Hi Jonathan,

Just wondering ...

While doing some VERY LIMITED testing of Corinna's latest TEST version of setup.exe, I was FORCED (:-P)
to take a harder look at the "interface" of setup.exe ...

(meaning, normally, I only upgrade ... I never downgrade a package)

Currently, I have version 4.8.3-4 of "gcc" installed ...

Twente (the Cygwin mirror site, from which I retrieve my packages) shows the following:

gcc 4.8.3-2  25/07/14 (that is, 25th of July, 2014)
         -3  17/08/14
         -4  15/11/14

gcc 4.9.2-1  03/11/14 (euh? ... well, why not)

Setup allows me to keep or UNinstall 4.8.3-4 (FOUR!), but NOT to retrieve that version of gcc ...
Surprisingly, it allows me to retrieve version 4.8.3-2 ...

Looking at the latest setup.ini shows me the following for "gcc":

current: 4.9.2-1
previous: 4.8.3-2

As far as I understand, -4 is the "best" release of version 4.8.3-*. Just wondering ... I would say that
setup.ini SHOULD show -4 as previous. What do say?

Henri
