setup.exe 2.125.2.10: doesn't show new versions of NOT INSTALLED packages

setup.exe 2.125.2.10: doesn't show new versions of NOT INSTALLED packages

[Lev Serebryakov]

Hello cygwin,

  I have local repository of cygwin packages, which I update with
  setup.exe (``Download from Internet'' option).

  When computer with repository doesn't have installed cygwin,
  everything is Ok: on each setup.exe execution I could see new
  packages or new versions of old packages.

  But when computer with repository have some cygwin utilities
  (installed via ``Install from Local directory''), setup.exe DOESN'T
  SHOW new packages and versions of packages, whcih I have not
  installed!

  I could switch setup to full mode, and I'll see 'Skip' on every
  not-installed package! But I want to _DOWNLOAD_, and don't want to
  _SKIP_ anything. I want to _SKIP_ whan I'm installing, and now I'm
  in _DOWNLOADING_ mode!

  I suppose, it's a bug.

You have to change every single package you want to 
download from skip to the version you want. It is 
a known "bug" in the current installer - but it's also a  
step toward a much better setup.exe so stay tuned.
Btw - you can fetch setup.exe sources from the 
the cygwin CVS repository or take a snapshot and try
to compile it for yourself. However, note that
setup.exe built from sources is not supported.

Btw there were a lot of discussions on this
list about this problem so you could easily find 
the solution by just checking the mailing list
archive.
