Permalinks for versioned Cygwin setup.exe files

Permalinks for versioned Cygwin setup.exe files

[Thomas Deinhamer]

Hi there,

are there official permalinks for the setup.exe
file to download a specific version of Cygwin?

For example http://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64-1.7.25.exe

Thanks!

No.  "setup*.exe" installs the current version if you "Install
from Intranet".

setup.exe is independent from the Cygwin DLL. It has its own version
number. The Cygwin DLL tends to be updated more often than setup.exe,
so there isn't a one-to-one relationship between them. When a new
Cygwin DLL is released, any setup.exe can ve used to download it.
