I decided to look at cygwin web server statistics for setup download to have some basic data. The web server log are stored for 12 weeks and I see that the number of download per week of setup-x86_64.exe are relative stable. cygwin-combined_log-20180204.gz 94749 cygwin-combined_log-20180211.gz 92740 cygwin-combined_log-20180218.gz 82597 cygwin-combined_log-20180225.gz 92420 cygwin-combined_log-20180304.gz 101957 cygwin-combined_log-20180311.gz 98670 cygwin-combined_log-20180318.gz 97539 cygwin-combined_log-20180325.gz 98178 cygwin-combined_log-20180401.gz 96515 cygwin-combined_log-20180408.gz 90326 cygwin-combined_log-20180415.gz 95458 cygwin-combined_log-20180422.gz 92738 with an average 94490 download per week. For the 32bit version the number instead are around a quarter of the 64bit one. cygwin-combined_log-20180204.gz 23567 cygwin-combined_log-20180211.gz 31473 cygwin-combined_log-20180218.gz 35067 cygwin-combined_log-20180225.gz 27618 cygwin-combined_log-20180304.gz 26236 cygwin-combined_log-20180311.gz 31383 cygwin-combined_log-20180318.gz 27372 cygwin-combined_log-20180325.gz 23872 cygwin-combined_log-20180401.gz 20486 cygwin-combined_log-20180408.gz 21647 cygwin-combined_log-20180415.gz 21793 cygwin-combined_log-20180422.gz 21563 with an average 26006 download per week. So in total we have around 120 K download per week of the two setup exe's As curiosity the raw data of x86 download were very high in February due to a single Windows 98 in Japan that was downloading 201122 times in a week the setup-x86.exe Regards Marco -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread

(with apologies for replying to such an old thread; I've been trying to do some email catchup) I have often wondered why apt-cyg [1] hasn't been adopted fully by Cygwin as one of the default packages (in fact I'm not sure if there even is an actual cygwin package for apt-cyg), aside from the fact that it's not formally maintained as part of the cygwin ecosystem. Maybe it should be. Although the old setup.exe has its uses, and isn't too bad when you use the command-line flags either, almost always whenever I make a new cygwin install, unless I know immediately what packages I'm going to need, I usually just install the bare minimum I need to get apt-cyg working (usually wget, plus a few other core utilities), and then use apt-cyg from thereon out. In my experience it works really well, and is just as good as having pacman or whatever.

No, actually, it's not nice at all. See https://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/issues/73 and read down to alphapapa's comment.

What about package managers that don't interact with cygwin setup? Why not build `apt-get` et. al. to install to /opt/? Yes I know it would be a system within a system within a system, but it might be worth a shot. This, especially if the "cygwin setup" package manager isn't open source (I thought everything cygwin was, but I guess not). -- David Dombrowsky, Software Engineer davek@6thstreetradio.org | 518-374-3204 https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-dombrowsky-94334415 -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread

If I have experienced those bugs I'm not sure. I think it's possible but I'm also expert enough to usually resolve issues I've encountered on my own. At the most, I think I've had to occasionally run rebaseall after some package installs. I didn't realize its development history was such a hideous mess, especially considering that it's just a few hundred lines of bash script that I could probably rewrite myself. Personally I'd be happy to maintain it, especially if it were installed with Cygwin. Otherwise I'd just be maintaining yet another "unofficial" fork of it. Personally, I don't think a GUI program should be the only interface for installing new packages into cygwin* * modulo caveats such as using it to upgrade cygwin1.dll itself > -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread
