rebase for pgms not currently processed

[Will Renkel]

I used rebaseall and it fixed some of the programs.
But not all...
like exim and other separate packages
I tried list packages in a list and use rebaseall -T
no joy
then moved packages to /bin
again no joy
any words on how to fix these packages?

TIA!

Try posting in a Linux newsgroup.

That does not make sense to me
I dont have a Linux system
I have Windows 7 and cygwin
and I dont believe the rebase problem is a Linux problem.

The reason it was assumed you were using a Linux system is that you used
typical *nix file naming conventions and syntax, and mentioned a utility
which is normally only used under *nix.

You didn't mention using Cygwin under Windows 7 or even what problem you
were trying to fix by using rebaseall.

Exactly. That's why I posted such a terse reply - I thought it contained
all the needed information

Since Cygwin is a way of running Unix-like stuff under Windows, that's
doubtless where rebase came from.

Maybe the OP will give us some information that could help us help him.

Thanks for your remarks.

Your question had me fooled as well.
I thought it was intended for a Linux group or something.

I can see mention of the tool here.

http://cygwin.wikia.com/wiki/Rebaseall

And in this posting, I can see that rebaseall is a script.

"Errors in Exim, rebaseall, inetd"

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-12/msg00341.html

As a Cygwin user, you'd probably open the rebaseall script
in a text editor, and see where it's screwing up.

Note that each version of Windows, has more and more
restrictions on where files can be stored, and on the
permissions. That means, if a script is working with
files, it should be updated to work properly with the
new Windows OS.

If I had your problem, I would try to switch on
debugging in the scripting language, to get more
feedback on what was failing with regard to exim.
