[snip] > ...you can prune the long list produced by that $() construct way down I’ve written a script to do that automatically. (Attached.) It takes the raw list parsed from installed.db using the scheme above and a copy of the setup.ini file downloaded by setup.exe and removes all “non-root” packages, being those that will be installed indirectly by some other package on that list. It cut my largest local Cygwin installation’s package list down to about a fifth the size spewed out by the command above. Enjoy!
