setup 2.891release candidate - please test

[Jon Turney]

A new setup release candidate is available at:

   https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.891.x86_64.exe (64 bit version)
   https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.891.x86.exe    (32 bit version)

Please test and report any problems here.

This is not the place for setup feature requests.

Changes compared to 2.889:

- 'Use HTTP/FTP Proxy' connection type now uses the WinINet API

As a consequence, the '--user-agent' option now affects this connection 
type as well

- Remove the 'Direct(legacy)' connection type and associated cruft

There have been no reported problems with it's replacement, the 'Direct' 
connection type, since it's introduction in 2.878
(See https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2017-05/msg00053.html)

If this is the currently configured connection type, it will be silently 
migrated to 'Direct'

- Improve file:// URL handling

All well-formed file URLs should now work.  Malformed file URLs we 
previously accepted should also still work.

Thanks to SZAVAI Gyula for these changes.

- Various fixes for regressions in 'Install from Local Directory' mode
   Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-03/msg00027.html

Thanks to Ken Brown for these changes.

- Add support for setup-minimum-version: in setup.ini

- Preliminary support for 'provides:' and 'conflicts': in setup.ini

- Add a --version option

Hi Jon,

 I tested setup-2.891.x86_64 with an install from local directory, and I got the same
result as setup-2.889-12-g1cf567.x86_64.exe, where it installed the additional packages
that I selected, but at the end it gave this message:

Package: _/libfontconfig-common
	fontconfig_dtd.sh exit code 2

 Do you think this may be because I'm installing from an already-downloaded directory and
It may work ok if I repeat the download and install process using the new setup executable, or
would another solution be needed for this, as alluded to in your earlier reply to this same error
message?

Regards,
 Robert

Thanks for testing.

Yes, as I wrote in [1], this isn't more a missing feature and/or missing 
dependency information, than a bug in setup.

Hi Jon,

 Thanks for clarifying that.  For now, would it make sense for me to manually run /etc/postinstall/fontconfig_dtd.sh, or /etc/postinstall/libxml2.sh, or both after setup is complete, or should I just ignore the error?

The packages listed on the "Review and confirm changes" page are still not
alphabetized.

This is a regression because they were before the new dependency library was
added.

As requested, I carried out some testing ...

Q:

Would it be possible to prevent the additional CR from showing up in the log
file? It is visible when the log file is examined by means of vi(m).

It looks like this is just a bug (we are logging the string after it's 
had the line terminators turned into CRLF for putting into a Windows 
text box, but the logging mechanism expects LF line terminators)

Thanks for testing, and thanks for pointing this out.
