Peter Rosin skrev 2012-02-16 06:52:David Sastre Medina skrev 2012-02-15 23:14:The files under /etc/profile.d are sourced by /etc/profile, which sets system wide settings. For user-defined values, the place to override a system-wide setting depends on the shell you're using. E.g., for bash, it would be ~/.bash_profile. Check /etc/skel/.bash_profile. It should include these lines:
# Set user-defined locale export LANG=$(locale -uU)
Probably you have a customized ~/.bash_profile, so updating to base-files-4.0-9 didn't replace it.
Hmmm, ok, that doesn't completely match what I'm seeing in my $HOME, my .bash_profile *looks* (who am I to tell, it's attached) unmodified from 4.0-6, so just a quick question, what postinstall script is responsible for moving the updated skel files into $HOME? I couldn't find any, but admittedly didn't spend much time looking...I located base-files-4.0-6.tar.bz2 and my copy in $HOME is indeed not modified. So, your assertion that customization was preventing the update seems wrong (the date of my .bash_profile is consistent with my original Cygwin installation date). I question whether the skel files are automatically copied to the home directory at any other time than at home directory creation. Are they?
Cheers, Peter
PS. I have modified ~/.bashrc and ~/.inputrc, if that is relevant.
Copying skeleton files. These files are for the users to personalise their cygwin experience.
