I try to keep [1] accurate and up-to-date, but the 'specification' is really "what setup accepts" :( Currently, the ordering requirements are: 1) The version to be installed when test versions are selected (the highest test, unless one is explicitly specified in override.hint) is the last [test] section 2) [curr] is first But since both these things are to work around historical setup limitations, I don't think they merit mention in [1], and might not be the case in a future when we no longer care about setup versions old enough to need them.

Thanks for pointing this out. This is due to a 'bug', which caused incorrect ordering of test versions lower than curr. That should be fixed now, but please let me know if you notice any other problems. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
