I would like to reinstall a set of packages and automatically install the
source for only those packages.
The packages are currently installed, and I am using a Setup command line
like this:
<setup> -I -P "package1,package2,package3"
The description in --help for -I states "Automatically install source for
every package installed".
It would seem that, in this case, since the named packages are already
installed and up-to-date, the -I option does nothing.
Is my analysis correct?
If so, what is the way to automate source download for a set of packages
that are already installed?
Bill

This is correct.

If a package is listed for both -x and -P, it is reinstalled, so while
not ideal, you might be able to achieve something like what you want
with 'setup -I -x "package1,package2,package3" -P
"package1,package2,package3"'
An option which explicitly just installs the source for a specified
package might be useful.

This does what I need. Thank you!

Agreed. Perhaps this could get added to a new iteration of the setup
tool. But combining -I, -x, and -P are a useful workaround.
Thanks!

It seems that
--local-install -x "package[,...]" -P "package[,...]"
...no longer works to automate source download for packages already
installed...
Is there another workaround? (Or did I miss something obvious?)
Thanks!

(Correction: I meant to write '--local-package-dir', not '--local-install')

Sorry, based on the previous discussion at [1] this seems to be broken
at the moment, due to '-x' being broken.
[1] https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2023-February/252994.html
If you really need this, please try old setup versions from [2]. If you
discover which version it got broken in, and/or work out how to fix it,
please let us know.

Completed testing. The last version where:
--include-source --local-package-dir "path" -x "package[,...]" -P
"package[,...]"
...worked was 2.918. It does not work in 2.919 and later.

I think I had messed up my testing here, and -x was actually working in
isolation, but there was a more complex problem which prevented
reinstalling a package from the command line working.

Thanks very much, this was a big help in tracking down the change which
introduced this problem.
This should be resolved in the setup 2.926 RC.
