libwmf's sdesc and ldesc

Hi all, In libwmf's sdesc and ldesc should Windows and Microsoft have a stroke through the o? (sorry to whoever's language uses this character, I really should know what it's called!) Just wondering, J.

setup preremove postremove

Hi everyone Sorry if this post should have gone elsewhere (I'm sure somebody will correct it ;) I'm museing about trying to get /etc/profile to update itself. What I'm currently debating is a script which runs before the new files are installed which compares /etc/profile with /etc/defaults/etc/

RE: /WINDOWS

*IF* a /WINDOWS (of some form) was added (in some manner) to cygwin, would that mean I could loose the uname call from /etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh that's causing so much grief under XP? I'd like to get rid of this issue as XP is becoming more and more prevalent. J.

[Update][Test] base-passwd

As per the thread "[RFC] Globally creating a user and a group "root"" I've modified the base-passwd packaged to remove user and group which match the pattern ":S-1-1-0:" and ensure that there's a group "root:S-1-5-32-544:0:". Since this version creates tmp files I'd prefer it to be marked as test
