I've placed a new snapshot of setup.exe at http://www.cygwin.com/setup-snapshots.
Any commentary is welcome, with the caveat that duplicates aren't interesting - no not even to guage the popularity or impact of a problem. Triage occurs after inital analysis. Firstly, the known bugs: * The chooser can be a little funny updating. * There is still no trivial way to 'install everything'. Now for the list of recently accomplished things. * Downloading will continue past errors, presenting the errors after all downloads have been attempted - this aids unattended downloading. * Multiple mirrors can be used in parallel. (use shift-click or control-click). * Dependencies will only trigger installation of a package - they won't force an upgrade of an installed package. (with the caveat that in the future versioned dependencies may force upgrades). * Skip shows up for non installed packages, keep for installed packages (consistently). * The order of package versions when clicking the spin control is more consistent (selected radio button (prev/curr/test)->source only (only if the package is installed) ->oldest version...(skip version of radio button)...-> newest version->uninstall->keep/skip->start again. The behaviour of the src tickbox is more predicatable as well. * Gary R Van Sickle has contributed an overhaul of the windowing code that should fix the front/bottom annoyance with setup. Hopefully this setup will become the released version in the near future - so lets hear what you think!
