What depends on less and what man depends on.

No, I'm not getting filosofical here. ;) Hallo all, Sometimes one wants to know what depends on a package or vice versa. To find out, using the local setup.inis, I wrote following script. It uses make to recursively find and display all dependencies in either direction. To find out what needs l

PERL and XML::Parser

Hi I have been having problems installing XML-Parser-2.34.tar.gz, I came across the course of the problem in your mailing archive but it didn't give the solution to the problem. The original error was: cp Parser/Encodings/iso-8859-5.enc blib/lib/XML/Parser/Encodings/iso-8859-5.enc Syntax err

User name with spaces and Cygwin web site suggestion

Hi, I had a Windows XP user account whose name had spaces. The Cygwin web site says that you should change your account's user name to something without spaces and, if Cygwin is already installed, re-run mkpasswd. Even before I installed Cygwin, I changed my user name, but this did not solve the p

Re: ssl on ssmtp

Two general points: (1) Don't e-mail cygwin package maintainers directly; use the mailing list. Some maintainers don't like private e-mail, and it helps to have things in the archive. (2) Read the package README files in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/. On Fri, 3 Dec 2004, Reinhold May wrote: >I've be
