I speak up about this.
I and others have asked for the ability to specify a "group of packages
to install"
The use-case/example is this:
I am a tools maintainer for a group of people.
I want to ensure a "common minimally conforming installation" across
multiple machines.
I want to create a "URL" which I will ensure has all of the required
files.
[ie: A common network drive, an internal/external HTTP site].
I'd like the ability to specify all install options from the command
line, examples: "all users", "bin files", etc ...
Another example would be this:
I produce an "arm cross compile tool chain" and produce a CD ROM
with all the files on it.
So - how can I run cygwin's setup.exe to install all of this stuff?
I would like a "command line tool" that installs the above - with *NO*
menu interaction.
It would be great, if I could also tell the tool "Examine my current
installation and create the above configuration file" this would let me
easily "clone" and/or "compare" an installation.
-Duane.
