Setup Program

Setup Program

[Karl M]

Hi All...

Next time anyone is working on Setup.exe...

I usually use Setup.exe (with download from internet) to maintain a local 
copy of the CygWin files and then do a local install to multiple machines. 
This works fine, but I noticed that Setup.exe does not remove old files from 
the local directory when it downloads new updates. If there are several 
changes, I just delete my local directory and re-download, but this is extra 
traffic for the mirror. Perhaps Setup.exe could delete the old files when it 
downloads new ones.

Thanks,

...Karl

Karl, look in the archives..

a) this has been discussed before. Being able to downgrade is very
useful for some users. This isn't a bug, its a feature. :] Well actually
I think its on the list somewhere as a tick box option.
b) Cygwin is really very easy to program: _you_ could work on it.

Setup program

[Karl M]

Hi...

I just used the new setup to download from the internet to my local cygwin 
download directory. I had first deleted all files in this local directory 
before running setup. Setup told me that there was nothing I needed to do. I 
think that setup was looking at my c:\cygwin directory and saw that 
everything was up to date.

But this is wrong...when I am dowmloading from the internet, setup should 
look at the files in the download directory not my install. I download to a 
directory and then install on other machines from there.

So for download from the internet, setup should only look at the packages in 
the download directory.

-------------------------

Also, when I ran the new setup to install from a local directory, it 
displayed the version numbers of the packages, but not the names.

Thanks,

...Karl

Doh!  I meant to change this before releasing setup.exe.  I'll do that right
now.

RE: Setup program

[Bobby McNulty]

I am having problems with setup 2.55
It won't show me where gcc on up (the source code to gcc) is going.
Not a problem, but what if I wanted to recompile gcc 2.95.3-4 for my
machine?

Re: Setup program

[Bobby McNulty]

Here is what happened.
1) I downloaded everything from the distro using 2.55
2) I installed the distro using install from local
directory.
3) missing now is automake.
4) when setting up the source code, it worked fine up
until gcc 2.95.3-4.src.tar.gz garbage ensued.
5) i checked /usr/src. It had all the sources up until
gawk. It never put out gcc 2.95.3-4 sources.

How i got the sources
1) used install from internet.

Looks like Christopher came out with another one.
Pray it works.
(I am trying to track down the bug and report it and
possible solutions. Solution seems to be to make the
scanning portion more stable. its not finding sources
and binary packages. Missing is m4, byacc, diff, time,
and a couple of other packages in the sources. the
above mentioned do not have a number attached to them
and are not being maintained. I was thinking about
becoming the maintainer of these missing ones with
permission of Redhat and Christopher.

Setup Program

[Laurence F. Wood]

After reading the FAQ again I see that the setup program is not capable of
installing everything at once.  However, I would like to email some
suggestions to the microsoft engineer that developed the program.  Could
someone provide his/her email address.

Thanks.

Right here Larry.  Rob Collins is actually the maintainer, and of course many
others have contributed to it.  Of course neither of us work for Microsoft
(didn't you mean to spell that "Micro$oft"?).  In fact, neither of us recieve
any compensation whatsoever from anybody for working on it.  Well, other than
the high praise we get from good folks like you!

> Thanks.

No no, thank you Larry!  I'll be waiting on those suggestions with bated breath!

WTF?  Are you TRYING to be obnoxious?  You do realize that in free 
software circles, calling someone a "microsoft engineer" is a deadly 
insult, right?
