It was indeed release that I moved the package to. I've since downloaded the setup source from CVS and rebuilt it. I was pleasantly surprised how easy this was (once I realised the setup200202 branch was needed), and after adding some diagnostics have so far found that the check_for_cached calls do seem to be working ok. Will look at download_one later. -- Cliff -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
