The checksum information has to come from somewhere and that somewhere requires a package install or update. Together with that new setup we might have an update of cygccheck and some unrelated packages that happen to have been rebuilt recently, but certainly not the whole distribution. >> so I'm going to assume that for >> quite some time a mix of old and new .lst files (for instance) exists on >> the majority of installations and whatever we do (in cygcheck, say) >> needs to work with that. > > 1.

Provide a new version of setup That doesn't cut it, unless you want to require the whole distribution to be rebuilt and everything re-installed with that change.
