Hi, i have read that beginning this month Cygwin wants to drop support for Windows XP. Though the home page and FAQ entry 12 do not talk about this. Are they out of date or is WinXP still supported?
Although there are better OSes now, WinXP is still a good OS. Especially for virtual machines, because of its low memory foot print. Only just 220 MiB for the OS! So while i feel it's not fair to beg you to go through all the complexities of still supporting it, i want to ask: - If there is no support anymore for Win XP (SP3), is there a reposi- tory around, where one can download the last version of Cygwin that supported WinXP (SP3)? - If not, how can i do it by myself? Will i have to create a mirror and not update it? Or would i have to download the current version somehow? Thank you very much for the great work. Cygwin makes Windows complete if you ask me.
