[0]: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2022-March/251047.html If you're interested in creating an updated package, either as a one-off or by adopting the package and maintaining it going forward, I'd suggest taking a look at the package maintainer instructions at [1], which should hopefully give you pointers about how to get started with building and packaging things for Cygwin.

win11 32-bit setup suddenly not working
setup-x86.exe on the cygwin site doesn't work (no publisher verification, stops with complaint it can't install on a 32-bit machine). 27 Nov 2022 A version on a machine I set up a week ago's download area still works albeit with a version number mismatch comment on the new machine. I install 32-bit versions so that all the binaries on XP systems also run on win11 systems. rhhar...@mindspring.com rhhar...@att.net (either) -- 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

Right now I'm particularly interested in getting the latest version of terminator. Post with subject e.g. "python terminator upgrade Attn: maintainer" and ask for an upgrade. In general, specific subject lines will get more readers, as those who package, support, or develop with relevant interests may be attracted. Given that the release is over five years old, it is possible that the maintainer no longer uses Cygwin and/or terminator. Looking at the latest release, it looks like at least one Python package psutil would need customized to build on Cygwin with python OS info, and a few may need upgraded, from python2 to 3 and/or GTK 2 to 3, by a Python module developer who understands the Python OS and Gnome interfaces: https://github.com/gnome-terminator/terminator/blob/master/INSTALL.md although from what I can see, it may be less effort to eliminate psutil from terminator than to port psutil to Cygwin: requiring that module seems overkill for a terminal emulator. -- Take care.

How does one discover a ghost path to non-exitent server
I'm sorry my first post here is probably something that was thrashed out here long ago. I'm not finding the answers on goggle, even the hits that were from this newsgroup. I'm sure there has been plenty of pounding over time about not being able to get a sshd server working on win 10 Running latest cygwin on win 10 I go thru the steps that begin with ssh-host-config -y I'm told at the end the server wasn't installed because there already is one. Neither "cygrunsrv -S" nor "net start" know anything about it. In an old post from this groups I found mention of there being a problem where previous attempts to install sshd server may have left the path but not the server. Not really sure what the heck that might mean. Something like a cygwin install of ssh and sshd server scouts around somewhere and finds a path but no server and says OK, good to go. You have the server. It sounds kind of silly on the surface but I guess it is, in fact, a real problem. Cutting to the chase, can anyone tell me what can be done about such a problem? How can one find and erase a path that has no sshd at the end. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding things a bit. -- 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
