2023-12-01Cygwin: sparse support: enable automatic sparsifying of files on SSDsCorinna Vinschen
Given that SSDs don't have a seek penalty, we can enable automatic sparsifying of files on SSDs, even if the "sparse" mount option is not set. Signed-off-by: Corinna Vinschen <corinna@vinschen.de>
2023-11-29Cygwin: Add '--names-only' flag to cygcheckJon Turney
Add '--names-only' flag to cygcheck, to output just the bare package names.
2023-11-28Cygwin: introduce fallocate(2)Corinna Vinschen
First cut of the new, Linux-specific fallocate(2) function. Do not add any functionality yet, except of basic handling of FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE. Signed-off-by: Corinna Vinschen <corinna@vinschen.de>

Add uchar.h accordingly. For the c32 functions, use the internal functions wirtomb and mbrtowi as base, and convert wirtomb and mbrtowi to inline functions calling the c32 functions. Signed-off-by: Corinna Vinschen <corinna@vinschen.de>
2023-07-22Cygwin: testsuite: Drop using DejaGnu to run testsJon Turney
A more sophisticated (and modern) test harness would probably be useful, but switching to Automake's built-in test harness gets us parallel test execution, colourization of failures, simplifies matters, seems adequate for the current testuite, and means we don't need to write any icky Tcl.

2023-07-14Cygwin: testsuite: Drop Adminstrator privileges while running testsJon Turney
Test access05 and symlink03 expect operations to fail which succeed when we have Adminstrator privileges. There's perhaps a bit of incoherency here: some XFAILed tests expect to run as root (so maybe we need the ability to selectively cygdrop?). Signed-off-by: Jon Turney <jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk>
2023-07-14Cygwin: testsuite: Setup test prereqs in 'installation' the tests run inJon Turney
Do some setup in the Cygwin 'installation' at testsuite/testinst/: * Ensure /tmp exists * Use BusyBox to provide executables needed by tests which use system() (sh, sleep, ls) This enables tests which use system(), or require /tmp to exist to pass.

2023-04-03Cygwin: chattr: fix description of requirements for casesensitive directoriesCorinna Vinschen
Preconditions of WSL or empty directories dependent on Windows versions was totally screwed up. Drop the description from --help, describe the preconditions for case-sensitive dirs in the man page instead.

2023-03-29Cygwin: doc: fix description of new "env" schema for /etc/nsswitch.confCorinna Vinschen
Fixes: 27376c60a9b8 ("Allow deriving the current user's home directory via the HOME variable") Signed-off-by: Corinna Vinschen <corinna@vinschen.de>
2023-03-28Allow deriving the current user's home directory via the HOME variableJohannes Schindelin
This patch hails from Git for Windows (where the Cygwin runtime is used in the form of a slightly modified MSYS2 runtime), where it is a well-established technique to let the `$HOME` variable define where the current user's home directory is, falling back to `$HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH` and `$USERPROFILE`. The idea is that we want to share user-specific settings between programs, whether they be Cygwin, MSYS2 or not. Unfortunately, we cannot blindly activate the "db_home: windows" setting because in some setups, the user's home directory is set to a hidden directory via an UNC path (\\share\some\hidden\folder$) -- something many programs cannot handle correctly, e.g. `cmd.exe` and other native Windows applications that users want to employ as Git helpers. The established technique is to allow setting the user's home directory via the environment variables mentioned above: `$HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH` or `$USERPROFILE`. This has the additional advantage that it is much faster than querying the Windows user database. Of course this scheme needs to be opt-in. For that reason, it needs to be activated explicitly via `db_home: env` in `/etc/nsswitch.conf`. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

2023-03-14Cygwin: doc: Update postinstall/preremove scriptsJon Turney
setup >=2.925 indicates to postinstall and preremove scripts the Start Menu suffix to use via the CYGWIN_START_MENU_SUFFIX env var. It also indicates, via the CYGWIN_SETUP_OPTIONS env var, if the option to disable Start Menu shortcut creation is supplied. Update the Cygwin documentation postinstall and preremove scripts to take these env vars into consideration.

2023-02-26Cygwin: introduce /proc/codesets and /proc/localesCorinna Vinschen
So far locale(1) had to have knowledge how to construct, thus duplicating the effort how Cygwin handles locale strings. Move locale list and codeset list generation into Cygwin by providing /proc/codesets and /proc/locales files. /proc/locales does not list aliases, those are still handled in locale(1). locale(1) opens the files and ueses that info for printing, like any other application can do now.

2022-12-21Cygwin: configure: Add option to disable building 'dumper'Jon Turney
Rather than guessing, based on just the presence of libbfd, add an explicit configuration option, to build dumper or not, defaulting to building it. This might have some use when bootstrapping Cygwin for a new architecture, or when building your own Cygwin-targetted cross-compiler, rather than installing one from the copr, along with the dependencies of libbfd.

2022-12-02Cygwin: uinfo: Drop long disabled nss_prefix and nss_separatorCorinna Vinschen
Originally the code was written to allow three ways of prefixing accounts and to freely define a domain/account separator. This code has been disabled even before being officially released, and it was never re-enabled. Given there has been no complaints for eight years now, drop this code eventually. Just add a macro to define the domain/account separator statically. Fixes: cc332c9e271b ("(cygheap_pwdgrp::nss_init_line): Disable db_prefix and db_separator settings.
