I thought I'd squashed this problem in setup.exe. Apparently we need a setup.exe v1.35. Sorry about that. >> A second issue (maybe related to the first?) is that Setup decided to >> start downloading all of the snapshots from my mirror! > >That's a bug. Yep. I thought I'd fixed this too. It's a problem with parsing the directory output that setup.exe gets from its mirrors. If it sees something like ftp://foo.bar.com/pub/cygwin/latest/.. it sometimes does the wrong thing. I'll try to fix this in setup 1.35. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
