I'm using Cygwin for several years, it help me very much in my work. There's a tiny issue: after downloaded in several years, the total size of my local setup packages directory had grown up to G bytes, while a fresh setup packages of mine are only <40M bytes. There are many historical setup packages in the local directory, for example, files in bash directory: ... ... ... ... bash-3.2.49-22.tar.bz2 bash-3.2.49-23.tar.bz2 ... ... I wish the local setup directory contains only newest packages so that I can carry small-size packages to upgrade cygwin on servers which have no internet connection. I'm currently delete the old packages manually, it's a little boring and may cause dependency-missing issue. So I wish Cygwin setup.exe/setup-1.7.exe can provide an option like "keep only newest packages in local directory", it will be very helpful :) -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Cygwin-setup.exe%3A-Clean-historical-setup-packages-tp26569064p26569064.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
