'Missing' Items After Install

[anotherchris]

This may well be on purpose, but after installing Cydia I found I was 'missing' several commands, e.g.

- vi
- top
(I was used to using these two commands)

- chsh
- find
(not sure if these two were part of the BSD subsystem that Cydia replaced).

Also zsh no longer seems present.

I know vi and top packages are listed in Cydia, but as Cydia is a replacement for BSD Subsystem, I'd have expected vi and top to be included. The installer/documentation page should at least warn users of this.

Telesphoreo is big enough as it is, don't add more packages...

Also, terminology: Cydia is the package manager frontend, Telesphoreo is the unix environment (installed along with the "Cydia" Installer.app package).

Now that you have APT is installed it's so easy to add new applications from a shell it isn't funny. Just type:

apt-get install vim top findutils zsh

:and you will have everything you mentioned but chsh, which in fact wasn't in BSD Subsystem.

The bootstrap package for Cydia only brings in those packages from Telesphoreo that are required to:

A) install a known package from Installer that currently relies on BSD Subsytem (which top isn't), and B) support running Terminal or ssh'ing into the system in order to debug networking issues, run apt-*, or debug Cydia

While top is interesting, it doesn't provide anything ps doesn't. Ditto for vim vs nano, and I seriously doubt someone really needs findutils to debug something.

I am therefore marking this bug invalid as, from my perspective, it doesn't list any behavior that wasn't intended.

I did need findutils. So I installed it :)

Hey I didn't touch the component... But the default ended up correct :)
