texlive-collection-basic requires Perl to be removed

This package contains this file: /etc/preremove/texlive-collection-basic.sh which in turn calls: /usr/libexec/update_tlpdb which is a Perl script. I understand that "texlive-collection-basic" requires "perl_base", but if a user removed Perl first then uninstallation of texlive would

Issues with setting or not setting HOME environment variable

I currently do not set the HOME environment variable. I get the impression you're not supposed to do that. When I run a mintty shell, it correctly puts me in "/home/", which is what I want. I'm running into a problem with Eclipse egit, as I think it's looking for the "HOME" environment variable

Hello list, I think there is information the OP can use, but no one has apparently experienced it. Also, it's not likely he'd have gotten good information from the other respective mailing lists, so I think it is fine he asked here. However, I am not very smart and my opinion does not matter, so

Re: GitForWindows vs. Cygwin
