Hi all,
I tried to use the mkcygwget script to download a cygwin mirror for
offline installation. The mkcygwget script generates a script named
cygwget to do the heavy lifting of retreiving files. However, I got a
"argument list too long" exception from wget, since the generated script
has all the files to be downloaded appended to a single wget command.
I've made a slight modification to the mkcygwget script so that the
generated cygwget contains a separate wget command for each file to be
downloaded. This solved the problem I was having....thought I'd post
the modified script to this mailing list in case anyone else was interested.
