Hi all,
I was wondering if there exists a snapshot of the Cygwin repos at a time
when Windows XP was still supported?
Thanks,
Hamish

No guarantee, but try these
(from ftp://www.fruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/2016/08/30/104223 )
https://drive.google.com/file/d/106n5y7W7pAPY44qT1V5dh1jTBpA6Th1w/view?usp=sharing
setup program:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BEY17yS9cfvWvnkJtuLuIQo85emi02Bl/view?usp=sharing
I have no Idea why I renamed setup.

(re-sending cos accidentally sent off list)
Cheers!
I'm uploading a snapshot of the repos I made on October 15th to
Archive.org because I remembered reference to old cygwin versions and
repos being lost. Perhaps if I successfully download this I should stick
it up there too, if that's okay with you?
I also note that your setup.exe files are named dont-run-me, what there
any particular reason for that?

Try the Cygwin Time Machine which has a continual collection of all
Cygwin packages:
http://www.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/Cygwin/timemachine.html
There you can find info specifically about the last XP release.
Hope that helps, and good luck!

Fair point(s). I guess I'm bad at searching for things, wouldn't be the
first time :)
