Re: Portable Cygwin: replacing drivename in a text file

I can't get the syntax quite right. Can anybody help, please? Thank you very much. Thanks very much indeed for various suggestions, much appreciated. I guess by yakking on about drivename I moved the focus of my question to its practical application and thereby managed to blur things. My real

Hi Fergus, The problem is $HOME contains '/' character used as delimited in regex. You need to escape it first: HOME_ESCAPED=`echo $HOME | sed 's#/#/#g'` echo 123 | sed s/2/$HOME_ESCAPED/g It is not cygwin-specific. Cheers, Alex www.gremwell.com On 11/25/2010 02:15 PM, Fergus wrote: I

you can use a different separator in the sed command. You can use the following line echo 123 | sed s%2%${HOME}%g Right, this will work in most cases. But will fail if $HOME happens to contains % sign. The version I have suggested in the previous post is more robust. Best regards, Alex

[PATCH] rsync without --perms may set bogus permissions

2010-11-25 Thread Christian Franke
Rsync may set bogus permissions if --perms is not specified and ACLs are enabled. This happens if the destination directory was not created by Cygwin itself. Testcase: $ cygcheck -f /bin/cygwin1.dll cygwin-1.7.7-1 $ cygcheck -f /bin/rsync.exe rsync-3.0.7-1 $ umask 0022 $ cmd /c 'mkdir

Changing mirrors in setup doesn't propagate forward

2010-11-25 Thread Ryan Johnson
Hi all, I just ran into a minor annoyance while trying to run setup.exe (downloaded from cygwin.com just a few minutes ago): I accidentally selected a mirror on the wrong side of the ocean, so I hit 'back' and chose a different, much closer one. The package list was pulled from the local
