That's because there are a number of packages where the same source tarball produces multiple binary tarballs. > Who can give me some hints on the > spec of cygwin's setup.ini file? The source code of setup.exe is freely available: http://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/setup.html That provides the definitive reference for how it is parsed. But there is also the genini reference page, http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/package-server.html > > 2- Furthermore, if I want make a local repository based on the > setup.ini file, where should I put these pakcages?

Depends on whether you want to install the binaries or the sources used to generate those binaries. But why not use setup.exe, and let it do the work for you? - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
