Hi,

it just came to my attention that cygwin.com recently change there setup.exe and added a security feature. The prc-tools mirror doesn't provide the necessary .sig file. In http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2008-08/msg00001.html there is a solution: add the -X flag to the current setup.exe and it will also read from the prc-tools mirror:

2) Tell your users to supply the new -X (--no-verify) command-line flag when using setup.exe to download from your mirror. This can be added into the command-line invocation in a Windows shortcut, for convenience.

you might read more about in my blog: http://www.metaviewsoft.de/wordpress

If you might already know about, then forgive me.

Henk

Henk, thanks for the reminder ;-).
I have updated the Cygwin page http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/install/cygwin.html on the prc-tools site.
Let me know if something more is needed.

Hi Ton,

sounds ok. But still would be better to sign the index file once.

Regards
Henk
