With the talk of a /etc/setuprc file and the email below on cygwin@, I thought I'd suggest a 'hold' option for the setup.exe wishlist. There are certain packages (like postgresql in this case) that some users *never* want to upgrade as long as the old version keeps working. (The 'hold' term is borrowed from apt.)
This is just a suggestion for the long-term wishlist. No demands. :) "g�nter_strubinsky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: cygwin archive?
