Just don't do it wrong: Doctor, it hurts when I leave the timestamp and version lines out of my setup.ini. Then make sure your custom version.in HAS timestamp and version info. Sheesh. (*)Support implies some obligation on our part to make sure that your intended use works. We accept no such obligation -- our obligation is to insure that the cygwin dist itself, as propagated on the mirror system, works with our cygwin setup tool. Period. --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
