The recent updates
tcl-8.6.6-1 ; tcl-tix-8.4.3-3 ; tcl-tk-8.6.6-1
have induced two links
/lib/tcl8.6/tclConfig.sh -> ../tclConfig.sh
/lib/tk8.6/tkConfig.sh -> ../tkConfig.sh
that lead nowhere. Is there a fix?
Thank you.

Usually dependencies are identified automatically and found and installed. Is

Never seen this before: I updated Cygwin about 5 hours ago using setup.ini
with timestamp 1485762241 downloaded from
ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/sourceware.org/pub/cygwin/x86/setup*ini*
Just interrogated the same site again. The timestamp is 1485760326.
Perplexing.

usefully, since the intention is to build a local mirror and then maybe do
something useful with it - it would pull down the *src files, which are a
pain in setup, requiring individual ticking of many many checkboxes. But: I
tried wget, an
XP exactly what was done for 95/98: petrify the last relevant sources
along with .ini and .exe, re-label conveniently and obviously, and upload to
mirrors.
Could this not still be done? Sure, continuing usage of XP carries its own
risks, but that's a quite different issue.

27;ve no idea what space a full install requires: fwiw my installation
including some extras under /home/ and
/usr/local/ takes 5G on a hard drive and the identical setup just 1.2G on a
stick. Even including TeX, it's tiny.

I realise the fundamental problem might reside outside Ghostscript and outside
Cygwin,
but for the moment I am after a f
n,
and remains consistent +/- 1 second within and between machines. More detective
work required, I guess. And any "Me Too"s very gratefully received.
