Re: init and agetty packages available for review/upload.
Corinna -- please add a skip: command to sysvinit's setup.hint (and give
me write perms on the file). We don't want sysvinit to appear in
setup.ini until after I've uploaded the new version of cygutils, since
there is a conflict over the last and utmpdump commands.
I'll be uploading a new version of cygutils that does not have those
files later today, and I'll remove the skip: command at that time.

Nope -- I wouldn't have asked if I did. But its obviously too late now,
its already been replicated to the mirrors.

I'm not a member of the cygnus group.
In any case, I'll be uploading a new cygutils without last.exe and
utmpdump.exe soon. Folks who have already installed sysvinit will have
to reinstall it after upgrading cygutils. I tried. Sigh.
BTW, I had found that the following was necessary in cygutil's
postinstall script when I added last and utmpdump to cygutils. Now that
those programs are in sysvinit, sysvinit's /etc/postinstall script
should contain these commands (that's /etc/postinstall/sysvinit.sh, not
/usr/bin/init-config):
#!/bin/sh
if [ ! -d /var/run ] ; then \
mkdir -p /var/run ;
fi
if [ ! -d /var/log ] ; then \
mkdir -p /var/log ;
fi
if [ ! -f /var/run/utmp ] ; then \
touch /var/run/utmp ;
fi
if [ ! -f /var/log/wtmp ] ; then \
touch /var/log/wtmp ;
fi
