Hi Jon,

do you know what could cause this warning ?

Thanks for pointing this out.

This was caused by a build error in the recently uploaded xauth-1.1.1-1.

I've rebuilt xauth correctly, and uploaded it as xauth-1.1.1-2, which 
should fix this.

Forgive me if this is a FAQ (I tried searching), but is there a standard 
timeframe in between when a package update is announced on the list and 
when it's actually available on the mirrors?

I tried every https mirror, but none of them have the new versions. I've 
been having trouble with the X server and xwin-xdg-menu failing to start 
up properly (in a semi-non-repeatable way), so I was hoping to get this 
update now.

I tried upgrading setup-x86_64.exe to 2.915, in case some fix was needed 
to get the new packages to show up, but like the last several versions 
of the setup programs (2.909 is the last one I remember working), it 
doesn't work on my Windows 8.1 system (with all available MS updates).  
Running the installer from Explorer results in nothing happening 
whatsoever.

Running setup from bash as Administrator results in:

    Starting cygwin install, version 2.915
    User has backup/restore rights
    User has symlink creation right
    *** --symlink-type lnk is not implemented

I've had my CYGWIN environment variable set to "wincmdln 
winsymlinks:lnk" for ages, and it's always worked before.  I /highly/ 
prefer the lnk implementation of symlinks, since it allows me to make 
them from non-Admin shells, etc.

Oh, and forgot to mention I took a look at 
https://cygwin.com/mirrors-report.html, and it claims (by omission) that 
most of the mirrors I tried are supposed to be complete and up-to-date, 
so... I'm not sure what that page is even indicating.

We have no direct control over how often mirrors choose to sync.

However, as is mentioned at the bottom of 
https://cygwin.com/mirrors.html, we drop a mirror from that list if it 
isn't up to date for more than 24 hours.

(In actual fact, that unduly punishes some mirrors which sync 
indirectly, so the actual criteria for keeping a mirror on that page is 
something which approximates "not more than 24 hours out of date for 
more than 24 hours").

So, mirrors having updated packages within 24 hours is reasonable as a 
general expectation.  Most mirrors are significantly faster, but a few 
may be a bit slower.

Oops!  That's not how that's intended to work, at all. Thanks for 
reporting that.

I've uploaded setup 2.916 with an attempted fix.

   https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.916.x86_64.exe
   https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.916.x86.exe

Please try that, and see if it improves things for you?

That page is only updated periodically (every 3 hours currently), so if 
the 'Last updated' time on that page is prior to the change of interest, 
that page has no information you can use to determine if a mirror has 
that change or not.

it depends on the specific mirror sync timing.
Some are doing every hour, but others every day or more

In this moment however I see on my preferred server that
21.1.3-1 is marked as test.

Jon,
is it intentional ?

Check for outdated mirrors at:

	https://cygwin.com/mirrors-report.html

Compare the modified time stamp on your local mirror for:

	$mirror/x86_64/setup.{bz2,ini,xz,zst}

to that on the master for:

{ftp,http,https}://cygwin.com/pub/cygwin/x86{,64}/setup.{bz2,ini,xz,zst}

or just the sha512.sum at each (e.g. using curl -I).

I see 21.1.3-1 as current and 21.1.0-1 as test on my local mirror

	$mirror/x86_64/setup.{bz2,ini,xz,zst}

and also the master

{ftp,http,https}://cygwin.com/pub/cygwin/x86{,64}/setup.{bz2,ini,xz,zst}

Cool.  Thanks for that magic formula.

Thank you.  I was able to update to the latest X packages this evening.  
Still having trouble with them not working properly on my Windows 8.1 
systems, but it may be related to firewalling and VPN split-tunneling 
not working as I'd expect.  I'll continue to troubleshoot, and hopefully 
someone can look at the setup programs' current failure to work on Win8 
and/or with winsymlinks:lnk set.
