I'm in the process of deploying cygwin with an OpenSSH that has an OpenSSL-fips built into it. Our cygwin build environment averages around 200MB with gcc-core, perl, mingw-runtime, etc... with all of these uninstalled, the base environment is around 70MB. I need the ability to uninstall packages inside a script to shrink our environment, but the setup.exe is crippled and does not allow for uninstalling packages.
I did find "apt-cyg", and while it does do the uninstall successfully, I find that when I try to use it to install things, that it doesn't always work... And I have seen posts from folks in the past talking about how that it is "unsupported". Is there any chance that the roadmap for cygwin has a commandline package manager, or to expand the capabilities of setup.exe in the future? I think I can "find and delete" what I need to until then, but a package manager type thing would be great... other than "find and delete", are there any other ways to do what I'm needing?
