Can you clarify a bit about the problem that this patch solves? And
how you tested that it fixes it?
Hi Jon,
I reported the "problem" in March, here:
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-03/msg00425.html
- Package choosing algorithm ...
However, in a nutshell the story is as follows:
I install from "Local Directory" (i.e. not directly from a mirror;
neither do
I operate a local mirror).
At that point in time I had installed a TEST version of the cygwin pkg.
Then
Corinna launched another TEST version of that package. After
downloading that
new version, I also removed the CURRENT version of that pkg (yes,
nobody does
that, except me).
... in order not to create any confusion, I might clarify:
... I removed the current version of the pkg in my repository (disk) --
removed
the tarball, not the pkg from the system (Cygwin).
Regards,
Henri
