[ANNOUNCEMENT] [1.7] Updated: monotone-0.45-1
Version 0.45-1 of monotone has been uploaded for Cygwin 1.7; please notice that due to missing dependencies monotone will remain at release 0.42-1 for Cygwin 1.5; you have to upgrade if you want to use the new versions. Please read carefully: http://cygwin.com/#beta-test monotone is a free distributed version control system. it provides a simple, single-file transactional version store, with fully disconnected operation and an efficient peer-to-peer synchronization protocol. it understands history-sensitive merging, lightweight branches, integrated code review and 3rd party testing. it uses cryptographic version naming and client-side RSA certificates. it has good internationalization support, has no external dependencies, runs on linux, solaris, OSX, windows, and other unixes, and is licensed under the GNU GPL. You can find information about new features here: http://monotone.ca/NEWS You can find information about upgrading from previous releases here: http://monotone.ca/UPGRADE If you're not sure what version do you have you can use the following command to both check version number and integrity of the install: % cygcheck -c monotone If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin@cygwin.com . *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.

Reading what should not!
Just a curiosity... (I have seen th following on Cygwin-1.7, but perhaps it happens also on 1.5) Suppose that there are two users: the administrator (root) and a simple user (pippo). Suppose that 'pippo' has a file 'foo.txt' with permissions: rw--- Why 'root' can read 'foo.txt'? For example with r...@pc~ $ less /home/pippo/foo.txt On GNU/Linux, the same command (or with 'sudo') asks for pippo's password! (Which looks right to me) Trying to read the same file as 'root', but with Windows applications (Notepad, for example), fails: one gets 'Access denied' (also if foo.txt is copied in the 'root' HOME or /tmp, as pippo's file rw---). Even this looks right to me... Cheers, Angelo. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Cygwin 1.7 message queues - permission denied error still exists
Hi all, I'm fooling around with POSIX IPC under Cygwin 1.7 beta and message queues still seem to be broken per the description in this thread: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-08/msg00539.html That thread says that a fix is in "-29" [1]. I'm not sure what version I have, but I downloaded my Cygwin 1.7 in August and I see that cygwin- dev is discussing 1.7.0-60, so I assume that my Cygwin is sufficiently up to date. Should this bug be fixed, or...? Is there anything I can do to help? Thanks Philip [1] - As a Cygwin n00b, I don't know how to get the cygwin release number. I checked the FAQ, but it says, "If you are looking for the version number for the whole Cygwin release, there is none." I'd be happy to report my release number if someone can clue me in. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Ignoring that and reading problems.html I'm still at a loss as to how to get the exact cygwin version number. Before I sent my first mail I tried to parse the output from cygcheck but it's pretty overwhelming. I also ran 'uname -srv' didn't contain anything that looked like a relevant version number. I also scanned Cygwin-dev to see approximately what version number was current.

It is, but there is no reason to be running an earlier version.
I just modified the test case from the original report:
>>>cut here<<<
#include
#include
#include
#include
main()
{
int flags = O_RDWR | O_NONBLOCK | O_CREAT | O_EXCL;
struct mq_attr attr;
char queue[80];
char *e;
mode_t mode = strtoul("644", &e, 8);
mqd_t mqd;
memset((void *) &attr, 0, sizeof(struct mq_attr));
attr.mq_maxmsg = (long) 10;
attr.mq_msgsize = (long) 24;
strcpy(queue, "/queue0");
mq_unlink(queue);
mqd = mq_open(queue, flags, mode, &attr);
if (mqd < 0)
perror("mq_open 1");
strcpy(queue, "/queue1");
mq_unlink(queue);
mqd = mq_open(queue, flags, mode, &attr); // ALWAYS FAIL HERE WITH "Permission
denied"
if (mqd < 0)
perror("mq_open 2");
}
>>>cut here<<<
It behaves the same on both linux and cygwin.
Make sure that you've read:
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.programming.ipc
And have cygserver running properly.
The cygcheck output mentioned on the problems page is not optional. If
you had provided that in your first message we'd know what version of
cygwin you had installed and if you had cygserver running.

subversion hangs on svn up using 1.6.4 & 1.6.5
I'm not sure how to diagnose this problem, as svn up produces no output and svn admin recover says: svnadmin: Expected repository format '3' or '5'; found format '10' I imagine that the format 10 indicates that the repository is corrupt. Do you have any suggestions for repairing it? There's some possibility that subclipse was what created this working copy, though I was pretty sure I used Cygwin SVN to update it most recently. I tried svn up with Cygwin SVN 1.6.4 and then upgraded to Cygwin SVN 1.6.5, both hang with no output. Then I tried svnadmin recover .svn which gives the message above. If there's not a clear path to repairing my working copy, do you know of any guidance for moving work from a broken working copy to a new checkout so that svn up will merge changes/flag conflicts?

That's expected when a library is missing, you can make sure by running "emacs; echo $?" and getting error 53. More interesting is knowing which library is missing, run "cygcheck emacs".
