> how can I identify a cygwin system in Python?
I was wondering, in the earlier patch here, how did MACHTYPE know it was
an MSYS system?
self.environ.get('MACHTYPE', None) == 'i686-pc-msys'
Do you need to start the buildslave from Msys for MACHTIME to say "msys"?
If you started the buildslave from Cygwin, would MACHTYPE say "cygwin"?
In fact, I do not start our Windows buildslave from Cygwin. I used the
run-buildbot-as-service contrib. But I still want the BuildCommand
commands to run under Cygwin.
If you don't have MACHTYPE that says Cygwin, there probably is no
foolproof way to tell if a ShellCommand buildstep wanted to run Cygwin.
However, I bet if the first word of the first command in the build step
was "bash", "bash.exe", or a full path to bash, and buildslave is Windows,
then the odds would be pretty good that the command(s) were really meant
for Cygwin bash- or for Msys bash. Either way, the patch would help.
Those who prefer to have their ShellCommand start a BAT file to run Cygwin
commands, I guess they can still set PWD= before they call bash or
whatever.
