package with less than three positive votes in future.


Outstanding packages:

procps  (reviewed, 2 votes, John and me)
ELFIO   (reviewed, 2 votes, Joshua and Nicholas)
doxygen (reviewed, 0 votes)
astyle  (NOT reviewed, 1 vote, Gareth)
