ls sources

ls sources

[Vincent Richomme]

Hi,

I wanted to see how cygwin works in certain circumstances and I was
curious
to see ls.exe source code.
Where do you put its source code ?

Thanks

Actually I don't think I am interested in ls.exe but more in cygwin
sources
path.cc, fhandler ... because I am searching how you handle junction
points
and symlinks(>= vista).

The Cygwin sources are openly secret. Or secretly open?

Thanks but of course I know where to find them! What I first didn't find
was
sources of ls, dir ...
But now I founf them in coreutils, I thougt you had some patches inside
your cygwin repository

  All cygwin packages come with self-contained sources installable through
setup.exe.  Although they depend on the headers and libs from the DLL there
are no patches there for them; the patches (if any) are distributed along with
the upstream source tarball in the related source package.

  Also, next time you aren't sure what package contains a given exe:

  Also, we're veering dangerously on topic here.... quickly, someone do or say
something stupid!

They are of course secret.  We're using the famous cryptographic encoding
called "C++".  Only hippos really have a chance to break it.

  Hippos can break anything!  Assuming they fall from a sufficient height!

Thanks I forgot we could download sources from installer.

When I claimed to be leader of the stupid posters in response to redaction
requ, no one stepped up to respond to my complement fishing. Why ? I wanna
no why?  I've never seen a better invitation to prove me wrong. LOL.

So, you now have an obligation to answer dumb questions and make
us appear intelligent? Can we also have you insert posts into the archive
with a requested date?

The hippos are telling me that I must update those sources...

Look for an experimental 8.4-1 soon ;)
