Re: postinstall scripts: .sh and .sh.done


James McLaughlin wrote:
Hi,

While fixing a problem I'd posted to the group about
(incidentally, thanks to Brian Dessent for identifying
a Cygwin DLL version mismatch as the source of the
other problem), I ran the post-texmf.sh script. I
don't know if this was meant to give me any diagnostic
information, but anyway it ran successfully, which
means (I think) that TEX etc are now installed. (Of
course, until I bring in the Cygcheck output, I can't
really ask about that.)

My real question revolves around the fact that the
script did not change from post-texmf.sh to
post-texmf.sh.done. Should I change it myself now that
it's finished running, or should I leave it be? Plus,
there was another file in \etc\postinstall that was
.sh and not .sh.done - what does this signify?

Thanks,

James McLaughlin.


You have to do it manually - normally this is done by setup upon successful completion afaik.


If there's another .sh, then it also needs to be run. They should only be .sh if for some reason they didn't run correctly.

arrived... Are you ready to go?
