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.
I've been advised off-list that chere is not currently in the
cygwin-apps git repository. I will work on getting the current release
version situated there as a known-good base. Then I'll review and
likely apply your patches, then build a test release.
If you want to work on a 5/5 patch, feel free. I can easily add it to
the test release before final release of the new version.
Thanks & Regards,
..mark
