You can manually inspect the setup.ini file downloaded to see details like this. Info for each package starts on a line "@ packagename". There may be several versions listed for each package, optionally preceeded by a "[prev]" or "[test]" line. The packages you mention don't have a current version before the [prev] or [test]. -- 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/
