setup.ini "depends:"
My group has been using Cygwin setup for some time for internal distribution of our software (layered on top of cygwin). It has worked very well. Thank you all who contributed! We now need version dependencies between some of our package versions, and I can't get it to work. I've read the docs http://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/setup-head.ini.html, Googled, and browsed the mailinglist, but didn't find anything. I've tried the attached file on its own, and appended to an existing .ini file, same results. The attached setup.ini file describes three packages, A, B, and C, where A and B have a "1.1.1" and "2.2.2" versions. I want version 1.1.1 of A to require 1.1.1 of B and similarly for A&B versions 2.2.2. I'm expecting that when I select version 1.1.1 of A, setup will change B's version to 1.1.1, but I don't get that behavior. In fact, I can see no effect of my "depends:" entries at all. I've tried both our own minimally modified (changed the address of the mirrors.lst) and also a pristine copy of setup.exe version 2.573.2.2. The log file does not show any syntax errors or warnings. Any ideas? ------------(Continue reading)setup.ini------------------------- # This file is automatically generated.
