Setup.exe bugreport

Setup.exe bugreport

[Sylvain Petreolle]

Hi,

while looking for the new Xfree86 packages in my
local package directory (in my case D:\cyg-install),

I see that packages are saved in a curious directory
since March 22th.

Its name is :
D:\cyg-install\ftp%3a%2f%2fmirrors.rcn.net%2fmirrors%2fsources.redhat.com%2fcygwin

No package appears to be updated in normal directories
like D:\cyg-install\contrib

I always use the net version of setup.exe, i don't
have a local copy.I'm running Cygwin under WinME.

This is not a bug.  You can review the mail list archive if you're interested
in the details of this change.  If the new format bothers you, ignore the 
download directly completely.  It's an implementation detail of setup which 
you don't need to ever inspect.  It may change to your annoyance again in 
the future.  If that thought is disturbing to you, get in the habit now of
ignoring this directory.
