Any user level feedback while you're at it? Irrespective of recent threads on cygwin@ I really do appreciate feedback! > It appears that all new downloads, both setup.ini and package files, now go > to source specific subtrees, for example files from > ftp://ftp.mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin are saved in > under > ./ftp%3a%2f%2fmirrors.rcn.net%2fmirrors%2fsources.redhat.com%2fcygwin/. > After setup.ini is downloaded from all candidates, either they are merged or > the newest one is used.

Cached tarballs in /latest and /contrib ARE used in addition to anything in the relevant mirror site subdirs - if found. In install-from-local, all setup.ini's in the subtree are scanned and used. Cached tarballs from /latest and /contrib, and any subtree rooted where a setup.ini is found are used. Rob
