Does it matter that the top-level setup.ini (that duplicates the MD5 checksums of each package's md5.sum file), does *not* do the same thing for the setup.hint file in each package directory? I assume the duplication is to allow the detection of the race condition (mentioned below). I only noticed while updating my md5cygchk mirror-checker, to detect the case where all package md5.sum files are correct but the top-level setup.ini file is out of sync with the packages below. (This happens if you rsync a mirror site while the site is being updated. It leads to the setup.exe error: "Download Incomplete. Try again?") I'm assuming the lack of a setup.hint line in each package's entry in setup.ini doesn't matter.
