I've noticed gross inconsistencies in the cygwin mirror sites. The packages that you get installed by default depend on which mirror you select. Even worse, some sites are missing important packages all together so you can't improve on the default installation.
My default installation of cygwin from sourceware.mirrors.tds.net did not include the diff or svn commands. When I went back to their mirror site (using setup.exe with the Internet option) the diffutils package and subversion packages were not even available at that site. The cygwin.mirrors.hoobly.com mirror had both of these packages, and based on the full listing it appears that it has a lot more packages that aren't available at sourceware.mirrors.tds.net.
Is there a cygwin mirror site that is authorative, or is it hit and miss on the cygwin mirror sites?
Getting the default and full cygwin releases versioned would go a long way to solving this problem, but cygwin doesn't version default or complete releases.
mirrors.kernel.org
This shouldn't be much of a problem (anymore). Below the mirror list on this page it says that every mirror is automatically checked at regular intervals, and servers missing packages are temporarily dropped from the list. It also says that all mirrors should sync twice a day. I manually checked a number of mirrors just now, and they had all synced recently and seemed to have the same content.
You probably want to look at this announcement from the mailing list, that came out today. It might explain the problems you've been seeing.
I recommend subscribing to the cygwin-announce mailing list if you use cygwin. You can subscribe at the bottom of this page.
That said, I have found kernel.org usually pretty good also.

I am unable to find a pre-compiled version of WinJS to download. I just want a .zip with a CSS and JS file.
I can find the source at Github but I'm unable to compile it on my Surface RT so I really need a pre-compiled version.
Anyone know where it is available for download, pre-compiled?
UPDATE:
Microsoft has made a lot of progress and has now gotten on board with how libraries are normally deployed. You can get it from NPM, Bower, CDN, or create a custom build. Details at http://try.buildwinjs.com/#get
Original answer:
If you install Visual Studio 2013 (you'll need a x86 or x64 PC, not your Surface RT) it will be there. The stuff on GitHub is really not ready for use yet. They promised to publish the files on a CDN when it is. But for now, there are still a ton of bugs that limit it's usefulness outside Windows/WP apps (as you can also see on GitHub) so publishing a compiled build would be counterproductive.
That said... if you look at http://try.buildwinjs.com, you can steal the compiled build it uses :)

I am trying to create a local exact copy of a Wiki on my Linux machine, but no matter what I try, it won't work properly in the end.
The challenge is that I have no access other than web-access to the Wiki, but it would be sufficient to have just a snapshot of the current state. I tried to use wget, but it fails to download files properly and does not convert links inside those pages.
I tried to use websucker.py but again it did not properly convert links, and since most Wiki files have no extension, I could not get my web-server (lighttpd) to serve them as text/html.
Does anyone have a working tool or can tell me what parameters to use with either wget or websucker.py to create a working clone of an existing Wiki?
Since nobody seems to know I spent a few more hours on Google and found the answer myself. I put it here if others have the same issue.
Each Wiki has an API that beside other features has a dump feature. You can use that API for a full or current dump of any Wiki. See here for a tutorial on how to use the dumpgenerator.py created by the wikiteam.
You can later import that XML dump either through the Special:import page or use the importDump.php script as explained in the Mediawiki manual.

I need a best browser compatibility checking tool for my linux machine ( dont want online checking tool) .
Wanted a tool which should be run in my local. Is there any tool ? If yes please recommend.
Regards,
ArunRaj.
I also tried to solve this issue a few weeks ago. After some hours of research i came to the conclusion that sand-boxing or building virtual-machines would be the best solution for me.
I can also recommend ievms script to install virtual machines for running IE6 up to IE10 with a single command:
Automated installation of the Microsoft IE App Compat virtual machines
The Images are provided by Microsoft itself:
Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC Image
For realistic testing, think about using virtual machines and virtual environments like Vmware Player or VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/). You can install different operating systems and different browsers to see what your page looks like.

Like a lot of open-source developers I find myself interacting with maybe dozens of different projects' issue trackers - some for work, some as a hobbyist; some frequently, some more rarely; sometimes to report bugs, sometimes to contribute patches, sometimes to follow others' bug reports that affect me, sometimes to organize my own work on my own projects.
The problem is, this activity is scattered across different web apps (github, bitbucket, trac, bugzilla, mantis, jira, ...) on different projects all over the web and there's no one place to check status of issues I'm trying to stay on top of.
I want one dashboard kind of app where I can browse, search, and sort (by updated date, priority, etc) everything assigned to me, or any bugs I've reported, or any bugs I'm watching for updates - across all projects - without having to manually re-enter all those issues into the dashboard: I want to just feed it a URL to an existing issue in some other tracker and it'll track that issue's status for me.
You could almost get there with just an RSS feed reader, except to be really useful the app would need to know more about the relevant metadata so you can sort and filter as needed.
Has anybody built anything like that? Bonus if it provides write capabilities too, at least for common tasks like adding a comment, marking resolved.
I've never heard of any such thing, and I'm constantly wishing for it. If it doesn't exist I might have to take a crack at it.
I'm not sure if this will give you what you are looking for, but "undock" supports multiple issue trackers... wether it supports them all in one interface I'm not sure, but may be worth checking it out.
edit: yes, it does support them in one interface - the next question is whether you want to read them off a mobile device :-)
Anyway, hope it is of some use.

Can someone tell me where I can find the initial code, Linus Torvalds shared with hackers. I was thinking it will be a great place to learn about operating systems.
It's discussed on KernelTrap. There's a good historical discussion, complete with release notes and mailing list discussions.
The linked article comes complete with this gem, which is undoubtedly what Linus looked like after release:
(source: kerneltrap.org)
For the discussion, see here. For the complete Linux 0.01 release, download this and verify it with this signature.
If you want to look at the history in a "nice" way, you could use Dave Jones's Linux-History Git repository, which includes all versions (at least all the versions that still exist, sadly some of the 0.99 versions have been lost forever) from 0.01 to 2.4.0. There is another history repository from Thomas Gleixner, which covers 2.4.0 to 2.6.12 and of course everything since 2.6.12 is available in Linus's Git repository. Linus also has a repository which contains an import of the CVS export of the BitKeeper repository from 2.5.0 to 2.6.12.
You can use Git's graft feature to glue these repositories together to get a unified view of the entire history. There are also various scripts floating around that try to make these repositories even more accurate, like this one for example.
kernel.org is the repository for the Linux Kernel. Here is the "historic" section with really old code: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/Historic/
I'm not so sure old Linux code is the best way to learn about an OS. For starters, it's not an OS, it's just the kernel. Look into Minix, that would be more interesting, it was created from the ground up for educational purposes.
