If someone wants a small setup change, the following is begging: 1) Alter the mirror site selection GUI to allow multiple selection. 2) Alter the "other" site selection to add a new mirror site to the presented list, and have that selected _in addition to_ the present selection. 3) Save the collection of selected mirrors (as opposed to the single site saved now). 4) Read the collection in correctly, and still read in a single mirror correctly.
I'm approaching completion of multiple-mirror handling and merging code for parsing and downloading, leaving the GUI to last, so there is little room for overlap. If you want to do this, it shouldn't be too hard, just drop a note to the list that you will do it. (Please only volunteer if your timeframe is within-a-week). The point of this effort is to alleviate some of the "I tried mirror after mirror" complaints, and to allow a _merged_ view of two discreete distribution points. The ini parsing code is smart enough to throw away the prev/curr/test labels for older setup.ini's, but still make use of the presence of a given file from that site for an available download. I.e. the main cygwin site, and, for example, an emacs site that has a compatible setup.ini. Or that could be a test version of some package included in the main cygwin... Rob
