2010/9/13 Al wanted stability stories:
I run Cygwin on a double core machine with Vista. I estimate that 1 of
20 of my compilations break and need to be repeated. One weak point is
the compression of man pages.
I routinely run my perl compiler smokes on cygwin and linux machines.
This involves
What are the reasons? Will this be better with Windows 7? Can Cygwin
become server stable?
Windows 7 was not better for me. More system DLL's and footprint, much
more rebase problems.
Sometimes I can only stop MSIE and MS Outlook to continue to work in
my mintty shells.
:-( I always
You'll need to be more specific about the issues you're encountering
and your configuration. See http://cygwin.com/problems.html.
The majority of instabilities I observerved while compressing manpages
with bzip2 -9, a minority during execessiv link operations. Some
others I can't relate to

Others report that they don't use Cygwin because of instablilities,
especially in the server context.

Sure it is related, but that doesn't answer my question.
Who would keep counters of stable or instable setups? These number are
exceptionally hard to come by. Even if this list is now flooded with my
setup works and mine

No that is not the way to go. I think there are people which run
Cygwin on more than 1 machine, so they have a personal estimation and
experience.
Yes, and this is where the Cygwin archives come in handy. If there are
users running Cygwin on

You seem to be approaching this problem as if people will say Ah!
Stability issues! Right. Well, ok, here's what you need to know.
It's not me thinking in the bug - solution pattern here. I don't ask
for a solution.

I've also been having instabilities in my server context (Windows

Well, I know of one, but haven't had time to fix it yet,

It depends on what is meant by become. If it means will there be a
concerted
effort to harden Cygwin for a server then the answer is likely not unless
someone pays for it.
That points back to paying Red Hat for support.
