I've found a serious bug in that pre-release. It gets the md5 sums in
setup.ini wrong (it parses the low nibble into the high nibbles, and
vice versa. Oops).
I'm building a new snapshot now, it'll be on the website within the
hour.

Sounds like there is a memory leak or somesuch. With the MD5 sums in
ini's I'll be able to do some proper testing myself now.
How many packages where you installing?
Which ones?

This is the section from setup.log from the successful install for version
2.194.2.25, the beta version would have been trying to install the same
files.

Yes, can you build setup from the -src tarball, and run it under gdb? If
it crashes then, you can type\
'bt full'
and send me or the list the output.

Are you 100% positive you have no other setup.ini's? Perhaps an old one
in the local dir root?

Yes - using Find (the Windows version) on all my hard disks found
quite a few setup.ini's of course, but only one was a Cygwin one,
and this is the right one, in the right place, with the right
timestamp. Curious.

Aha! Found it - I had renamed an old setup.ini with this timestamp
to setup.ini.sav (in the local directory). I don't think setup.exe
should be taking any notice of a file with this name though!

After a little experimentation, it appears that it doesn't
matter what the file is called - if there's any file in the top
level of the local directory with the format of a setup.ini
file, it gets used for determining the timestamp to put
in /etc/setup/timestamp. But its contents thankfully don't
take precedence over the real setup.ini in the http%%... subdir.
I know we're supposed to view the local dir as a black box,
and not go mucking with it, so maybe this isn't strictly a
bug - but it's rather surprising behaviour all the same.

Hmm, strange. Anyway, clicking on the OK button there should get setup
to continue.

Yes - it did, and the install worked fine. After this my
/etc/setup/timestamp now contains 1016041807, and setup no longer
shows the warning re out-of-date setup.ini. But where is it getting
this old stamp from?

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.

This snapshot was made immediately prior to the CVS being branched (The

removed prior to release.

Enabling the MD5 support on sourceware *will* cause prior versions of

The removal of redownload is exactly what I hoped. Running in download
mode twice in succession with the same (default) selections caused no
packages to download the second time.
When I try "install from local directory" and select the defaults
(ie install everything which has been updated) setup gets as far as
showing the install progress box, then throws up a box informing me
that setup.ini is older than the one I used last time I installed
Cygwin. I can only find one Cygwin setup.ini file on my system,
and it's the one setup had just downloaded (from programming.ccp14.ac.uk)
with identification:
setup-timestamp: 1020183008
setup-version: 2.194.2.24
My cygwin\etc\setup\timestamp contains 1020183008, which looks ok to me.

When I run this new version (2.216) and select "Install from Local
Directory", as soon as setup gets to the "Progress" window (before
listing any available packages), the CPU jumps up over 50% while
the memory for that process grows to about 150 MB. Eventually,
after about a minute or so, the setup window/process disappears.
I haven't had any problems with the current release or previous
releases of setup.exe, and this new version seems to work when I
select "Install from Internet". My local directory is a mirror
of mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/cygwin, which I have been using
for several months and is updated every night. I am running W2K,
and I have confirmed this behavior on two systems so far, one is
W2K Professional (workstation) and one is W2K Server.
Let me know if you need me to provide any more information....
Alan

I've just tried to use this...
As usual, I did a 'Download from Internet' followed by an 'Install from
Local Drive'.
The download worked like a dream.
The install didn't.
For the install it got as far as the page which says:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Process
This page displays the progress of the download or installation.
Installing...
(PKG)
(FILE)
Package [ bar graph... ]
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The package chooser window is not opened. Nothing is displayed after the
(PKG) or (FILE) and the bar graph does not move. The process eats memory
until it gets up to ~168MB and then ends. Nothing is installed. setup.log
and setup.log.full are not modified (the last things logged were the
downloads of the files from the previous run).
Version 2.194.2.25 happily installed the packages which your beta had
downloaded.
