Hi Christopher, I've figure out one reason in my first post: Our servers ha= ve NO internet connection, so I'd better to keep a local copy of install packages, so that I can upgrade cygwin on servers by choose "Install from Local Directory" setup type. There's another reason I don't want to talk about in my first post is our f**king government can block some websites via the f**king Great Firewall =E2=95=AD=E2=88=A9=E2=95=AE(=EF=B8=B6=EF=B8=BF=EF=B8=B6)=E2=95=AD=E2=88=A9= =E2=95=AE. The sourceforge.net website had been blocked for a very long time before Olympic 2008 for reason of different political viewpoint of a project owner. Currently youtube.com & facebook.com & blogspot.com & http://python.org/download/ and many other websites are blocked in CN. One more another reason is our internet connection speed is not very fast, especially when I choosed a oversea mirror (There's no official mirror site of Cygwin in CN). That is why I keep install packages in local disk.=20 Christopher Faylor-8 wrote: >=20 > On Tue, Dec 01, 2009 at 04:31:48AM -0800, LiuYan ?????? wrote: >>After I viewed setup.ini, I decide to write a little script to do this. >>Currently, it scans all the sub-directory of cygwin local package >>directory, and delete all the old files which not listed in setup.ini >>or setup-2.ini. >=20 > You didn't respond to my previous observation. >=20 > There is no reason to keep the package files around.
