base-[files|passwd]

Wed Jul 31 07:38:00 GMT 2002

Hi All,

OK, I've split the profile package into two;
base-files and base-passwd.

base-files/setup.hint
sdesc: "A set of important system configuration and setup files"
ldesc: "A set of important system configuration and setup files"
requires: ash fileutils sh-utils textutils
category: base

base-passwd/setup.hint
sdesc: "A script to set up initial passwords and groups"
ldesc: "A script to set up initial passwords and groups"
requires: cygwin ash
category: base

I also wrote a little script to write out (html) the contents
of all the packages on a system.  It might be useful to somebody:

-----------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

packages=`find . -iname '*.tar.gz' -or -iname '*.tar.bz2' | sed
'/.\/package/d' | sort -f | uniq`

echo "<html><body><h1>Cygwin Packages</h1>"
for fullPackage in $packages ; do
  package=`echo $fullPackage | sed 's/^.*\///'`
  echo "<hr/><h2>Package: $package</h2>"
  if [ "`echo $package | sed 's/^.*\.bz2//'`" == "" ] ; then
    echo "<ul>"
    for f in `tar -tjf $fullPackage` ; do
      echo "<li>$f</li>"
    done
    echo "</ul>"
  elif [ "`echo $package | sed 's/^.*\.gz//'`" == "" ] ; then
    echo "<ul>"
    for f in `tar -tzf $fullPackage` ; do
      echo "<li>$f</li>"
    done
    echo "</ul>"
  else
    echo "<p class='unknown'>Unknown package type.</p>"
  fi
done
echo "</body></html>"
-----------------------------------------------------

Takes a couple of minutes to run and (on my system) created
a 2.5meg file.

I prob could enhance it, but it did the job (I needed to
find out what package contained mk[passwd|group] and this
was easier than doing it hit-and-miss by hand!).
