[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cpuid 20220224
The following package has been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution: * cpuid 20220224 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 to stay 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 * Added (synth) and (uarch synth) decoding for AMD Rembrandt E1. * Added hypervisor+4/eax (Xen) expanded destination id bit. * Removed bogus 7/1/eax bit 24 "AMX tile support", but the actual bit is in 7/0/edx. * Renamed 6/eax bit to 23 to mention Thread Director. * Widened 6/ecx number of enh hardware feedback classes from bits 8-11 to bits 8-15. * Renamed 7/1/eax bit to 10 to include "fast". * Added 7/1/ebx decoding. * Added 0x14/0/ebx decoding for support for IA32_RTIT_CTL EventEn & DisTNT bits. * Added synth decoding for (0,6),(11,15) Alder Lake, based on MSR_CPUID_table. * Confirmed synth decoding for (0,6),(10,8) Rocket Lake. * Added (synth) steppings based on instlatx64 samples: 1,(0,5),(0,3),2 P24T C0, (0,6),(0,2),2 K75/Pluto/Orion A2, (0,6),(4,6),1 Crystal Well C1, (0,6),(7,14),5 Ice Lake-U/Y D1, (0,6),(9,7),2 Alder Lake-S C0, (0,6),(10,7),1 Rocket Lake B0. * Corrected missing Core name for (0,6),(9,7) Alder Lake-S A0 stepping. * In 0x18 leaves, line up values better. -- 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

As on Cygwin we have still several third packages depending on python2, the usage of alternatives should allow to manage until all are updated to python3 DESCRIPTION Python is a programming language that lets you work quickly and integrate systems more effectively.

As I mentioned, my patch was against Cygwin's findutils 4.9.0-1, and since my Linux systems use a different version of locate, I hadn't tested there (nor did I have time to look at the original 4.9.0 source). I'd been hoping any Cygwin patches wouldn't invalidate it; pity. b) The patch changes the file 'updatedb' which is created at build time instead of the file 'updatedb.sh' which is under version control. Gotcha. c) The description says that there are 10 more or less non-trivial changes in it. A squashed diff of 500 lines on a file with 342 lines makes reviewing and discussing of each topic impossible. Impossible? Since the bulk of the changes are spacing changes to standardize code indentation across the file, I was hoping the separate 'diff -uw' listing would be sufficient to enable easy review and discussion. Would you mind re-sending as separate Git patches? It'll be awhile before I'll have time to get set up to do that, but will do.

Typed characters are mis-ordered when CPU usage is high
Hi, I'm using cygwin runtime 3.3.4-2. When a foreground job is running, and the general CPU usage of the machine is high, characters are mis-ordered. To reproduce, I use this script to produce load: #!/bin/sh for i in $(seq $(nproc)); do while true; do :; done & done wait Run it in the background, then run a long foreground job, and while it is running, type something. Example: $ spin.sh & $ sleep 3 # While it is running, I quickly typed git status $ sigt tatus This reproduces on Windows Terminal and on cmd (Cygwin.bat) Please CC me on replies, as I'm not registered to the mailing list.

At a high level, I can't think of any reason Cygwin's OpenSSH server couldn't be used as part of an HA setup. However, what you need to make it work is going to be very dependent on the specific HA setup you need, the hardware you're running on, the network and infrastructure requirements, and so forth. You're not going to find a simple guide to setting this up, because there are simply too many variables. If you have specific questions, you might be able to get practical help from the open source community, however things like working out what the requirements are, or whether they can be met with any given piece of software, is the sort of thing I would expect to pay for if I couldn't do it in-house.* I also do not think this mailing list is likely to be able to offer much practical support: this list is devoted to Cygwin, and therefore to the specifics of providing Cygwin's Linux-like environment and API on Windows systems. The complicated bits of setting up any HA environment are at best tangential to that aim. I think your starting point will need to be working out what you need for these specific HA services (a) on Windows and (b) using OpenSSH's SFTP server software, and coming back to this list for help only when you have specific questions about running OpenSSH in a Cygwin environment, and which you haven't been able to answer based on the Cygwin FAQ and documentation. HTH Adam * If you *want* to pay someone to help you with this, my day job for the past 13 years has been software engineering for high-reliability telecoms servers, including how to maintain HA SFTP service in that environment. My current rate would be £100 or €120 for an initial 50 minute consultation on this topic. If you'd like to discuss that, that's definitely off-topic for this list and you should contact me directly. -- 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
Cygwin/X newbie here - about xfce4
1. Is there what in some other OS's is known as a "meta-package" for something like xfce4" 2. Alternate version of question above: is there a base xfce4 package whose install will corral in the collection of xfce4 packages needed to get a first approximation to a working desktop up and running? 3. Can the Cygwin packages collection be searched for a single file to find what package provides it? Example: '.xfce4-session'?
