Automating setup - --no-verify doesn't seem to work

2012-02-24 Thread Andrew DeFaria
I'm trying to automate the setup of cygwin and I'm running setup.exe 
with many additional options. All in all it's working fairly nicely but 
the --no-verify doesn't seem to work. The help says that --no-verify is 
Don't verify setup.ini signatures yet when I run it I see a lot of 
Checking MD5 for package. Isn't there an option to turn off this MD5 
checking?

  No, those are actually two separate things.  The --no-verify option means
that setup.exe will accept any setup.ini file with any values for the md5sums
for packages, not just the official version; it doesn't stop the md5sums from
being checked, just means that a custom mirror can supply its own versions of
packages with their own md5sums, but they always get checked no matter what.
