Hello everyone,
I'm trying to create a "Small Admin Cywgin relase", called AdminCgwin.
If it works, I will upload to sourceforge.
These are the main lines:
1- Create an installation windows package (.msi) with WIX.
2- Default Installed packages: base + admin + apt-cyg.
The remaining packages should be installed via apt-cyg
3- Customize /etc/profile to use folders outside the "Installation
folder". Folders like Temp, Home must be out "cygwin installation
folder".
4- Customize Cygwin.bat to start in a folder with spaces.
5- Launch a custom action after msi installation, to execute
postinstall : 000-cygwin-post-install.sh.
I will try to reset /etc/passwd & /etc/group to the "new SAM machine".
Do you see any drawback that could broke cygwin? Do you have any
recommendation? I really appreciate your comments.
Thanks a lot for your time.
