Rebase All command.....

Rebase All command.....

[Pradip Jadav]

Hi guys..
 When I gave command "rebase all", my monitor's screen got damaged. I
mean 25% of screen is got Black  and resizing screen is only upto 80%
of total screen.. It appers as full screen sometimes and 80% screen
sometimes.  Now I have changed my monitor , and this new monitor is
working fine. That damaged monitor is not working properly at any
other machine..
 
 My question is -- Was that just coincidence or  rebase all command 
had done something???

  You must have specified the "--disable-monitor" option!

Actually, I think Dave meant the '--damage-monitor' switch.  Since it
irreparably destroys a monitor, it's an undocumented feature for use 
only by those who are sure they want to damage their monitor.

  They're synonyms, Larry.  After all, damaging a monitor is usually pretty
much the same thing as disabling it.

  Time I told you the truth :)  No, it's just a coincidence, there's nothing
that rebaseall would have done to your monitor and it was only bad luck that
the monitor went wrong at around the same time as you were running it.  It's
not your fault at all, you didn't do anything wrong!

  Thanks for being good-humoured about it!

    cheers,
      DaveK

  Nice one David, thank you!

  It occurs to me that a lot of people don't know how to PCYM* if it doesn't
already support such functionality, so I suddenly thought we should add
another couple of lines to the OLOCA entry mentioning quotefix.  Igor?

<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-10/msg00890.html>.  I'd rather not turn
the OLOCA into an FAQ (i.e., I wouldn't want the answer to "how do I
CMMTNQREAIMR?" to appear directly in the OLOCA), but I'm willing to
include a link.  The problem is that there are many mailers, and every one
of them has different ways of configuring the quoting mechanism.  Should
we include instructions for all of the mailers in the OLOCA?  Or just
Outlook?  What about Outlook Express?  You get the picture...

  Good point.  It would be better as a FAQ entry, perhaps.

I'm afraid I have a similar philosophy about the FAQ; that's really not a
question specific to Cygwin.

So, just to close the loop, the place where this should probably go is to
the overseers list with a suggested change for the sourceware mailing list
FAQ at http://sourceware.org/lists.html#faq .

  Well, I'm not going to suggest it there myself, because PCYM.... is an
entirely cygwin-list-specific thing.  (I've noticed we have very different
etiquette here from the remaining sourceware lists, all of which are much
keener on quoting people's email addresses and indeed on Cc'ing everyone in
the thread personally rather than keeping it to the lists and PCYMing.)  So
it belongs on that page even less IMO than it does in the OLOCA or FAQ.
"How to configure your mailer" is indeed a generic and non-cygwin-related
question, but "How to PCYM...." would be meaningless anywhere else *except*
somewhere cygwin-specific.

  I guess the best thing is to leave it documented in the place where it
already is documented: in the many many archived threads from this list
where it has been mentioned, and we just have to hope people will remember
to STFW when they're told to PCYM.....


    cheers,

That's just bad manners and laziness, however.  Every so often the
mailing list software bounces a message because people have included
everyone in a gcc thread plus the gcc mailing list itself in their
replies and they trip an "excess number of senders" spam rule.  Also,
you will occasionally see "Don't cc me" in any of the other active
lists.  I actually complained about quoting email once in the gdb list,
myself.

In any event, I wouldn't have suggested it if I didn't think that it
would receive some consideration in the overseers list.  It has come
up there before, IIRC.

  Well, I'm not as certain as all that myself.  It seemed to me to be just a
very different culture, but maybe it's just that there isn't as much
self-enforcement of community standards on those lists as there is in here?

  True.  But pretty rarely as compared to how often you see it complained
about here, whereas you see it *happen* an awful lot *more* often than it
happens here.

  OK, that's something I just didn't know, so I'll reconsider.
