Apt got it's start from cyg-apt written by an indenpendent party for
cygwin, e.g. it was never part of the cygwin package ecosystem. It's
been abandoned for a long time, and there are at least two other forks
aside from mine. Since osgeo-setup.exe was forked from cygwin's
setup.exe they've done a major overhaul and added command line
parameters so work on the cyg-apt forks is minimal -- that I'm aware of,
I don't pay much attention anymore.
I've always intended to backport my osgeo changes to cyg-apt, or make
apt not care if it's installing osgeo4w or cygwin, but I don't know when
or if that will happen as I don't use cygwin very much these days.
Do you happen to know where the corresponding
"AptFromScratch" documentation resides?
This is the closest I think:
