I need a simple standard (and script friendly) means of determining what
is and is not installed under cygwin.
(effectively, I need to write a script to verify that certain cygwin
tools are, or not already installed).
Option 1:
Parse the output of 'cygcheck -s'
doable... but might change.
Option 2
Parse the content of /etc/setup/installed.db
(this format seems quite easy... I don't know what the 3rd column in
the file is for)
Question:
Which method is the *PREFERED* method that the Cygwin maintainers
suggest?
Is there some documentation with respect to this?
Thanks.
--Duane.
