That's because the version number of cygwin itself barely begins to define an actual fixed configuration of the whole Cygwin environment you'll be installing: that's _one_ package whose version number has been nailed down, but _hundreds_ of others left totally floating. The only practical way of defining an installation of which it can even make sense to call it "approved" is to host a fixed mirror repository that's controlled by whoever does the approving, inside the organization that requires said approval. -- 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
