7/12/2005 .. install doesn't work

[Matthew Lenz]

I've tried installing a few times (cleaned system: removal of all cygwin
directories/files plus regedit key removals) and each time i launch the
cygwin.bat i just end up at a bash prompt in the /usr/bin directory.
'ls' is unavailable along with a few other commands.  Is the install
repo horked right now?  One of the packages broken?  Its not creating a
home tree like it used to.

7/12/2005 .. install doesn't work with newest setup.exe

[Matthew Lenz]

Sorry if this is a double post.  I originally subscribed to the digest
and thought I could send to this list as well.

I've tried installing a few times (cleaned system: removal of all cygwin
directories/files plus regedit key removals) and each time i launch the
cygwin.bat after the install I just end up at a bash prompt in the /usr/bin directory.
'ls' is unavailable along with a few other commands.  Is the install
repo horked right now?  One of the packages broken?  Its not creating a
home tree like it used to.

coreutils-5.3.0-8 is currently broken and makes it through to the 
mirrors, see  http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2005-07/msg00171.html,
try to fetch 5.3.0-7 or wait until it is fixed, please.

What's in your cygwin.bat?

Mine has the following...
------------------------------

@echo off
set cygwin=tty notitle glob
C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin

bash --login -i

------------------------------


And, you mean that you don't have a c:\cygwin\home\ directory?

Its due to the issue that Gerrit posted about previously.  coreutils is
currently horked.  I'll wait patiently :)

You could also try a different mirror.  They certainly aren't all at the same level of updates.

I tried a few all with the same results.  I assume something as serious
as coreutils being broken will be fixed soon, right?

I certainly hope so.

The mirror I use, http://sources-redhat.mirror.redwire.net, is still back at
version 5.3.0-6 of coreutils.

Oh, no-no-no.  We couldn't do something like that.  It would prove that WJM
isn't literal and we can't have that. ;-)  But seriously, there will be an 
updated coreutils package (-9) as soon as the maintainer provides one.  In 
the meantime, the coreutils-5.3.0-8 package has been removed, though it may
take a little time for this to progaate around.  The best option right 
now is to just rerun 'setup.exe' and downgrade.

My sincerest apologies to those affected by the window of time of broken
installations.  I was not paying attention when my ISP informed me that it
did not accept my upload file because it put me over my 25meg quota, and
cgf did not catch the fact that my ISP provided a "File not found" page in
its place that did not match in size or md5sum to my upload request.
That, coupled with the fact that I was away from a computer for 24 hours
immediately after (thinking) I had uploaded -8, has led to some pretty bad
user experiences.  I am in the middle of creating coreutils-5.3.0-9 as I
type this, and will be at my computer today to ensure that it uploads
correctly.

cgf, is there anything we could do to prevent this type of mishap in the
future, such as running "tar tjvf" on proposed submissions to ensure the
uploaded file wasn't corrupted?
