Scenario:
A few months ago I used SETUP.EXE to "download from internet" to a local
hard
drive, which I copied to a CD to make it easier to install Cygwin on
workstations.
When I want to update this local disk mirror with the latest packages,
which
option do I choose to download ONLY updated or brand new packages,
skipping
what is unchanged?
Is a "update an existing local mirror" procedure in a FAQ somewhere?
Experiment with "clean_setup.pl" (google)
You need to use it like this:
wget a new setup.ini
clean_setup.pl
wget the files it says are missing
clean_setup.pl # puts the new downloads in the right directories.
