This might be better suited for MSYS2-packages since this primarily relate to packages inside there (although ssh is the only package I think mentioned other than gdk and qt that we actually package)
I personally wish x11 was packaged with either msys2 or mingw-w64, so I don't have to use vcxsrv and I might be able to try the whole x11+pulseaudio thing
How about packaging vcxsrv in mingw-packages? This always rings in my head
the main focus of MSYS2 is to provide a build environment for native Windows software and the Cygwin-using parts are kept at a minimum.
sshd configs would be possible. I wonder if simply configuring sshd to allow the client to set MSYSTEM environment variable would work well... Then you could add AcceptEnv MSYSTEM
to sshd_config, and something like this in client ~/.ssh/config
:
Host xxx-mingw32
HostName xxx
SetEnv MSYSTEM=MINGW32
Host xxx-mingw64
HostName xxx
SetEnv MSYSTEM=MINGW64
...
sshd configs would be possible. I wonder if simply configuring sshd to allow the client to set MSYSTEM environment variable would work well...
I just tried and it seems to work very nicely. Thanks for the tip!
I would very much like to use MSYS2 remotely (read: sitting at my regular Linux workstation, ssh'ing to MSYS2 for windows-specific things since msys2 does not even install under Wine currently) and there are 3 things which would be of a great help:
$PATH
) appropriately for each of them, similarly to separate launchers in the windows menu (there are several howtos floating around, which work with smaller or bigger tweaks and frustrations); includingsudo
(for administrator access in terminal) would be a cheery on the top;ssh -X
works;Feel free to close the issue if deemed out of question.
