This preserves the previous setup.ini, when it is updated. This is useful for a couple of reasons: If something went disastrously wrong, it makes rolling back to a valid setup.ini much easier. It also makes it simple to see what changed when setup.ini got updated. I suppose this file could be stashed somewhere private, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort. > Also, given that we're unlikely to go back to upset, could the > release/!always_ready cookie be removed as well? I take no position on the probability of that event. I've removed the !always_ready files. -- 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
