RE: Cygwin installer does not select the packages specified by the -P option

Not even the zip archive can help, because the symlinks are not preserved. Maybe a tar file, but it would be really better to have installer fixed. Is there any option to force the installer to install everything found in the local repository?

Subject: Cygwin installer does not select the packages specified by the -P option

Dear all,

I am trying to prepare an offline installation of Cygwin with a local repository and I am facing the problem with the package selection. The packages specified by the -P command are not selected, so they end up without being installed. I am using the following command:

setup-x86_64.exe -q -L -l %cd%\cygwin-repo -R C:\PGM\cygwin64 -P autoconf,automake,bash-completion,bzip2,ca-certificates,curl,diffutils,emacs,git,git-svn,gnupg2,konsole,mc,openssh,patchutils,perl,python2,python3,rsync,ruby,subversion,sudo,tar,tcsh,tmux,unzip,vim,wget,xinit,xlaunch,xorg-server,xorg-server-common,xorg-server-xorg,xorg-x11-fonts-dpi100,xorg-x11-fonts-dpi75,xorg-x11-fonts-Type1,xorg-x11-fonts-misc,xterm,zip

There is no issue if I select manually the packages. They are installed just fine from the local repository. The problem is that they are not selected at all when the above command is issued. Any workarounds?

Kind regards,
