Can you send me the output of this on WSL:

for i in a s n r v m p i o; do echo -n "uname -$i: "; uname -$i; done

I don't want to introduce extra dependencies that aren't already
included with Windows or with WSL, but if there's some disgusting way
of shoving everything we need into the platform file, that'd be okay
with me.

Re: Add support for *clip.exe* for Bash on Ubuntu on Windows

2017-07-25 Thread Kenny Evitt 
I just looked at this briefly and I've run into a couple of problems:

 1. `uname` in Bash on Ubuntu on Windows (BUW) outputs `Linux`, so I'd have
to name the platform file *linux.sh* or change the code in
*password-store.sh* that sources those files.
 2. `clip.exe` is unidirectional, i.e. there's no way for it to output the
contents of the clipboard; nor is there a standard program for doing that
either.

Thoughts? Feelings?

The Windows clipboard *can* be accessed from BUW via PowerShell – are you
open to that as a dependency on Windows?
