Dear all,
I have a .zip archive on a different NTFS filesystem than Cygwin64 TMP
folder (say, .zip on I: and TMP on C:). I create a temporary folder
by 'mktemp -d' and then try to unpack .zip archive into that folder :
unzip -d $folder $archive
I no
Cygwin appears to ignore "winsymlinks:native" when asked to create a
symbolic link to a non-existent target, reverting to its "magic header"
approach.
This can be demonstrated via the following examples (using a Cygwin shell):
echo hello > aaa
ln -s aaa bbb
notepad bbb
ln -s xxx yyy

I'm willing to take over as maintainer. I'll send an ITP to cygwin-apps

A new release of bash, 4.1.14-7, has been uploaded and will soon reach a
mirror near you; leaving the previous version at 4.1.13-6.

Using the new version of bash, two scripts that I use have both started giving
me
the following error message(s).

GNU texinfo normally has emacs keybinding.
I found it strange, because C-n navigation key, which normally moves

doesn't work. C-f, C-b, and C-p works as expected to move cursor one

I'm using latest cygwin, from setup-x86

I'll see what I can come up with.

Just out of curiosity, why is this release version -6 instead of -1?

Now that I'm at work, I've done some digging, and here's what I've found...
On my ancient Windows XP box running 32-bit Cygwin, I have a package installed
that provides /usr/sbin/sendmail.exe as a symlink to /usr/sbin/ssmtp.exe, and a
shell secript /usr/bin/mailx.sh that is a front-end for it.

Hi all,
I've dug into the gdb sources.
The problem is in the cygwin-only part and is not about the PATH
variable but about one single DLL file name.
This path length is *fixed* to 512 characters (SO_NAME_MAX_PATH_SIZE)
for the *realpath* of the DLL.
So there's no way for the user to work around t

That hunch proved to be correct, but it is cp and not ls that is affected:
