Re: More pipe problems (was Re: [Fwd: 1.5.11-1: sftp performance problem])


This solution is problematic as the Unisons avail with Cygwin are beta versions 2.9.2 or 2.10.2 whereas the latest stable unison is 2.9.1. Normally this wouldn't be a problem except these versions will not run with a 2.9.1 version at the other end (Unison seems somewhat unique in that regard - requiring the exact same version at both ends). And it's simply not always possible to control what version is available at the other end.

Hi All,

One temporary solution is to use the Cygwin version of unison, rather than the native Windows version. The Cygwin unison package is available through setup, or can easily be compiled from sources in the Cygwin environment.

Hi All...

Back on Octber 4-6, Corinna, Chris and Bob Byrnes were discussing temporarily reverting some of the pipe changes until a better solution is found so that native unison and other native programs would work with pipes (with ssh for example) on XP SP2.

With the release of the 1.5.12 cygwin1.dll, downgrading is no longer an option...there are dependencies that prevent rolling the dll back. Also, the cygwin1.dll version that temporarily solved the problem is no longer available through setup.

Is a solution expected any time soon, or can the cygwin1.dll have a temporary fix until a better solution is found.

Thanks,

...Karl
