^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There's one "base-files" too much.
A few (rather minor) notes:
- I think you should bump the version number. 4.2 or whatever.
- In etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh:
/usr/bin/chmod 1777 /tmp 2>/dev/null
This looks gratuitious. Setup itself already sets /tmp to 1777.
I never heard of somebody changing the permission of /tmp to
something else, so it probably doesn't hurt...
- In etc/defaults/etc/profile:
Just a heads-up. Be prepared to remove the entire section about
mkpasswd/mkgroup checking. It won't work as expected anymore as soon
as my AD integration code goes release. Along these lines, I will
update the base-cygwin package not to create passwd and group files
anymore.
- Do we still need etc/defaults/etc/profile.d/1777fix.sh? How long has
it been?
Other than that, it looks good to me. I'd say, let's go for it when
you're ready.
