Nothing against your effort.

However it would be more useful for me to have a "nice"
source distribution instead of a nice binary distribution.

"nice" meaning of course a public read access CVS server
with source of the full system and not just the kernel
(well in this case the cygwin DLL).

Something like is very useful for development, as it
allows easy retrieval of versions, makes spotting
differences easy etc.

There are some CVS trees available over at Cygnus (I remember
the egcs tree) - but I haven't found Cygwin there yet.

Will this change?

Regards,
Marc

Hello Marc,

I can but ask the people over at cygnus (hi, dj!)
for cvs access to place the source into.

This would be pretty handy for me as well. At
present I have to track down relevant ports.
It would automate a lot of my grunt work.

Eventually, I'm looking at having a distribution 
w/ 1. A base system (something like 0.0.1)
   2. Optional ports (emacs, x, et alia - not
      just as kept separately at ftp.franken.de,
      but combined, tested, and available as 
      binary + source (but ofcourse))

I hope this is not at odds with the Cygwin CD 1.0
and the `net-release' dj & chris are planning.

Regards,
- varun

PS: Stipe also mentioned doing a distro once.

Hi Everyone,

I got tired waiting for it so put together `das 
blinkenlights'' - a cygwin distro. The aim being a 
fully functional cygwin install with the minimum of 
fuss.

It includes full.exe from Cygnus, a customized
.bashrc & a cygnus.bat replacement. Some ports from 
Andy Piper, vim 5.3, rgrep, the cygwin-b20.1 dll, and 
an installer script called cygwin-bootstrap (read it 
before running it ;-)

Attached are the cygwin-bootstrap script, .bashrc &
cygnus.bat files.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Regards,
- varun

cygwin-bootstrap:
-----------------
#!/bin/bash

# ``das blinkenlights'' is a cygwin distro. The aim is
to have
# a fully functional cygwin install with the minimum
of fuss.
# It includes full.exe from Cygnus, customizable
.bashrc & a
# cygnus.bat replacement. Some ports from Andy Piper,
vim 5.3,
# rgrep, the cygwin-b20.1 dll, and an installer script
called
# cygwin-bootstrap (read it before running it ;-)

# Contact varshar@yahoo.com for any suggestions, bugs
etc.

# Preparation:
#
# 1. plan to keep / & ~ on the same drive, and do not
install full.exe
#    under a directory with spaces in its name e.g.
``Program Files''
# 2. assuming / & ~ are to be on the e: drive, set the
follg environment
#    variables from the Control Panel
#    2.1 CYGWIN_HOME_DRIVE = e:
#    2.2 CYGWIN = title strip_title binmode glob tty
# 3. delete all the cygwin-related ``Cygnus
Solutions'' Registry entries
# 4. with this version of das-blinkenlights, the
full.exe should be 
#    installed directly below CYGWIN_HOME_DRIVE. this
limitation will go
#    away real soon now

# Base:
# 1. unzip das-blinkenlights.0.0.1.zip into e.g.
d:\temp
# 2. run d:\temp\full.exe
# 3. start the bash shell(ignore any warnings)
# 4. cd to d:\temp & run this script e.g. $ bash
./cygwin-bootstrap
rm -f /.bash_history
umount /
mount -f $CYGWIN_HOME_DRIVE / 
cp ./cygnus.bat /cygnus/cygwin-b20/cygnus.bat
cp ./.bashrc /.bashrc
mkdir /.deleted

cp /cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/bin/sh.exe
/bin/sh.exe
cp /cygnus/cygwin-b20/etc/termcap /etc/termcap
cp ./rgrep
/cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/bin/rgrep
bunzip2 ./cygwin1-20.1.dll.bz2

--directory=/

# Additional Ports:
gunzip ./bc-1.05.tar.gz
tar -xvf ./bc-1.05.tar --directory=/

echo "All done.."
echo "Don't forget to replace cygwin1.dll with the one
in $PWD"

.bashrc:
--------
cd ~
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export PS1="[\u@\h] \W [\!] "
alias ls='ls --color'

function rm()
{
  while test $# -gt 0 ; do 
    mv ${1} /.deleted
