Re: unixkill crashes under cygwin-1.5.20-1 (and cygwin1dll-20060707)


Re: 6.8.99.901-1

I understand that, according to the docs, even under Curr, sometimes an
experimental version of a package can be seen when toggling.  This seems
to be case for 6.8.99.901-1 for the xorg-x11 series.

However, under Curr, I cannot toggle all of the xorg-x11 packages.
Trying to do so keeps switching a few back to 6.8.2.0-4?

If I switch to Exp, then all xorg-x11 packages appear as 6.8.99.901-1,
while of course pulling in some other Exp versions of other packages.
However, the docs are clear that this is not the recommended default,
and when starting setup.exe again, the Curr default will overwrite such
packages if they were selected.

So, what exactly is recommended?

Thanks.

Just how can I can out of x-windoes without a crash dump?  If I right
click on the X icon and Exit, I get the same beahvior as if I use
unixkill?

Or, is this bug (that I have only since in cygwin1.dll-1.5.20-1  and
cygwin1.dll-20060707) such that this occurs no matter how one exits.
The statement below says this is fixed in 6.8.99.901.

Also, under setup.exe, under Curr, my default for the latest X server
is 6.8.2.0-4.  If I toggle New, one of the options is 6.8.99.901-1?
The statement below implies that this is the more recent version?

Thanks.

May I guess you didn't debug this situation?  I did.  Trust me.

I don't understand why I do not have any such crashes under
cygwin1dll-1.5.19, but only with cygwin1dll-1.5.20-1 and the latest
snapshot cygwin1dll-20060707?

I attach the output of cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out
which I took with cygwin1dll-1.5.19.

Thanks.

This is a bug in the confirmation dialog routine in the 6.8.2.0
X server.  That's fixed in 6.8.99.901.
