Hi,
Just curious ...
Normally I do NOT use setup-x86_64.exe to "install" (download) a source
code tarball ... I will go directly to the source (i.c. a mirror).
This time I decided to use setup (in order to verify a hypothesis) ...
As usual I execute this procedure in 2 steps:
1. Download without installing
2. Install from Local Directory
(I do not maintain a local mirror)
Step 1 presented no problem.
I got a surprise when I executed step 2: when I selected the source code
tarball, setup informed me ... it was going to install "debuginfo".
I was not surprised to see that intention fail ...
Only after I had modified setup.ini, where I removed the "source:" line
from tar-debuginfo, setup was able to "install" the source code tarball.
A mirror (at least the mirror I use) does not have a source-code tarball
in a *-debuginfo subdirectory.
(to clarify: the "source:" line is present in the "tar" entry as well as
in the "tar-debuginfo" entry of setup.ini -- I removed the one from the
the "tar-debuginfo" entry).
Did I miss anything?
Regards,
Henri

To verify my finding, I repeated the procedure (that is, the I f LD
part).
Using the original version of setup.ini:
- sheet "Full" shows tar and tar-debuginfo
- sheet "Not installed" shows tar-debuginfo
(note: no debuginfo downloaded!)
Apparently I did my clicking on the "Not installed" sheet (where I
normally
do my selection). Yes, that was a mistake of me.
Using a modified setup.ini:
- sheet "Full" now only shows tar ...
- sheet "Not installed" is empty
When I select the source box, the source code tarball is indeed
"installed".
Summary: yes, it is still possible to "install" the source code tarball
using
setup; however, as I have shown above, setup is confused by the
"source:" line
in the *-debuginfo entry.
Regards,
Henri
