Sorry that I did not make it clear. What I mean is those source files and not 
the installed packages.

Just wonder if there's any way being used by cygwin'ers to handle a lot of 
binary sources of different versions after downloading the latest one.

You are making a point from the assumption that leaving old files behind is
a desired/expected behavior.  It isn't.

If you report the old files that are left behind to the cygwin-apps mailing list
then the package maintainer will correct that problem.

Old packages...

[Jason Fu]

Hi there,

I always keep my CYGWIN packages as "current" as possible. But this turns out 
to be a lot of old files left behind/before for me to handle/delete. I really 
wonder if there's any available tactics to handle old files and just keep the 
latest version.

Thanks!
