I made a new installation of IRAF 2.17 after an OS upgrade to a virtual machine. I noticed that a login.cl was not created in my ~/.iraf directory within which I ran mkiraf. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
I think this could be fixed by substituting this code immediately before line 118:
# Create local login.cl
in mkiraf.sh in
if [ ! -e login.cl ]; then
copy="yes"
fi
This honestly seems a little simplistic as all it does is check for the existence of a login.cl file. If it is not present,
setting copy to "yes" will bring over a copy of the default version from the distribution. Perhaps that is all that is needed,
but I haven't given this a lot of thought to see where this might break.
If this is a problem others have encountered or can verify I can make a pull request.
