Anyhow, here's another attempt, which unfortunately changes rather more than I
wanted to.  It adds a new page, which is displayed if any script failed, and
reports which packages and scripts failed.

That is great. Please check in (with a ChangeLog of course).


I just gave you the ability to check into cygwin-apps and, if you want to update
the documentation to winsup/doc.

Thanks. I've checked in the changes to cygwin-apps.


I'll have a look at what documentation changes might be needed.

Jon, I just tried this and I'm getting a blank "Postinstall script errors" page. The only two packages that should have been installed were

gcc: C compiler upgrade helper
glib: Gnome C function library (1.2 sources)

(both of which are selected due to a setup.exe bug)

A brief glance at your new code seems to show that this is not intended
behavior.  Do you have any idea why this is happening?

Looks like I managed to break it somewhere along the way. See patch.


Sorry about that.

Nice try, but no, Jon can have it all to himself. ;)

Andy.run(Direction::AWAY, Speed::VERY_HASTILY);

I think my shame at such a terrible mistake means I'll have to decline this honour :-)
