Samir, the warning is just a warning not an error. Eventally following the FAQ that Joe reported you can ask Altera to update their tool where they are embedding an old copy of cygwin1.dll.

As Altera and their site has been absorbed by Intel, maybe someone who has contacts or an account there, could ask Intel to update their distributed release of Cygwin during each term break, and add a FAQ entry of their own. -- Take care.

Already been done (well, something similar). Read the FAQ entry. It doesn't help for the old versions of cygwin that are being reported. That's why they're getting that message—because it's an old version. They're not spamming, they're doing exactly what the message told them to do. The message was unfortunate from the get-go. Now that has come up yet again, I do wonder if the mailing list software could somehow trap an unquoted FAST_CWD message and just reply with a message that includes a link to the FAQ entry, rather than send the message onto the list. Probably more trouble than it's worth. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

Read the FAQ entry. The old Cygwin versions still containing the pointer to email are actually at least 4 years old, Cygwin 1.7.33 and earlier. > It doesn't help for the old versions of cygwin that are being > reported.

The mail and the automated reply would still hit the mailing list, but nobody would have to bother to reply anymore. This could even be a simple procmail filter. I'll look into it (but will need time).

I'll look into it (but will need time). Now this may be a nasty hack, buuuut ... if you can either get hold of the current mailing list's subscriber list, to auto-subscribe everyone to a new list, or you are able change the current mailinglist's address to, say, cygwin-ml@cygwin.com, you could set up an autoresponder at cygwin@cygwin.com instead. That autoresponder would then point people at the FAQ entry, and also contain a message that the mailing list has moved to the new address.

A less disruptive approach would be just a) switch this list from anybody-can-post to subscribers-only, at least for the time being, and then b) put the FAQ pointers about FAST_CWD prominently into the auto-reply for non-subscribed users. At the very least this would have the benefit of not breaking the continuity of the mailing list archives. All this based on two assumptions I cannot vouch for: 1) that ezmlm even has the requisite functionality 2) that totally uncontrolled access to the primry mailing list is not on someone's list of non-negotiable requirements -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread
