copying Samir as unlikely he is on the cygwin mailing list.


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.

Best Regards
Marco

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.

Can we change that error hint so that it points to a suitable help page 
rather than the mailing list which is getting spammed by lots of people 
who don't even have an idea how to put a meaningful title on their report?

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.

The old Cygwin versions still containing the pointer to email are
actually at least 4 years old, Cygwin 1.7.33 and earlier.

Indeed.  It seemd like a good idea at the time...

We're just users of the sourceware infrastructure.  What we could try
by ourselves is to create an automated reply.  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).

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.

That's a long shot, but… given the increased traffic of this noise, it may be
an option.

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

An even less disruptive approach would be to just auto-reply to the original
FAST_CWD message, which is what Corinna has already indicated in this
thread that she look into as she has time.
