*Further work*
1. As TODO states, automatically elevate privileges using UAC
(see my next feature patch to cygutils/cygstart)
2. Populate icon and more fields in Uninstaller entry
3. Consider inclusion in Cygwin installer as a user choice? Then chere
would need to be way more robust and not just fail on lack of rights
and an exit code of 0.
4. Consider rewriting uninstaller to call a Batch script, chicken and
egg problem as it requires Cygwin env to uninstall itself.
These seem like plausible future work items; is there a TODO file in the
package you could add these to? Or maybe create one in another patch?
Hi Mark,
yes indeed, there's a TODO in the file in comments at the top. My own
notes came as an afterthought, which is why it's in the patch overview.
I can work towards some of these items in chere, now that I know there's
someone to potentially accept my patches :)
If you want me to add this paragraph to code now - not a problem. Is it
OK to attach it as a 5/5 patch to the current series? I think it could
be applied out of order anyway, without conflicts.
