Subject: Re: cygwin setup program questions
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2014 18:27:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <COL125-W358623852AA66801D1ACFACD8F0@phx.gbl> (raw)
just to check my understanding of the setup program, latest version 2.852 (64 bit);
the options are install / re-install / un-install / default
my understanding is as follows;
choosing "install" creates a new installation of the selected cygwin components
choosing "re-install" uninstalls the selected cygwin components, then creates a new installation
choosing "un-install" uninstalls the selected cygwin components
choosing "default" updates the selected cygwin components
so if I wish to update my local installation to the latest release, I would choose "default", as per the following screen capture;

the "keep" / "cur" / "exp" radio buttons; changes what the "Default" means: keep the installed packages, update to whatever the current version is or update to whatever the "experimental" or test version is. (thanks Achim)
