Hi folks,
I have the problem that the native windows version of unison (2.9.1) on Windows XP SP2 together with cygwin (starting from DLL version 1.5.11) unison hangs after me entering the ssh password.
This didn't happen with version 1.5.10 of the cygwin dll but this version cannot be installed with the cygwin installer, so I have to deal with the new version.
I think that this unison problem is somehow related to the "pipe code problem" which was discussed on this mailing list in the first half of October, but I didn't see any results/solutions on this problem, too. The last message I found on this topic in the archive said something like 'we are looking for a solution...'.
Now I was wondering if there was any progress in the meantime or if there are plans to develop a fix in the near future. Otherwise I would have to find a solution for unison without the cygwin ssh client.
Thanks in advance,
Your mileage should be greater if you use the cygwin build of unison, available through setup.exe.
I've had much less problems after I switched.
Cheers, Rob
Dirk
