For reference I'm using the *current* setup.exe, just downloaded in the last half hour to verify that nothing has changed. I use setup in a two step process... first run it on my fileserver to download the most current images to the local directory, then mount that from other machines and run setup to install from "local" directory. The download part is what I'm trying to understand.... let's take ash for example... in my local directory I have ash-20000823 and it came up showing 20001012, so clearly it's trying to tel me that there is a new build of ash available. Neither prev, curr, or exp views change the line for ash. My options for ash are "skip" and 20001012. now let's compare that to inet-utils... locally I have inetutils-1.3.2-6 and it shows me that in the "Current" column and then there is an arrow pointing to the "New" column which shows 1.3.2-7 (curr or exp views; prev view shows keep). My options are keep, 1.3.2-7, and Uninstall. Now let's compare bash... locally it's 2.04-1, "New" is 2.04-3 in curr or exp view, skip in prev view. My options for bash are 2.04-3 and skip. In all three cases the local version is the one installed on the system, and the only one in the install/latest/ directories. So what is special about these three that they each have different representations? (actually they're representatives... there are a couple in each category) Why do some have a Current version listed and others don't? Why does one have an arrow? why do some have keep, and others have uninstall, and some don't? -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
