update_etc_shells gone from cygport?

update_etc_shells gone from cygport?

[Chris Sutcliffe]

Hi,

A new release of mksh was made so I fired up cygport to package it and
found out that "update_etc_shells" no longer seems to be part of
cygport (I'm running cygport 0.22.0).  Is there a new function that's
replaced "update_etc_shells"?

Thanks,

Chris

It was just a proposed patch but got lost among other things.  I just 
pushed it into git master.

Can somebody please quickly explain what changes this requires in, say,
a potential tcsh cygport script?

tcsh is actually the example in the documentation. :-)  Add the 
following to src_install():

update_etc_shells /bin/tcsh /bin/csh

But I think we need to coordinate this with an updated base-cygwin.

"Documentation"?  Never heard about this.

base-cygwin?  Not base-files?

Sorry, you're right, base-files.

The file /etc/shells is currently installed by base-files from
/etc/defaults/etc/shells unless it had been altered.  So if you invent a
mechanism to alter the contents of the file, /etc/shells will cease to
be handled in pre-remove and post-install of base-files automatically,
I'd think.  We could then remove it of course.

Achim.

Yes, /etc/shells would end up staying once altered by update_etc_shells, 
but I don't see an issue with that.

Ok, guys, give the word when you do this.

Yaakov, if you want to do it during my absence I announced on
cygwin-developers, feel free to rebuild the tcsh package.  I pick up the
new cygport file when I'm back.


Thanks,
Corinna
