A cygwin mosh question

2012-10-31 Thread Eliot Moss
After seeing the announcement on mosh, I decided to install it and try it out. I installed it on a remote server running Red Hat style Linux using yum, and on my laptop using cygwin. Sadly, I have run into some problems: 1) The cygwin install does not include the dependency on the IO:Tty

cygport packaging question regading obsoleted packages

Hi Yaakov Is the following the official cygport method to create obsoleted packages ? For example I want to obsolete from the nettle-2.4 package the runtime parts by providing new empty tarballs so that users who will upgrade to nettle-2.5 will get rid of unsued dll's related to nettle-2.4.

Bisected it and found 1.7.7 works and 1.7.8 does not. Nothing in the 1.7.8 change overview seems likely. Also found the source is available. 'NXWin' looks like it fits in the X11 build tree and is a more-or-less typical X application. So the solution, when it becomes important is to recompile

The logs say that NXWin.exe is failing on startup with an exit code of 259 If anyone thinks then can make sense of it, I could run 'procmon64' on NXWin and trace the Windows systems calls in it. Could run any applicable CYGWIN tools as well. -- Problem reports:
