(In fact, I do have a set of sources that build cygwin packages = that we currently distribute via a "private mirror". I've just not done the wo= rk to do a GTG e-mail. Part of the reason is that one of the packages, the kernel module for Coda, requires a Windows build environment to be installed even though the kernel module is compiled from a UNIX makefile ... so once the extra build environments are installed, one can do "make; make ins= tall" in the cygwin directory tree.... but I digress...) I decided to try 1.7 with Coda and rather quickly got stopped by a user/gro= up issue in 1.7. I have my primary sources copies on a NetBSD box with Samba runni= ng on it. Works great from 1.5. Map the drive in windows, use cygwin to compile via= the=20 net. In 1.7 the user and group returned is 2^32-1 (ffffffff) which doesn= 't allow me to do anything other than read on the file server. I'm not sure if this is the right list for 1.7 bugs or if they should go to= another list. If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will tell me.... e.g. to the same file server and ls the same=20 1.5: cd /cygdrive/n ls -ldn JUNK drwxr-xr-x 1 500 513 0 May 27 10:54 JUNK 1.7: cd /cygdrive/n ls -ldn JUNK drwxr-x--- 1 4294967295 4294967295 0 Jan 14 2008 JUNK So it looks like user, group, permissions and dates are all wrong under 1.7. --Phil --=20 Phil Nelson (phil at cs.wwu.edu) http://www.cs.wwu.edu/nelson NetBSD: http://www.NetBSD.org Coda: http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu --nextPart3043355.SOH6WZlFvQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
