Achim, can you please add /bin/fish and /usr/bin/fish to /etc/shells in
base-files?
Thank you,
Andrew

I seem to remember that this was discussed before. If you could perhaps
look up that discussion and fill me in what the conclusion was last time
around?

Achim.

Hm, you're right, it was discussed before:
https://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-02/msg00696.html
I don't know if there was consensus, but the last word there from CGF was
that shell packages should run a postinstall step to add themselves to
/etc/shells.
That seems reasonable. There are questions about the right way to do it,
but I'll ask those in a separate thread.
Thanks,
Andrew

While I'm always ready to reconsider previous decisions, this is how it
appears to be handled in Linux distros. The implication thereof is that
(once all packages have been adapted) the default /etc/shells should
only contain those shells available by default (namely, sh, bash, and
/sbin/nologin), e.g.:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/setup.git/tree/shells
(except that /sbin != /usr/sbin on Cygwin.)

Probably best if we have a cygport function for creating the necessary
postinstall and preremove commands.

Agreed.

Yes, that's what I was thinking. I'll draft one when I have some time.
