chere (v1.1) doesn't work anymore for me after the recent upgrade of
MinTTY to 0.3.7.
I tried to reinstall chere with the command below, but that didn't help.
chere -i -s bash -t mintty
When I switch back to rxvt, chere does work again.
chere -i -s bash -t rxvt

Just to confirm that the original problem is so

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Hi,
Today I noticed a directory /netrel on my Cygwin root directory. It
appears to texinfo-4.13-2 related, so I assume it a leftover of the
recent upgrade, but does it need to stay there?

Hi,
We run into a problem when we run rsync 3.0.4 as a service. We have
had 2.x running as a service for at least half a year without any
problem, using cygrunsrv. But since the upgrade to 3.x when the server
is rebooted the service doesn't start anymore. It turns out that the

I have tried my own build 3.1.1 last night and it fails with the same
errors. I will investigate this.

Hi,
On my Win81 machine I tried to edit /etc/hosts with vim. When I try to
write the file I get this error:
"/etc/hosts" E166: Can't open linked file for writing
Since /etc/hosts is a symlink to
/cygdrive/c/windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts so I tried to edit the
file with the full path but that

I think I have to disagree with you. When mixing MSYS, msysGit and
Cygwin in the same home directory the dot-files can become a problem.
Especially when it comes to line

Hi Jari,
It looks like rsync is still broken. When you released 3.1.0 it had an
upstream bug that made it extremely slow on cygwin. Other then that it
also had another problem that I reported here:

Yaakov made 3.1.0 test and we all automatica
