It'd be good to hide it. Is there any option in sourceware? I haven't tried it but i've seen some option with a mailman mailing list to hide email address though I don't know if it does. Is there any option like it with sourceware.. are they equivalent in this respect? I used to have an email account dedicated to mailing lists, with folders for each program whose mailing list I subscribed to, spam there if I got it wasn't a big deal, and when I didn't use it for some months, it got deactivated, which was maddening.. I know my main address won't get deactivated, as I check it often, though getting lots of notifications for those emails is irritating and yahoo instant messenger notifies me with new emails. A great feature but not when it notifies me each time a new post appears on a mailing list. </pre> narium85-ididapeeinitalyintotheseayipee< at >yahoo.co.uk 2012-04-03T08:18:31 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.talk/5082 <pre>http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831568.aspx "Features Removed or Deprecated in Windows Server "8" Beta ...

It shows up good in Gmail. I'm writing via Gmail and I have enabled the "Use Unicode (UTF-8) encoding for outgoing messages" option and I'm writing a "Plain Text" message. As such, I thought I'm *safe*. I don't know if this is a shortcoming of the mailing list or Gmail ... but anyway, has anyone noticed similar behaviour? If yes, have anyone found a solution (other than using only ASCII characters in one's name)?

I've been frustrated at the lack of guidance I've found online regarding how to build an internationalized text-based Unix application, in particular with reference to handling different character sets. For example, "man" recognizes the character set specified in locale settings and uses Unicode punctuation appropriately. OTOH, the cygutils "ascii -e" utility does not recognize that my LANG specifies UTF-8 and outputs garbage for the extended half. Should this be considered a bug? Closer to a real application, how should a program that reads, processes, and outputs text detect the character set so that it can process the text correctly? In the absence of a BOM in the input file, should the program blindly presume the locale-specified character set or analyze the file to guess it? And what advice is there for guessing? And, once detected, what takes precedence for output: the input file's character set or the l</pre> Nellis, Kenneth 2011-05-23T13:44:40 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.talk/4988 <pre>I expect to have little or no internet access until 27 April.

Corinna </pre> Corinna Vinschen 2010-12-15T13:37:03 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.talk/4925 <pre>I can finally remotely power up my cygwin system by sending a "wake on lan" string over the ethernet. No more waiting for my wife to come home to turn on the system so that I can check out a cygwin problem. Maybe everyone already knows about this but it was new to me. I had to install the "wakeonlan" (or "wol") software on linux, enable "power on from s5 by PME" in the bios, and tweak some of the obvious settings for the network adapter (most notably the power management settings) under the device manager. Now, issuing a "wakeon lan xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" turns on the system. Pretty cool. I thought I'd spread the word in case I'm not the only person who has been interested in getting this working. You'll probably need a fairly new motherboard for this. I think mine is a couple of years old. Thanks to Larry Hall for helping me get this set up. cgf </pre> Christopher Faylor 2010-12-01T15:42:53 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.talk/4913 <pre>https://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2010/11/09/10087919.aspx </pre> Christopher Faylor 2010-11-10T04:37:38 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.talk/4910 <pre>http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-talk/2005-q4/msg00041.html </pre> Buchbinder, Barry (NIH/NIAID) [E] 2010-10-18T15:12:56 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.talk/4910 <pre>http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-talk/2005-q4/msg00041.html </pre> Buchbinder, Barry (NIH/NIAID) [E] 2010-10-18T15:12:56 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.talk/4908 <pre>--- Dom 10/10/10, Yaakov (Cygwin/X) ha scritto: why not, the last time I counted you had only 40% of all the packages. ;-) Marco </pre> Marco Atzeri 2010-10-10T17:46:08 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.talk/4896 <pre>--- Gio 7/10/10, Corinna Vinschen ha scritto: Hi Corinna, is Calimero (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calimero) complaining about all these tests with an hippo ?

Original post at the bottom... Executive summary: unison 2.40.16 (cygwin) freezes upon exit of a merge command, but only when one root is ssh. Works fine when both are local. Testing the MSVC build of 2.40.16 also works fine with a ssh-root. Any hints are welcome! As a last resort, I'll have to dive into building unison on cygwin myself. Cheers, Robert -------- Original Message -------- Thanks, Harald! However, I'm fairly committed to using cygwin in many respects (I synchronize a substantial set of portable tools, scripts and data between all my servers and workstation (about 10 in total)), and would prefer keep it that way. The debug message is the last debug output (using -debug all) before unison "freezes". I deemed the other messages to be unimportant - I realize I may have been mistaken. The problem seems to be easily reproducible on several of my workstations using the command line I posted, and doesn't seem to depend on any </pre> Robert Schmidt 2010-09-30T11:29:36 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.talk/4857 <pre>Hmm, for some reason a post by DaveK from five years ago has become a minor sensation on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/cu8fx/constructive_criticism_on_cygwins_mailing_list Granted, it is a great example of the WJM tradition: :) Andy </pre> Andy Koppe 2010-07-27T18:50:16 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.os.cygwin.talk
