[X2Go-Dev] Bug#636: Switch Windows builds from Cygwin Bash to Cygwin Dash

[Michael DePaulo]

Package: x2goclient
Version: 4.0.3.0-2014.10.10-b0c3672

Since before I started maintaining the Windows Builds of X2Go Client,
we've been shipping Cygwin Bash.

Due to the recent Bash vulns and the required Cygwin Bash security
updates, I am thinking of switching us over to Cygwin Dash.[1] I would
simply rename ash.exe to sh.exe as part of the Windows build
process.[2]

A shell is required by Cygwin OpenSSH, which we also ship. woglinde
and I were discussing this on IRC.

<woglinde> mikedep333 dash should be okay
<woglinde> we only need a shell
<woglinde> there are no special shell scripts in the client
<woglinde> and unfornatly the ssh_force commnds needs the shell to
open the command
<woglinde> hm otherwise you always need a shell via ssh
