Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: Cygwin 1.7.31-2


Hi again,

Sorry to fix top-post of the previous mail.

Hi Cygwin friends and users,


I just released Cygwin 1.7.31-2.  This is mostely a bugfix release.



- Workaround a problem following native NTFS symlinks.  This patch has been
   not applied to 1.7.30, accidentally.
   Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-04/msg00384.html


Android version control tool, repo, does not work with CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict.

Below is the error message when I do "repo init ...":
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/cygdrive/d/cygwin/home/robert_bu/repo/report/.repo/repo/main.py", line 500, in <module>
    _Main(sys.argv[1:])

    result = repo._Run(argv) or 0

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

It seems that it is related to symlink handling of Cygwin. If I set CYGWIN=winsymlinks:lnk, repo works. But other Windows tools, such as TortoiseGit, cannot parse the link.

Best regards.
