nightly snapshots broken?

nightly snapshots broken?

[Charles S. Wilson]

Something seems to have broken the nightly snapshots.  Well, maybe.  The
last snapshot is 3-07, which contains patches committed thru 3-06. 
Given the discussion on cygwin-patches, there have been a number of
patches since then:

a) Brian Keener's choose.cc patch was not committed until after 3-07
b) Jason Gouger's exit status for windows processes patch
c) Mark Paulus' syscalls.cc patch
d) Danny Smith's #define Win32_Winsock patch
e) Kazuhiro Fujieda's rename() errno patch

but I dunno if they have been committed (which would trigger a new
snapshot build).

Also, Egor has recently sent a number of email's to the cygwin@ list
along the lines of "I just checked in a fix for..." but I see no record
of those in cygwin-patches; and his patches do not seem to have
triggered a new snapshot build.

Or snapshots are broken.

Any ideas, oh mighty cygwin kernel gurus?

they have been checked in, and current cvs sources do contain them all.
for details, see

it looks like snapshot-building-thingie fails to build binary snapshot
from current cvs sources.

Yes, CVS changes can cause the snapshot build to break.  You can usually
see what is broken by doing a `cvs update' and then `make clean &&
make'.  Fix what's broken and submit a patch to cygwin-patches.  The
last build I've done was on 03/06 and I can't do one until later this
week.

Without looking, two comments:

1. Snapshots only run every three days anyway.
2. If the build fails, no snapshot.

That's "new".  They used to build daily, and only skip if (a) no new
patches or (b) broken.  I say "new" because I haven't used a prebuilt
snapshot in over a year so I don't know when this change was made.  I
normally build from CVS myself -- I just checked the snapshot page today
because I was recommending to someone *else* that they try a snapshot...

Yep.
