Apparently not. So, shan't we add one? /bin/sh /bin/bash /bin/dash /bin/mksh /bin/zsh /usr/bin/sh /usr/bin/bash /usr/bin/dash /usr/bin/mksh /usr/bin/zsh The base-files package would be a good place to be. David?Currently inetutils-server provides /etc/defaults/etc/shells. If that file is required by base functionality now, then I've no problem removing it and modifying inetutils' postinstall/preremove scripts. But we'll need to synchronize the uploads of inetutils-server-$next and base-files-$next. Speaking of base-files, version 4.1-2 has been in test now for over two years...works fine here and fixes a problem with $TEMP and other "standard" variable names: 4.1-1 set both $TEMP and $temp, but these are not distinguished by native processes, leading to confusion if a native process reset $TEMP (but not $temp).I had a problem when running it in an early stage of 64 bit development, but I don't remember at all what the problem was. Do you run it on 64 bit as well?I think this is what you're trying to remember: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-07/msg00114.htmlThanks for finding this one! Unfortunately David has left us, apparently. Is anybody willing to take over maintainership of the base-files package? Thanks, Corinna
It seems no one is interested.I don't know anything about package maintenance for Cygwin, but this particular package doesn't look that hard. I'd be willing to give it a shot.
