Re: about base-files

[Cyrille Lefevre <cyrille dot lefevre-lists at laposte dot net>]

Hi,

FYI, still not fixed...

package version : base-files-3.9-3.tar.bz2

postinstall message :

running: D:\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile
/etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh
cygwin warning:
  MS-DOS style path detected: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
  Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc
  CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this
warning.
  Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
    http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames

=> WINETC and WFILE should use forward slashes (\\ => /)

proposed change (thanks to Eric Blake) :

WINETC="$WINHOME/system32/drivers/etc"
...
WFILE="$WINETC/`expr substr "$mketc" 1 8`"

Regards,

Cyrille Lefevre
