I checked out the FAQ on snapshot installation http://www.cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.setup.snapshots and it looks to be enough pain that I want to stick with setup.exe, if at all possible. (I custom install several extra packages beyond the base installation, but don't want to install all, and I really like how setup.exe has memory of that.) > And, yes, you should follow cygwin or cygwin-announce for update announcements. 1.7.21 came out last week http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2013-07/msg00017.html but I do not see a ctrl-c fix in it. Even better, 1.7.22 just came out yesterday http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2013-07/msg00030.html and I see this tantalizing bug fix: - Fix issue with raise() not causing the process to exit with a signal status. Also only set "dumped core" flag when it's a "kernel" signal. See: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2013-07/msg00251.html That sounds a lot like a fix for the Ctrl-C bug discussed here. I will gladly install 1.7.22 (heck, I will likely deinstall everything and try the 64 bit version) to check out if it fixes the bug if there is an easy way that I can go back to 1.7.18 using setup.exe. I am having a bit of a hard time, however, finding a mirror that has 1.7.18 and which works with setup.exe. Some candidate I tried: http://mirrors.xmission.com/cygwin/release/cygwin/ http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/cygwin/release/cygwin/ http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/index.html#cygwinmirror Unfortunately, every time I try to run setup.exe and add one of the above mirrors I get an error message saying something about "Unable to get setup.ini". If anyone else has seen 1.7.22 fix their Ctrl-C bug, I will take your word for it and try 1.7.22 myself. -- 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
