Hi Mikhail,

which are not required by any other installed packages (that is package

Developers usually have many lib*-devel packages installed on their system,
these packages and others are required only as build dependencies so I
think this script will be useful primarily for ordinary users who
experiment with software and want to keep their Cygwin installation clean.
They will be able to check the list of installed packages for unneeded ones.
I would like to propose this script as a Cygwin package if you appreciate
it. The name of the script can be changed according to Cygwin policy on the
use of cyg- prefix for such a type of programs.

I like the idea, but your script doesn't work as expected:
$ ./cygcheck-leaves -v

No such directory `pub/cygwin/x86_64-cygwin'.
That should be x86_64, not x86_64-cygwin. The reason is that HOSTTYPE
has been already set by tcsh, and tcsh has another idea of that
variable than bash.
There's also the problem that, even under bash, the HOSTTYPE for 32 bit
is i686, but the directory on sourceware is called x86.
I guess what you want is something along the lines of
targetdir=$(uname -m)
[ ${targetdir} = i686 ] machine='x86'
setup_bz2_url=ftp://sourceware.org/pub/cygwin/${targetdir}/setup.bz2;
Thanks for the comment. I've forgotten to test the script on 32-bit Windows.
Now it uses a bash-specific variable to determine the CPU type and should work
OK.
Also after some time of using I've completely rewritten it having added new
functionality and renamed it to 'cygcheck-dep'.
