Did the libpnz and zlib show "keep" , a version number, or uninstall? if
they showed a version number, was it greater or less than the one on
your system?
If you look closely I think you'll find that the version number show as
your current is the same as the most recent release. I think the new
setup shows packages with multiple versions available so you can
downgrade if you want.

It's a minor bug (well, misfeature) in setup. If there are multiple
options on the ftp site, it shows you those packages in the partial
listing (that's the full/part button). However, I need to teach it
that if all the other options are "lesser" (i.e. a [prev]) than the
current install, then they don't cause it to show up on the short
list.

Actually what appears to have happened is this. I found the downloads
for libpng and zlib in the contrib directory and removed them as well as
the one in latest for make. I then reran setup for the download to the
current directory. All three of the above were shown with their most
recent version number (all greater than my current version). I then
downloaded all three, which setup successfully accomplished and then went
and checked their download site. Libpng and zlib had been downloaded to
contrib and make to latest. I then went and tried to run setup (I have
not installed these 3 downloads as yet) and setup again showed me these 3
updates but make showed as keep and libpng and zlib both showed the most
recent release (which I had just downloaded and were in contrib) and when
I selected next then setup advised download complete. I think something
is slightly crossed in the checks for install and download as far as
contrib vs latest but as I said, I haven't had a chance to check it out.

* Remove "1.1" version designation from shortcuts.
* Ability to detect setup upgrades via setup.ini (once
setup.ini is auto-generated, not yet).
Reminder to those interested in getting involved, the README in
setup's sources (src/winsup/cinstall) has the latest to-do list, which
I've copied here for your convenience. Contact me if you want to work
on something, so I can coordinate who is working on what.
To-Do list:
ini.cc: add field in setup.ini to specify whether package is installed
by default, or not.
install.cc: scan newly installed files for README files, show list to
user, let them read them if they want.
Make the site listbox bigger.
download.cc: add a "total progress" indicator, like the install one.
add a "category" field to setup.ini, let user choose which categories
of packages to install, perhaps with a "custom..." button to lead to
the current chooser.
remember which packages were selected to be skipped, and which prev/curr/exp
option was last selected, and recall them each time the chooser runs.
Add friendly error reporting to simpsock.cc
Add option to download sources also.

fodder for the todo list:
Someone familiar with win32 UI programming can probably fix this in a few
seconds, after scanning chooser.cc and res.rc.
The chooser, for me, currently appears *under* any other window on my win9x
desktop. Since it's not in the task bar, the only way for me to see it is
to minimize all other (bigger) windows first. I had 4 simultaneous
instances of setup running at the same time before I finally realized this.
Note: setup cannot connect to source.redhat.com right now, so I cannot
currently verify my claims.
(I think I remember a discussion about this kind of stuff on the developers
list about 2 months ago.)

DJ,
We may have a problem with the new setup. I just downloaded the new as
opposed to rebuilding from my sources and it told me I had 3 modules that
needed updating. These were libpng, make and zlib. When I tried to tell
it to download it would only download make and then when I would try to
run again it would tell me that the other two still needed doing but it
would not download them. I tried this on three different ftp sites and
the same results. I finally looked at the setup.ini for
ftp.sunsite.utk.edu and the it shows libpng and zlib as being in contrib
and make in latest and this was the only thing I saw that might be a
factor. I have not had a chance to look at the code yet, but thought I
would mention it in case no-one else has as yet.
