I recently picked up the MozillaBuild environment for Windows, based on MSYS. Unfortunately, I find the version of CVS to have a couple bugs in it which are ruining the experience - bugs which were fixed a long time ago in CVS. Specifically, the : pserver:username:password@domain bug (fixed in CVS version 1.11.1) and the broken pipe signal bug (fixed in CVS version 1.11.13 ). http://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/cvs/source/stable/1.11.22/NEWS.1.11.22 MSYS is apparently providing CVS version 1.11. Help! -- "The first step in confirming there is a bug in someone else's work is confirming there are no bugs in your own." -- Alexander J. Vincent, June 30, 2001 |

Am I correct if I state the current sources are not in CVS but rather to be found in the msysDTK-1.0.1-src.tar.bz2 file? |

Can you confirm that by `MSYS build environment', you do mean using the msysDVLPR tools, and not just the regular MinGW tools, hosted under MSYS? > Mozilla is interested in having new production releases of MSYS and > MSYSDTK. Now that Earnie is unavailable, is there a process that we > can use to think about creating and shipping these? I think there a a number of people who would like to see this happen, but few who actually appear willing to *make* it happen. From private correspondence with Earnie, I get the impression that, while he has put quite a considerable personal effort into maintaining MSYS, he has been rather disappointed by the response, when he has asked for volunteers to assist in that effort; (yes, I know there have been a few other contributors, to whom we are grateful, but the lion's share of the work has been undertaken by Earnie himself). I would take on some of the work myself, if I could first succeed in creating a cross-hosted MSYS development on my GNU/Linux box, since I do not have a Win32 box I can use. So basically, to allow MSYS development to continue, now that Earnie has been forced to take a break from it, we need VOLUNTEERS who can set up an MSYS development host, and contribute to the development process. If you think you might be able to help, then please follow the guidelines here: http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/JoinTheDevelopersList to get the ball rolling. (If you already are a MinGW Developer, but need additional committal rights, please use the MinGW-DVLPR list to discuss your requirements). Regards, Keith. |

I'll repackage it, without the `info/dir' file -- it is always wrong to include this in a binary package, IMO -- and post it as a snapshot; hopefully, I'll get a round tuit this weekend. To comply with the GPL, I'll also need to post source. Since you've used unmodified GNU source, I guess I can just grab a copy from here: http://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/cvs/source/stable/1.11.22/cvs-1.11.22.tar.bz2 Regards, Keith. |

Oh, I may have edited termios.h a long time ago.

Well, there is the collection of HOWTOs, under the MSYS heading at: http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/MinGWHowTo This should tell you how to build MSYS components, even to the extent of creating a release, but I still need a volunteer to act as Release Manager, in a similar fashion to the roles played by Danny Smith for GCC/binutils, and Chris Sutcliffe for w32api and MinGW-runtime, to make official releases happen.

I know the MSYS build system, and I already contributed some fixes to the coreutils package. I also released a new coreutils snapshot recently, as per Earnie instructions. See: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1645851&group_id=2435&atid=102435 I am already member of the developer mailing list. I will make a formal offer there later on.

I just got a chance to test out this updated version of cvs with MSYS, and I keep getting the following error when the cvs update has completed: Hm, dispatch protocol error: type 80 plen 26 I have 'cvs -z9' (minus the quotes) in my .cvsrc and I am executing a 'cvs up' from the sourceware repository. Any ideas as to what the cause could be? Chris -- Chris Sutcliffe http://ir0nh34d.googlepages.com http://ir0nh34d.blogspot.com http://emergedesktop.org |

Thanks to Benjamin Smedberg, who provided an updated build, I've now added CVS-1.11.22 to the `Snapshot' distribution of MSYS: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/cvs-1.11.22-msys.tar.bz2 Please test.
