Subject: about cygwin setup
Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2001 08:26:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <FBA1382A947CD511B3E100D0B7E8C5F1019A3D@mail.strata> (raw)
I have a comment about setup.exe. How come you don't have an option
to download everything including the source for all the packages that is
being offered? I just want the latest version of everything including the
source. When I first started setup.exe, I thought that I would be able to
switch between stable versions, to current versions to experimental versions
of every package that I can select with one click. Instead, I had to click
30-50 different packages, click 3-5 times on each package to determine if I
want to skip, ver.1, or ver. 1.1, and don't even mention that if I want the
source that I have to click that too - it's becoming too much for a
Microsoft mouse jock! I appreciate all the choices and I do understand that
you have to check dependencies to make sure that everything works together.
There is just sometimes that my lazy ass don't want to have to click much.
Heck, I want an automatic feed if I can help it. Where is the source to
setup.exe so that I can see what it takes to change it? Will it be hard?
Please reply to me since I don't subscribe to the mailing list.
