Subject: New version of setup - prerelease available
Date: Wed, 01 May 2002 04:33:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <FC169E059D1A0442A04C40F86D9BA7600C5F6B@itdomain003.itdomain.net.au> (raw)
I've uploaded a new version of setup.exe, and source, to
http://www.cygwin.com/setup-snapshots/setup-md5-20020501.exe and
http://www.cygwin.com/setup-snapshots/setup-md5-20020501-src.tar.bz2.
New features:
* Allows source only packages.
* Checks md5 sums if present in setup.ini
* NEVER redownloads a file. - 'Redownload' has been removed. (3 users
out of several thousand is simply not enough cause to keep a kludge).
* Some bugfixes, including a nasty one which may have caused some
locally downloaded files to *never* be installable.
* The source will build when targeted against cygwin or mingw, and
without all the cygwin sources.
* new command line option -n/--no-shortcuts disables the default
shortcut creation.
This snapshot was made immediately prior to the CVS being branched (The
tag is setup-200205). As such it has the 'White box', but that will be
removed prior to release.
Barring any bug reports in the next day, this will be released.
***** IMPORTANT *****
Enabling the MD5 support on sourceware *will* cause prior versions of
setup to start complaining, although they *should* still work. As such,
you will not be able to downgrade if you don't like the version. Please
help us make it the best ever via your feedback on this pre-release!

Cheers,
Rob
