Dave - you are probably making a useful point. With regard to the issue I'm having, though, I'm not using 1.7. And, this was not a fresh install; nor, have I changed my package dir. I did the install a number of months ago, and am trying to update it now. There is a lot of new stuff listed in setup, but when I try to download it, it makes as if to do it, and then downloads nothing at all.
DA. ------------ > Make sure you've run the sed cmd on the previous step as well. That sed command is going to need updating at some point, because newer versions of setup.exe are going to stop using the /etc/setup/last-cache file and start storing all the settings in a single /etc/setup/setup.rc: > $ cat /etc/setup/setup.rc | grep -C6 -i cache > last-cache > E:\downloads\CygDownload-new > last-action > Install > last-mirror > http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/cygwin/ > mirrors-lst > > ad...@ubik ~ > $ I think this behaviour must have gone live in the latest update of setup-1.7.exe on cygwin.com. Right now that would probably only make a difference if you've changed your local package directory, or if it's a fresh install that's never had an /etc/setup/last-cache file, but sooner or later the instructions on the website will need changing. FYI. cheers, DaveK ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
