Hi Corinna,
A year ago you changed the "package choosing algorithm" ...
https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2015-02/msg00034.html
- [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: setup.exe (Release 2.864) -- by Corinna
Vinschen
Here C. announces the modification of the "package choosing algorithm"
(and the introduction of the "mirror mode")
When I started setup (2.873) and selected "Download without Installing",
it
offered me to download version 2.5.0-0.8 of cygwin (installed:
2.5.0-0.7).
Splendid!
However when I restarted setup and selected "Install from Local
Directory",
it did NOT offer me to install version 2.5.0-0.8 ...
(Meaning, I had to restart setup AGAIN, and force it to install the last
version of cygwin - a bit annoying, as you wrote in [1])
Did your modification only apply to the "Download without Installing"
part
of setup? (i.e. downloading from internet)
(honestly, I do not remember whether or not setup acted consistently in
both
modes after your modification)
Did I miss something?
Regards,
Henri
