I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean. The postinstall script
is supposed to create the mount points according to the user's 1.5
based system registry mount table.
This is for a replacement of a 1.5 with a 1.7 installation, as it's supposed to be at one point.
The problem is that this doesn't allow a parallel installation for
now, even if setup-1.7 is working as advertised.
I should add code to the script which replaces all $OLD_CYGWINROOT path components with $NEW_CYGWINROOT on the fly to support that.
It doesn't attemp to replicate user mounts (for all users? current user? some selected group of 'cygwin' users? Yech!) into /etc/fstab.d/. That's ok, IMO, but when we release 1.7, end-users need to know about that update quirk.
/etc/fstab.d/$USER is created and old 1.5 registry user mount points are copied to /etc/fstab.d/$USER on the fly when the user starts the shell the first time. That's done by the new /etc/profile.d/user-fstab.c?sh scripts in base-cygwin.
