[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: VirtualGL-3.0-1
The VirtualGL package contains the VirtualGL Client, an X11 application that receives, decompresses, and displays OpenGL-rendered frames from a remote 3D application that were compressed and sent in real time by the VirtualGL Faker via the VGL Transport protocol. For more information, visit https://VirtualGL.org. Change log is here: https://github.com/VirtualGL/virtualgl/releases/tag/3.0 Note that Cygwin packages for VirtualGL 2.6.5 and 3.0 beta1 were not created, because those releases contained no changes to the VirtualGL Client relative to VirtualGL 2.6.4. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] New: unison2.48+4.04.2, unison2.48+4.08.1 [test]
On 9/8/2020 4:57 PM, Andrew Schulman via Cygwin-announce wrote: [...] You can install any number of these packages side-by-side. Separate packages are needed because in order to synchronize your files, you have to run compatible versions of Unison on the client and server. Two Unison executables are compatible if and only if: (1) They have the same first two numbers of the Unison version. For example, all Unison versions 2.48.* are compatible with each other. But if you try to use version 2.51.x to sync with a server running version 2.48.y, Unison will issue an error message about incompatible versions and quit. AND (2) They were built with compatible versions of the OCaml compiler. This old problem reared its ugly head again for me, but I found a simple solution that I'm passing on in case it's of use to others. My situation is that for years I have been syncing my Cygwin system with a Linux system on which I had built unison 2.48.x with OCaml 4.04.x. This is compatible with Cygwin's unison2.48+4.04.2. But I just added a second Linux system that I want to keep in sync with my other systems, and this one comes with a Unison compatible with Cygwin's unison2.48+4.08.1. It turns out that Unison's upstream maintainer is making Linux binaries available, built with various different versions of OCaml. See, for examples, the Assets listed under v2.51.4 at https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison/releases So if I install unison2.51 on Cygwin and install the appropriate binary in ~/bin on both of the Linux machines that I want to sync with, then everything works. For example, if I see $ unison -version unison version 2.51.4 (ocaml 4.12.0) on Cygwin, then I know that I need to use unison-v2.51.4+ocaml-4.12.0+x86_64.linux.tar.gz on the Linux machines. It's still annoying, but not as bad as it used to be.

You're talking about native Windows symlinks, not Cygwin symlinks. The latter can point to nonexistent objects just as on *NIX. This shouldn't fail unless the user has forced Cygwin to use native Windows symlinks by setting winsymlinks:nativestrict in the CYGWIN environment variable. Kevin, have you done this? If not, do you have any reason to think that alternatives failed to create symlinks? What does 'ls -l /etc/alternatives/mta*' show? On my system I see: $ ls -l /etc/alternatives/mta* lrwxrwxrwx 1 kbrown-admin None 19 2021-11-20 17:04 /etc/alternatives/mta -> /usr/sbin/ssmtp.exe* lrwxrwxrwx 1 kbrown-admin None 19 2021-11-20 17:04 /etc/alternatives/mta-mailq -> /usr/sbin/ssmtp.exe* lrwxrwxrwx 1 kbrown-admin None 19 2021-11-20 17:04 /etc/alternatives/mta-newaliases -> /usr/sbin/ssmtp.exe* lrwxrwxrwx 1 kbrown-admin None 19 2021-11-20 17:04 /etc/alternatives/mta-sendmail -> /usr/sbin/ssmtp.exe* I also have: $ ls -l /usr/sbin/sendmail lrwxrwxrwx 1 kbrown-admin None 21 2021-11-20 17:04 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /etc/alternatives/mta* and $ /usr/sbin/alternatives.exe --display mta mta - status is manual. link currently points to /usr/sbin/ssmtp.exe /usr/sbin/ssmtp.exe - priority 0 slave mta-sendmail: /usr/sbin/ssmtp.exe slave mta-mailq: /usr/sbin/ssmtp.exe slave mta-newaliases: /usr/sbin/ssmtp.exe Current `best' version is /usr/sbin/ssmtp.exe. Do you see something different on your system? Last question: You said in your first post that "ssmtp-config fails silently" and that you isolated this to the alternatives command failing. What do you mean when you say it failed? Since it failed "silently", do you mean that 'echo $?' showed a nonzero error code? Or do you mean that something is not working as expected?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cpuid 20211114
The following package has been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution: * cpuid 2024 The program displays detailed information about the CPU(s) gathered from the CPUID instruction, and also determines the exact model of CPU(s). Whereas /proc/cpuinfo is like an abstract of the features important to Linux in a system, cpuid is a standalone utility which writes a paper expounding on every feature in each CPU's architecture and what it can do, at about the one line per bit level. It is updated and released frequently and appears current with Intel and AMD information and supports other vendors' chips. See the project home page for more information: http://etallen.com/cpuid.html For information about changes since the previous Cygwin release, see below or /usr/share/doc/cpuid/ChangeLog after installation. Changes * Updated (uarch synth) for Bergamo to say "Zen 4c". * Added (synth) decoding for Pentium Gold G5420 (0,6),(9,14),10, based on a sample from Andrey Rahmatullin. Previously, I knew only of variants with stepping 11. * Renamed Golden Cove & derivatives physical properties to use new Intel 7 branding. Likewise for the preliminary Redwood Cove & Granite Rapids and Intel 4. * Added (synth) decoding for AMD Storm Peak, Lucienne A1 stepping, Van Gogh, Mero, Mendocino, Chagall, Badami, Rembrandt, Genoa, Raphael, Phoenix, Bergamo. * Added (synth) decoding for Intel (0,6),(10,8), (0,6),(10,10), (0,6),(10,12), (0,6),(10,13), (0,6),(9,15). * Added Cougar Mountain name to Intel Puma 7. * Added Microsoft hypervisor+3/edx, hypervisor+7/eax, hypervisor+7/ecx, hypervisor+0xa/eax new fields. * Updated (synth) decoding for Alder Lake-S to include Core variants. * Added (synth) and (uarch) decoding for VIA/Centaur CHA (CNS). * Added 7/1/eax AMX tile support, from Linux kernel. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

A simple option would be to use an small auto fixed buffer for most conversions, but use malloc() for %f formats for numbers greater in magnitude than some limit, though it would also need to be adjusted for the precision (ndigits here), since they take extra space. This would avoid using the optional-to-implement VLA feature too.
