OK, doing it that way works. But if I add setup.ini alongside setup.xz and
setup.xz.sig, then setup complains about not finding setup.ini.sig.
Also, having to point setup at "mirror" is a major change from the way local
installs used to work. I have the following structure:
download directory
http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin%2f/
http...
http...
mirror
and I have always pointed setup at "download directory" for a local install. In
the past, this would then pick up the packages from all the http directories as
well as from "mirror". Was it a deliberate change that this no longer works?
This change is probably what's behind the problem the others in this thread have
reported.
