Hi Ken, Corinna
Sorry for the delay in responding. I have just tested the fix and it works
great. Thank you very much for looking into it.
When do you think it would be available in a form that regular users would be
able to update/install?
Corinna decides when to make a new Cygwin release. My best guess is "pretty
soon".
Also, one observation FYI, is that the "ls -l" command on Unix normally
indicates sockets with an "s" as the first character of the output: eg
srwxr-xr-x 1 Michael None 0 Feb 7 11:19 foo.sock
Currently, what is shown on Cygwin is
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Michael None 0 Feb 7 11:19 foo.sock
indicating a regular file.
Right. From Cygwin's point of view, it is a regular file. There might come a
time when Cygwin's AF_UNIX implementation makes use of native Windows AF_UNIX
sockets on systems that support them. But that time is not currently in sight.
