location of postinstall scripts?

location of postinstall scripts?

[Len Giambrone]

Where are the postinstall scripts for each package located?  They don't appear
to be in the package tarballs, and I'm not sure where else to look.  I'm
working my way through the setup source now, but if anyone has a quick
pointer, I'd appreciate it.

Len,

Postinstall scripts are in /etc/postinstall and
Preremove scripts are in /etc/preremove

Cheers,
Nicholas

Thanks, I see some of them now.  I thought for sure openssh had one, but I
didn't see any, so I assumed they were all somewhere else.

Does anyone know where /etc/profile comes from?  Again, I can't find it in any
of the package tarballs, and none of the script in /etc/postinstall seem to
create it.

Grep is your friend.  If you have the setup source it should be pretty
easy to find.

Ok, found it.  I never would have expected setup to create the file....

Hmm.  Parallels abound.  If you can't find it in any package (using the
package search at http://cygwin.com/packages/) then a quick search of
the setup source is certainly in order.  If you can't find something in
those locations or if what you see doesn't make sense, then a mailing
list archive search is also your friend.  Most setup.exe technical
discussion happens in the cygwin-apps mailing list.

Have a look at

Chris, what was the outcome of all those discussions?

Nothing.

FWIW, I am no longer interested in maintaining this package.

Ok. I'll look for another willing soul.
