[RFU] [1.7] Base-Files

[John Morrison]

I've updated this with the patch from Herb Maeder (thanks Herb, sorry it
took me so long!).  I propose leaving the 1.5 as is and just go forward
with 1.7.

John,
/etc/profile contains
if [ ! -d "${HOME}" ]; then
        mkdir -p "${HOME}"
        echo "Copying skeleton files."
The skeleton files are copied even if the the mkdir has failed.
This happens to network users who install Cygwin while connected, with HOME on a
network drive, and then later use their laptop while disconnected.
In that case the skeleton files should not be copied, a warning should be issued and HOME should 
be set to /tmp, "$TEMP" or some such. It's straightforward and I would be happy to provide a 
patch if you wish.
Thanks

Pierre

Patch would be appreciated, thanks Pierre; I've not got an environment
which could test that.

  Looks like a typo to me.  Perhaps you meant

              { [ -d "$TEMP" ] && HOME="$TEMP"; }
		|| ( [ -d "$TMP" ] && HOME="$TMP"; }
		|| { [ -d /tmp ] && HOME=/tmp; }

Yes, thanks. I didn't detect it because $TMP == $TEMP on my system.
I am not sure it's worth checking both TMP and TEMP, not sure which is most prevalent.

Did you mean to test for "$TEMP" then use "$TMP"?  If not, is...

if [ ! -d "${HOME}" ]; then
        if mkdir -p "${HOME}"; then
                echo "Copying skeleton files."
                echo "These files are for the user to personalise their
cygwin experience."
                echo
                echo "They will never be overwritten nor automatically
updated."
                echo
                cd /etc/skel
                /bin/find . -type f | while read f; do
                        fDest=`echo ${f} | sed -e 's/^\.//g'`
                        if [ ! -e "${HOME}${fDest}" -a ! -L
"${HOME}${fDest}" ]; then
                                /usr/bin/install -D -p -v "${f}"
"${HOME}/${fDest}"
                        fi
                done
        else
                echo "${HOME} could not be created."

                { [ -d "${TEMP}" ] && HOME="${TEMP}"; } ||
                        { [ -d "${TMP}" ] && HOME="${TMP}"; } ||
                        { [ -d /tmp ] && HOME=/tmp; } ||
                        HOME=/

                echo "Setting HOME to ${HOME}."
        fi
fi

OK?

Do we do anouncements for 1.7 packages yet and are they
done/marked/prefixed differently from 1.5s?

Er, John, I'm sure you really know how to look at the cygwin-announce
mailing list archives right?

Sorry Chris, I've been (a little) out of touch with the cygwin stuff for a
while... but it looks like I need to patch it anyway before the
announcement.  I've not upgraded these packages in, err, years!
