[ITA] base-files

[ITA] base-files

[Achim Gratz]

Since the current maintainer David Le Sastre Medina seems to have gone
missing, here's my attempt to wrap up the changes that were implemented
after the 4.1-2 package was published as experimental (and then never
released).  The pertinent discussions on the Cygwin ML are listed in the
ChangeLog.

Change Log
----------
4.1-3
    * Eliminate Windows PATH from default PATH if CYGWIN_NOWINPATH is
      set.  Record the Windows PATH in ORIGINAL_PATH unless that
      variable is already set.
    * Better guard for non-existent /etc/skel.
    * Improve profile_d function.
      cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-08/msg00488.html
    * Add /etc/shells.
      cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-03/msg00039.html
    * Use full path for tools and avoid DOS file warning when creating
      service files.

          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      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.

Thanks for catching that, sorry.  The middle button of my mouse acts up
since a few days and produces additional clicks sometimes…

I've no problem doing that once everything else is finalized.

That has been in there since the 4.0 release.  I cannot find out what
problem it was supposed to solve (it was introduced at the end of 2010).
I can remove it if setup.exe already does that.

Almost exactly two years.  Again I can't really follow what the original
problem was, but if it's been solved in a different way in the meantime,
then that script certainly can be removed.

I still need to wait for Chuck to create an inetutils package without
/etc/defaults/etc/shells.  Then we'll probably need someone with
sourceware access to create the four !ready files so that the upload
gets done in synchrony.

The files are moved a 14 minutes past the hour.  Just don't upload a
couple of minutes befor that time and you won't require error-prone
external help.

Chuck, could you let me know when you're ready so we can arrange for a
synchroneous upload?

FYI, I contacted Chuck off-list 6 days ago but he didn't reply yet.

I hope Chuck will still reply in the next couple of days, but if not, we
have to find some solution to be able to go forward.

I am updating some packages this weekend, so if someone can make me
temporarily maintainer for inetutils-server I'll repackage it without
/etc/default/etc/shells and upload together with base-files and the
other updates.

Chris, can we do this by simple changing cygwin-pkg-maint temporarily?

In theory, you shouldn't have to drop Chuck as a maintainer.  You could
have both Achim and Chuck as inetutils-server maintainers.

How so?  Simply both maintainers in the same line, like this:

inetutils                       Charles Wilson, Achim Gratz

or two lines?

inetutils                       Charles Wilson
inetutils                       Achim Gratz

The latter.

The former would be viewed as one person named

"Charles Wilson, Achim Gratz".

I'll do it tomorrow evening as the latest update of the !package file

Package updates happen every five minutes so you were probably only
a minute or so from having inetutils upload privileges.

I've seen that and almost put the update out, but I have one question: I
gave the patched tar file a release number of "1p1" so that Chuck can
continue to increment his releases as he wishes.  That works fine when
using genini, but I'm not sure what if upset would accept this as a
valid package.  If you think that's OK, then I'll set the !ready flags.

That's very thoughtful of you but I think I'd rather not experiment with
version number ordering.  I think you should just bump the -N part to
the next higher number and let Chuck deal with bumping his version number
twice.  I think that will be less confusing to upset and the end user.

On a side note:  I REALLY REALLY hope Chuck is ok and is just on vacation
or something.

Done and the update is triggered.  Hopefully that works out with no
errors from upset.  If I may ask another question, is there a way to get
the generated setup.ini files directly, before they get pushed out to
the mirrors?

You can always download them directly from ftp.cygwin.com but I wouldn't
advertise that fact too heavily.  We have mirrors to keep the load on
cygwin.com/sourceware.org as light as possible.

Thanks.  Being able to use this has alerted me to the fact that I
needed to also change the setup.hint file on x86 due to the fact that a
test package was present.  On its way now…

Looks good to me. Uploaded and cygwin-pkg-maint updated. Can versions
before 3.9-3 be deleted?

Keeper of the Gold Stars, please award a richly deserved one for
adopting and revamping this vital package.

Thanks for your patience!
Andy

Indeed.  It took so long to iron out the package that I already thought
it would get the vaporware award at one point :)  I'm really glad that
you took over the package, David, and that you worked so diligently on
it.  A gold star is well deserved.


Thanks,
Corinna

If this is a question for me, I think they can be safely deleted now.

Being part (even such a little one) of the awesome collective effort the
cygwin project represents is the Real Gold Star I'm the recipient of.

Thank You.

Andy, I don't see the change in cygwin-pkg-maint.  Did you forget to
