Hi Jonathan,
Just wondering ...
While doing some VERY LIMITED testing of Corinna's latest TEST version of
setup.exe, I was FORCED (:-P)
to take a harder look at the "interface" of setup.exe ...
(meaning, normally, I only upgrade ... I never downgrade a package)
Currently, I have version 4.8.3-4 of "gcc" installed ...
Twente (the Cygwin mirror site, from which I retrieve my packages) shows the
following:
gcc 4.8.3-2 25/07/14 (that is, 25th of July, 2014)
-3 17/08/14
-4 15/11/14
gcc 4.9.2-1 03/11/14 (euh? ... well, why not)
Setup allows me to keep or UNinstall 4.8.3-4 (FOUR!), but NOT to retrieve that
version of gcc ...
Surprisingly, it allows me to retrieve version 4.8.3-2 ...
Looking at the latest setup.ini shows me the following for "gcc":
current: 4.9.2-1
previous: 4.8.3-2
As far as I understand, -4 is the "best" release of version 4.8.3-*. Just
wondering ... I would say that
setup.ini SHOULD show -4 as previous. What do say?
Henri
