Yes it is reproducible. The local dir is on a samba share and looks like:
$ ls -l //polgara/private/software/windows/cygwin
drwxr-xr-x 1 Administ None 0 Jan 12 05:04 contrib
drwxr-xr-x 1 Administ None 0 Jan 16 23:44 latest
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Administ None 2543725 Jan 19 23:13 setup-new.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Administ None 218112 Nov 29 05:44 setup.exe
-rw-r--r-- 1 Administ None 52399 Jan 20 23:01 setup.ini
-rw-r--r-- 1 Administ None 335 Jan 20 20:19 setup.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 Administ None 335 Jan 20 20:19 setup.log.full
setup-new.exe is the one from CVS. setup.exe is the one from the webpage.
Note that if I remove setup.ini/log/full and run setup-new in "install
from internet" mode, the new setup does NOT recreate .ini/log/full and
I'm left with an .ini-less local dir (but it WILL download and parse
setup.ini from the internet, and download/install the chosen packages.
BUT, I have NO idea where it put them -- e.g. cygwin-1.3.8-1.tar.bz2 did
NOT get saved into latest/cygwin/ even though it WAS successfully installed.
However, the good news is that if I run setup-new in "install from local
dir" mode, with this ini-less directory, setup-new.ini will successfully
parse the local latest and contrib directories and present me with lots
of packages in the misc group -- so at least that works.
Hmmm...I note that setup-new is appending stuff to /setup.log and
rewriting /setup.log.full -- that is, it doesn't write this info into
//polgara/private/.... (No, there is no /setup.ini and there is no
latest/contrib tree under /)
