- Subject: [update] base-files
At last, a new version of base-files to try :)
There've been lots of changes (hence the major version
increment). Please remember that this *WILL NOT* update
your current /etc/profile and the skel files *WILL NOT*
be copied unless you are a new user.
Thanks to (in no particular order)...
Igor Pechtchanski (lots!)
Elfyn McBratney (lots!)
Kenneth G Lafond (colour changes)
Max Bowsher (various)
David Kilroy (printer)
Corinna Vinschen (printer)
Alan Miles (/usr/bin/install -D -p -v)
Charles Wilson (MANPATH and INFOPATH) (FHS)
If I missed anyone, I'm sorry!
I've also added a test for id -ng = "mkpasswd" or = "mkgroup"
along with a message. Hopefully this might cut down on the number
of "I have no user" messages :)
If there's a similar test I can do for UID "out of range" I'd
be happy to add that to.
Feedback welcome.
All the best,
J.
