end of this listing includes many items listed as
"Skip". For example, x2x, Xaw3d, mkcfm, and proxymngr
to name a few.
- Attempt to toggle the "Skip" to determine what the
package size is and whether or not it is a binary or
source, then setup.exe crashes.
Sorry for the garbage in the last post, resubmitting
using standard ascii characters for the tree view ...
Upon further testing, I found that this issue only
occurs when there are multiple local repository folders
within the same local source tree
("--local-package-dir" to setup). That is, even to the
point where only one is populated with package files
and the same version of setup.ini exists in all of
them. For example, the following structure will produce
the problem.
==================================
CYGWIN\1.7.16-1
| setup.exe
|
|---http%3a%2f%2fcygwin.mirrors.pair.com%2f
| | setup.ini
| |
| +---release
| +---aalib
| | +---libaa1
| | libaa1-1.4rc5-10.tar.bz2
v v
v v (snipped)

| +---_update-info-dir
| _update-info-dir-01074-1.tar.bz2
|
+---_http%3a%2f%2fcygwin.mirrors.pair.com%2f
setup.ini
==================================
However, if setup.ini is deleted from the secondary
repositories, the problem does not manifest.
Is this is a bug? Or is setup only designed to allow
only one local repository folder?
Kind regards,
Ken
