It turns out that this can be solved in setup-ocaml by ensuring that Cygwin's setup registry key is restored as part of the action. I'm therefore not certain that we have to do this for 2.2.0 |
Always pass --no-version-check and --no-write-registry: - Setup should have been updated, so the version check is an interactive risk - Running setup on a root shouldn't interfere with the user's most recent settings (although for most users this should make no difference)
--site
to Cygwin setup when --confirm-level is unsafe-yes
This is no longer required for 2.2.0 - the adjustments in it are probably worth including in 2.2.1, however. |
Given that the user may be prompted, ensure that the dialogs can be used!
Oh dear, I appear to need to U-turn! There is an issue with this which probably is worth addressing for 2.2.0 - if the user happens to end up even interactively with an external Cygwin which needs input, then we've turned the dialogues off, which is bad. I've added a commit to use |

Fixes #6041 - an additional option might be to explicitly abort when run non-interactively as well, but it's getting a bit niche because if you're non-interactive and expecting depext to work with an external Cygwin then clearly you must have specified
--confirm-level unsafe-yes
.Backport into 2.2 in #6057
