Sad to admit, but I have not updated Cygwin in a very long time.

It takes a very long (more than an hour) time to update Cygwin due to the amount of items installed. I have not had the luxury of nor running Cygwin processes in that update time.

I have been wondering if an A/B directory approach may help.

Run from Cygwin.A, update Cygwin.B, stop processes and switch A and B.

Thoughts?

I know this does not address the I have 60+ minty running, but this approach can be done while rebooting.

-Jason
