  I misread that subject line as "setup.exe wrong parentage" and wondered why
someone would be impugning its reputation in such a way.

Yeah, in the djbdns case, it's more of a situation of not wanting to
stick with an arcane file layout.  Most of us have more experience
dealing with bind.  I've found the djbdns stuff hard to use.

The original plan was to get rid of all of the djb utilities but you
may have noticed that we're still using qmail and ezmlm.  I'm very
comfortable with them.


I'm gratificated that you approve.

  Heh.  That's a questionable statement, at best:

http://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-64/product_id-144/ISC-Bind.html



  BTW, was it totally irrational of me to be so chuffed to see CGF using the
term "administering" a server rather than "administrating"?  I really dislike
the latter usage.

Re: command not found when running from batch

zgintasz — 2012-12-31T17:32:16

First of all, thanks for reply. I'm compiling my own project with cygwin by
launching build.sh. If I open cygwin, then locate path and then run
build.sh, everything works totally fine:
1. open cygwin
2. cd F:/Projektai/osdev
3. ./build.sh
But I'm a bit lazy, so I want to make build process easier - by just
launching batch file.
How to make this path correct?
These files are in F:\cygwin\usr\local\cross\bin.

Re: command not found when running from batch

marco atzeri — 2012-12-31T16:33:42

first: you are on the wrong mailing list,
       use cygwin (at) cygwin (dot) com


To build what ?

i586-elf-gcc looks a cross compiler, so probably your path is wrong,
as it is not a standard cygwin compiler

command not found when running from batch

zgintasz — 2012-12-31T15:48:22

Hi,

I'm trying to make building process easier. When I launch cygwin and run
build.sh script, everything is fine, but I want to launch this script from
batch file. I do this:

< at >echo off
F:/cygwin/bin/bash --login -c "cd F:/Projektai/osdev && sh build.sh"

When I launch it, I get errors *i586-elf-gcc: command not found* and
*i586-elf-ld: command not found*. I can't find the solution, how can I fix
it?

Thanks.

Re: Completely off-topic

I just emailed the author.  Maybe we could earmark contributions for
"Cygwin the Hippo" and if we hit $300 we'd get a new character.

Or, maybe it would be better to see how much interest there is here
first before having people commit to something.

Anyone else interested?  My son is a graphic artist so, besides being a
big fan of the strip, I'm really interested in helping this guy out.

I am going for the gold plan so I have some artwork to hang in my

Re: The losing battle of TOFU

Christopher Faylor — 2012-11-02T20:38:05

Rather depressing.  :-)

Occasionally, I take time to laboriously correct the threading and
respond on the bottom but that's pretty silly.

I think most of the time when I do bottom posting people wonder why in
the world I'm doing that.

Re: The losing battle of TOFU

David Eisner — 2012-11-02T20:30:51


The other day I inadvertently bottom-posted to a relatively small
mailing list of (mostly non-tech) friends. One (of the tech variety)
responded so:

"David,  It's over.  We lost.  The world settled on doing it the wrong
way.  You did it the wrong way with us, for a decade.  Remember?  When
you reply-bottom now, all you do is mess up the threading.

Condolences,
Andrew"

He's probably right.

RE: The losing battle of TOFU

Adam Dinwoodie — 2012-11-02T16:53:49

Personally, I love the fact that the Cygwin list still (attempts to) enforce
interleaving.  It feels like the last bastion of readability and common sense
over laziness.


Which is more-or-less fine for things that aren't going to go on a crawlable
website, and a nightmare for things that are.


That's a standard Microsoft Outlook option.  You can fairly easily set it up to
add those brackets automatically when you add a comment interleaved in a reply.
Not sure if Microsoft came up with the idea, but I strongly suspect that's one
of the reasons it caught on so.

(I have to use Outlook, but I have a practiced technique involving Cygwin vim
and /dev/clipboard for writing nicely quoted emails.)


It's still the case that bottom-posting is normal for each message in threading
clients.  If you look at Gmail or Facebook, for example, they both put the more
recent replies below the older, and they both surpress the context (in Gmail,
there's a button to expand the quoted context; Facebook just doesn't include it

The losing battle of TOFU

Christopher Faylor — 2012-11-02T16:06:17

This isn't really Cygwin-related but I wonder if the battle against TOFU
is well and truly lost.  Very few people that I know use it.  It's not
even on anyone's radar as something that should be done.  Many email
readers default to it.

At NetApp, it's basically the wild west when it comes to quoting style.
Some people use the tried-and-true, "just forward it back along with
email headers".  Some people invent their own style, like bracketing
replies with their name.  No one puts the quotes first and their replies
after and hardly anyone (besides me) ever trims anything.

Just needed to vent.  Not using TOFU makes a lot of sense but I think
the battle is over.

It wasn't that hard to find.

My message was about the quote and had nothing to do with setup.exe,
so I didn't think the context was relevant.  That contributed to
moving it to the talk list.
