Did that wind up being true? I see no reason to think otherwise. 64*bit address space is much leaner on the subject. However, the very process of rebasing the applications has nothing to do with platform specs. Apps are built on different machines, and their address space may collide, when they meet on one target system. 64-bit platform just offer more space, meaning that more applications can be installed that rely on POSIX address space semantics. Still, you should only install what you are actually using. > I've got some in-house tools that some of our developers want to use > on Cygwin, and I've been thinking about the best way to maintain > remote installations. If I use some kind of scripted > deployment/update, do I actually need to keep everything rebased? setup.exe offer all the tools you need for automatic installation. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Monday, August 3, 2015 22:12:38 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
