Well, it comes from the mirror, same as the packages do, but it isn't generated there, if that's what you mean. > (And this is a serious question: If it comes from the mirror, what > happens if a mirror has setup.ini updated, but not all of the packages > yet?) Setup.ini is autogenerated on cygwin.com every five or ten minutes or so. It will only change /after/ the package changes on cygwin.com, so the mirror will either get the changed package but not the new .ini, or it will get both, but it shouldn't be possible to get the new .ini without the changed package unless it is travelling backwards in time. Which would be a very odd way to run a mirror! cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
