Subject: setup.exe ==> source directory mess (?)
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Hello. I recently did a completely clean install of
Cygwin on my W2k workstation. My goal was to get the
"maximal" binary+source distribution. This went fine,
except that the source packages were installed directly
into my cygwin "root" directory:

$ cd /
$ ls
autoconf-2.13        gettext-0.10.35  readline-4.1
automake-1.4         grep-2.4.2-1     regex-4.4
bash-2.04            groff-1.11       sbin
bin                  home             setup.log
binutils-20001221-1  inetutils-1.3.2  setup.log.full
bison-1.28-1         jbigkit-1.2      squid-2.4.PRE-STABLE
bzip2-1.0.1          jpeg-6b          src
clear-1.0            less-358-2       tar-1.13.18-3
cpio-2.4.2           lib              tcltk-20001125-1
cvs-1.11.0           libpng-1.0.9     tcsh-6.10.00
..... etc. etc.

Did I do something wrong? I expected the source
packages to be installed under /src or /usr/src --
I don't remember setup.exe asking me to explicitly
choose a location for these packages.

If this is in fact the default behavior, it should be
changed IMHO...tell me if I'm mistaken.

What are the implications if I manually move these
directories into /src or /usr/src -- will my
intstallation get out of sync with some "magic" log
files or registry entries (a common occurrence on
Windows) ?

Thanks,
	Chad Loder

P.S. -- I describe my install process:

First I tried the "Install from Internet" option,
but of course this was quite slow (I think it
established a new FTP session for each package?).

So I then chose the "Download from Internet" option,
selected EVERY package that I could possibly select,
and downloaded it into a "local package directory"
of C:\temp\cyg. Then I re-ran setup.exe and chose
"Install from Local Directory", specifying that
download directory. I chose "C:\cygwin" as my root
directory, and selected every available package.

The install completed without errors, except that
all of these package source directories were dumped
into the root.
