setup-1.45.exe testers needed

setup-1.45.exe testers needed

[Chris Faylor]

I've uploaded a new version of setup.exe to the 'latest' directory.
This version should correct the problem with updating cygwin.

It also has an improved single-page display of mirror sites, implemented
by DJ, along with a slight tweak from me (setup was never supposed to
have displayed the site names as URLs).

If you have the opportunity to try this version out, I would appreciate
knowing if it "does the right thing" in various scenarios, like updating
ash in a directory which already contained the old version of ash or
updating cygwin either in an empty directory or in a directory which
already contains a version of cygwin.

I would appreciate "it works" or "it doesn't work" (sigh) reports and if
you are motivated to provide this please provide the details of your
setup.  A description of the setup options you chose and a 'dir' of the
directory where you ran setup would be appreciated.

Please send any reports to cygwin@sourceware.cygnus.com.

Thanks,
cgf

I tried loading packages I didn't have (inetutils) and packages
I had (ash) both in empty and non empty directories (Win95).
Everything went well. 
The program behaves the same with and without -u.
Nice job!

Tried out setup-1.45.exe. Works perfectly for me; downloaded and installed
only the packages that needed updating. Worked in empty directory as well.
Thanks!

Thank you!  It is very gratifying to get feedback like this whether
it is positive or negative.

I'm unable to even install Cygwin 1.1.1 with the new 1.45 setup. It seems to
check if each part is installed via the registry only and skips it all since
it thinks Cygwin 1.1.1 is still installed. I previouly installed Cygwin
1.1.1 via the 1.43 setup without problems and uninstalled (with many
errors). then deleted the root directory before trying the 1.45 setup.
System is using Windows 2000 Professional

Ooops missed some details, changing install location (local/internet) and
setup location make no difference.

This is what I would expect.  The uninstall does not remove information
from the registry, unfortunately.  That will come eventually.

I should have made that clear.  Sorry.

used it to do setup -u and it performed flawlessly, except for the
apparently expected behavior that my /, /usr/bin, and /usr/lib mounts
switched from text to binary

if it's necessary for setup to switch these mounts while it does its
thing, would it be possible for it to switch them back when it's
finished?

attached is the setup.log from my update

thanks,

-John

Chris,

I gave it a shot on a Win95 Laptop that I already had B20 installed on. 
Used the download from the Internet Option and then installed to an empty 
directory instead of replacing the B20 so I got the new (or what I 
believe to be new) Directory structure.  Seemed to install and work like 
a champ.  Since I was pretty new to it with B20 and am still new to it, I 
am really still checking it out and learning but setup seemed to go just 
fine.

Worked really fine.
Tried an general update via the Internet (into an already full directory) and a local update for a single package.
Except for the installation of the intetutils all worked fine, since it extracted the older inetutils.1.3.2.tar.gz over inetutils.1.3.2-2.tar.gz. After deleting the old archive I redone a local setup for this package only and it worked well.

I've uploaded a new version of setup.exe to the 'latest' directory.
This version should correct the problem with updating cygwin.

It also has an improved single-page display of mirror sites, implemented
by DJ, along with a slight tweak from me (setup was never supposed to
have displayed the site names as URLs).

If you have the opportunity to try this version out, I would appreciate
knowing if it "does the right thing" in various scenarios, like updating
ash in a directory which already contained the old version of ash or
updating cygwin either in an empty directory or in a directory which
already contains a version of cygwin.

I would appreciate "it works" or "it doesn't work" (sigh) reports and if
you are motivated to provide this please provide the details of your
setup.  A description of the setup options you chose and a 'dir' of the
directory where you ran setup would be appreciated.
