Since this was the second bug report that I saw about this, I tried to duplicate the problem and succeeded. So, I've put an updated version of setup.exe on http://sourceware.cygnus.com/latest/ . This is just a patched version of setup 1.45. DJ has been working on improving setup recently but this doesn't include any of his changes. This new version of setup should allow you to install regardless of what version of a package it thinks is on your machine. Using "setup -u" will cause the program to notice if there is already a previous version installed and so will avoid installing anything it thinks is the same version or older. To summarize: setup bash - Will install bash from whatever site you choose regardless of the version recorded on your system. setup - (no arguments) Will reinstall the whole cygwin release regardless of the version of installed components on your system. setup -u bash - Will install a version of bash from whatever site you choose if and only if the version of bash on the site seems to be newer than the version on your system (as previously recorded by setup). setup -u - Will install newer versions of any packages on the chosen site which seem to be newer than versions currently on your system (as previously recorded by setup). This is only an interim version of setup. You can expect more improvements from DJ in the coming months. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
