Re: problem with lftp 2.6.8-1 postinstall script
I apologize for the trouble this is causing people. I'm looking into this problem now. I didn't test the install with setup. I just ran my postinstall script by hand to test it. I don't know why installing with setup is having this effect. For now I suggest that no one installs the lftp-2.6.8 package. I also ask that this package be removed from the cygwin.com ftp server until I can package a 2.6.8-2 version. Mark Blackburn Andrew Waltman wrote: For me when installing lftp 2.6.8-1 the postinstall script at /etc/postinstall/lftp.sh gets stuck in an infinite loop on lines 23-27 if you have and existing /etc/lftp.conf file. The output gets set to the /var/log/setup.log.full file filling up the disk. I cancelled the install and found that the file was over a 1.5 GB in size! I removed the file, reinstalled the package, killed the sh process of the postinstall script and the rest of the postinstall scripts for the other packages finished successfully. The setup.log.full showed more of the same output from the lftp.sh script, but since the sh process was killed did not fill the disk again. I guess another workaround would be to move the /etc/lftp.conf out of the way before the running the installer and put it back when it is done (unless you want the new version). I don't know if anyone else has run into this, but thought I should send something out to let people know to be on the lookout.

Both the Pros and the Cons are pretty compelling so I think that we should consider allowing this in some cases but only on a case by case basis. I wouldn't mind doing this in this specific case, though. cgf

I just checked the package, and the man directory is still in usr/man instead of usr/share/man, but that is not fatal. I will try to check this out later today, but I only have one Cygwin machine available to me at the moment. As to using "test", there does not appear to be clear precedent for that. [To the list] Should it become policy for all proposed packages to be uploaded under "test" once they have received the required votes, and then just moved to "curr" once they have had all problems resolved and received a "good to go"? Pro: Packages that have a more selective user base (and hence a limited number of people to perform a functionality review) could be "in the system" sooner. Additionally, it may open up the review process to more package maintainers who do not actively follow cygwin-apps, but might notice new Test packages. Con: If a pending package has packaging problems, premature propogation could cause chaos on a wider scale. Currently "Test" seems to imply the functionality is all that is at question, not the packaging itself.

Pending Packages List, 2003-11-07
This is the list of pending packages as of Friday, November 7, 2003. ** PACKAGE PROPOSERS ** Please verify these fields ** Package: The name and version of the package as it will appear in setup. Proposal: Files that will be uploaded to sources.redhat.com unmodified. HOLD-UPS: What you need to finish! What we are waiting for. Maintainers of existing packages are eligible to vote on ITPs and new package proposals. Once a package has been proposed, a cygwin-apps subscriber must review it, and may point out problems or suggest changes. Each package must receive a "good to go" (positive review) and must have all problems addressed before being accepted. Problems can be addressed either by announcing an updated version or explaining why the problem is not an issue. === Pending Packages List === Waiting for review: ploticus sgrep distcc libsmi nfs-server otcl tclcl Waiting for vote[s]: ploticus sgrep libsmi (GAP) With unresolved problems: tcm ploticus sgrep d distcc Package: tcm 2.20-1 Description: Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling (TCM) Proposer: Daniel Boesswetter Proposal: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-01/msg00299.html http://home.in.tum.de/~boesswet/tcm-2.20-1.tar.bz2 http://home.in.tum.de/~boesswet/tcm-2.20-1-src.tar.bz2 http://home.in.tum.de/~boesswet/setup.hint Good to go: Charles Wilson (cygwin-apps-thread.11851) (once problems are addressed) Problems: So, here's the question for the list.
