Never happen. the cygwin-daemon is and will be strongly coupled to the cygwin DLL. (even if it weren't, tho, it is still released under the cygwin/GPL license, "viral" components and all.)So - anyone know the current status of the cygdaemon? the thing that's intended to replace the cygipc library? I'd like especially if the thing didn't require the cygwin dll itself
Nope. The cygipc library as written uses cygwin calls. Therefore, it requires the cygwin DLL. Sure, the underlying IPC semantics are native windows, but cygipc uses cygwin code to help wrap the MSWIN ipc stuff into a POSIX-style interface.and or any of the registry keys (mounts) to work... should be able to quickly deploy it on any system without a great deal of effort... the cygipc library would have been this,
True. patches welcome -- but contributions to cygwin-daemon will probably have a longer lifespan.but I found that it's implementation of SYSV message queues to be somewhat flawed...
