Hi,
In addition to the issues with the prompt reported elsewhere, bash-3.0-7
seems to have some minor packaging issues:
1) The info file is missing. Running "cygcheck -l bash" on bash 2.05 lists
"/usr/share/info/bash.info" but is not found in the bash 3.0 package.
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/bash-3.0.README suggest an info file should be
included.
2) The package scripts don't seem to remove /bin/bash as /bin/sh when
downgrading to an older version. I would expect that either /bin/sh
would be be replaced with ash, or the new (downgraded) bash version.
- Run setup to upgrade to bash 3.0
- Run setup to downgrade bash back to 2.05:
~> bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)

~> sh --version
GNU bash, version 3.00.16(7)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
