Renaming a socket file adds ".lnk" to the name

The attached test case creates a socket file /tmp/mysocket and tries to rename it to /tmp/newsocket. But the new name is actually /tmp/newsocket.lnk: $ gcc -o rename_socket rename_socket.c $ ./rename_socket.exe $ ls -F /tmp/newsocket* /tmp/newsocket.lnk= I think I have a simple fix, which I'l

Is the Mercurial package still maintained?

2019-07-18 Thread Ti Strga
Hi. Upstream is at v5.0.2. The cygwin repo has been at 4.3.2 for almost two years now, missing not only a lot of features but also the security fixes in 4.7.2 and 4.9. Is a new package blocked waiting on other support to be completed? Or is it simply orphaned and waiting for a new maintainer or

I have one real (c:) and three virtual (d:, e:, f:) partitions on my Windows 10 box The virtual partitions are created at login by Windows tasks using the 'subst' command. With an empty /etc/fstab, at first this all appears to work fine: > mount C:/C64/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)

Wild card to address drives

2019-07-18 Thread Fergus Daly
I have none / cygdrive binary 0 0 as the only line in the file /etc/fstab to allow for example $ ls /h/config.sys instead of the long-hand $ ls /cygdrive/h/config.sys In Linux I can type something like ls /?/ -Ax as a wild card to address ALL drives, but this does not work in Cygwin. Is there a w
