Jason,
What CGF said. I assume since cygcheck can also be used to find out the
version of one installed package at a time, it might be a good idea to add
another flag. However, I'd suggest restructuring the flags while we're at
it, i.e., only print package info if "-c" is specified (just like registry
info is only printed if "-r" is set). Add a "-e" option that prints
environment; "-n" that checks security stuff (runs "id", checks
/etc/passwd and /etc/group, and so on), and "-i" that checks package
integrity (only valid with "-c"). Then the "-s" flag will only print the
versions of DLLs and the programs found (and the mounts). Problem reports
will then have to include the output of "cygcheck -scnver", but, IMO, this
is worth the fine-grained control over what's printed by cygcheck.
Opinions?
Igor
