Thanks, that's nice to hear. : be even better if we had this functionality in some of the cygwin utils, : though, like cygcheck. Any interest in that? ? I'd like it... If there is general interest in them I may attempt to get the scripts added to cygutils. I might write a wrapper around them and add some similar functions. Or did I misunderstand your question? (If you're asking me to duplicate the dependency-tracking logic from ``make'' in another app, I'm not very likely to do that.) : I'm also thinking maybe setup.exe should store the latest known good : setup.ini as /etc/setup/setup.ini or something like that. I think that may be a good idea. It should then however store setup.inis for all selected mirrors, not just the one. A symlink is not a good idea, IMO, as reading a new ini from internet may fail (If you refuse going online (dial-up) setup will empty all inis it attenpts to download.) Also people apparently tend to download into a temp-dir, install and then delete the local files.
