Re: libffi: upgrade to libffi-3.4.3 proposed (cygport file attached)

This is not totally straightforward, as this hook is part of, and managed by, gitolite. It's not a big issue either way, but having a more informative output in this case might have saved me a bit of time trying to ensure the problem was genuinely on the server and not just that I was doing something daft. Do you have a suggestion as to what else the hook should say?

Something to the effect of "This server does not permit pushing to any branch other than 'master' or 'playground'" would have made it clearer what was going on, at least for me. But as I say, if it's difficult to do, it's not a big deal!
[ITP] minisign 0.10
Hello, I'm interested in becoming a package maintainer for minisign: https://jedisct1.github.io/minisign/ I suspect the mailing list was blocking my original announcement about this so I have put all of the relevant information in the README here: https://github.com/crd477/cygports/blob/main/minisign/README.md Thanks, and take care... -- -Chad

I think both, although the problematic symlinks were created through alternatives. That's pretty baffling. I don't see how any of those commits would change the ownership of files created by setup itself. The only relevant change seems to be in "Defer setting group until after All Users/Just For Me is chosen", I've made nt_sec.resetPrimaryGroup() explicit, but that only happens for non-admin installs... (I'm not sure how these commits could have caused the former, if the latter then reverting 45d8e84e "Drop group change while running postinstall scripts" would be the thing to try...) As I said, I don't understand it either. It seems my installations were all using the primary group for the account that does the install (which does have administrative rights and is separate from my normal user account on most machines). The primary group is either "None" for the build machine that only uses local accounts and is not a member of any domain or "Domain Users" otherwise. The new code uses "Administrators", but that seems to have the side effect of denying "normal" users access to the installation and instead weaves in extra DACL for SYSTEM. As long as there's an option to force it to keep the former behaviour things should be OK, but I haven't really checked if and how this is possible. Unfortunately, there is no such option.

I don't think so. TeX/LaTeX/dblatex can't know what fonts are going to be required to build documentation for other packages.

Those who are not TeXies need a few more hints. gsasl should tell you what fonts are required to build its documentation. Since it apparently doesn't (I haven't checked), you have to go by the error messages. The first error message I see in the log is ! I can't find file `pzdr' followed shortly by ...failed to make pzdr.tfm. Searching Cygwin packages for 'pzdr', you find that pzdr.tfm is in texlive-collection-fontsrecommended. So you add the latter to BUILD_REQUIRES and try again. If there are still error messages about missing fonts, repeat the process. I don't know any other way to do it. Ken

Even more baffling is that I have another installation that are completely fine even with their Group now switched to Administrators. The one syxstem where I've had the problems is a server version and might have some GPO that affect thing that an admin user does. > I don't see how any of those commits would change the ownership of > files created by setup itself. The ownership is still with the user that runs the install script, however the group has changed. > The only relevant change seems to be in "Defer setting group until > after All Users/Just For Me is chosen", I've made > nt_sec.resetPrimaryGroup() explicit, but that only happens for > non-admin installs... I think that setup was essentially treating the install as "for this user only" since it was created and maintained by a script that can't affect that option and the fact it was also in group Adminsitroators didn't actually register until now. The DACL on the server install changed from conferring access to "Everyone" to just the install user and SYSTEM IIRC. It doesn't do that on the (non-domain) build machine at home that runs Win10 Pro.

upload to calm: should curr-2 be vaulted while still in setup.ini?
Hi folks, After upload, noticed in calm deployment log that release current - 2 is being vaulted, but it's still showing in setup.ini.
