setup.exe version issues

2007-11-05 Thread Dat Head
if you run setup.exe and it finds a .ini file that doesn't match it asks that you go to http://cygwin.com/setup and download a newer one, however, the version on there is 2.510.2.2 and if you go to main cygwin.com page and get setup.exe it is 2.573.2.2 also has any thought ever been given to renam

1.5.25: rsync --delete and drive_letter: issue

2009-03-02 Thread Dat Head
cygwin rsync 3.0.4-1 --delete defaults to --delete-during but should be --delete-before also, i realize it would be a cygwin specific hack but has anyone entertained making a special case for cygwin rsync where it would recognize drive_letter: (instead of having to use /cygdrive/drive_letter)? all

cygcheck typo in both manpage and --help

2009-03-08 Thread Dat Head
-p option says "requies" instead of "requires" setup.exe and cygcheck are very nice but was wondering if the idea of using yum and rpm was ever tossed around? i guess they would need too much twiddling to work. cygcheck is 1.90.4.1 version -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubsc

df -T shows system,fixed under cygwin

2009-03-08 Thread Dat Head
I'm sure there is a good reason that it doesn't (or can't) display ntfs, or fat32, etc but was wondering what that reason is? is there another tool that could be used for getting that info from cygwin command line? I looked in the FAQ bug couldn't find anything on this topic. -- Unsubscribe info

man slow to bring up manpages

I thought it was maybe because they were gzipped so I ungzipped a few favorites to see if that helped but it didn't, so I did a trace on a man and it seems to spend an awful lot of time in certain spots: CYGWIN_NT-5.1 rootboy2 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 i686 Cygwin 17:59:10 [read_pipe] tr

rsync hanging

rsync keeps hanging on me - never gets off the ground (doesn't print the ("creating file list" message) - strace shows it hangs here: 33 120271067 [main] rsync 3236 cygwin_select: sel.always_ready 0 65 120271132 [main] rsync 3236 start_thread_socket: Handle 0x6D8 32 120271164 [main] rsync

I have a symlink from /usr/local/bin to /3TB-external/bin/CYGWIN to keep architecture independent bin files on an external drive for portability. every time I run cyg setup.exe it removes the symlink and creates an empty /usr/local/bin directory - is it really supposed to do that? are there some c
