Ok.

"To the setup maintainers": it would be nice add "src" option on
setup.exe, to get the source code of package with the command line.

Ok. Thanks for your appointment.

Yes, I'm sorry. I will move the discussion to cygwin-talk list if you
don't mind.

I TOTALLY agree with this.

And I can add: If they have problems with the "AdminCygwin release",
problems not related to the installation environment (msi, install
shortcuts,...), they must install cygwin from setup.exe, and try to
reproduce the problem.

Thanks a lot for the comments.
