Greetings, I am running Cygwin 1.7.9(0.237/5/3) on top of Windows NT 6.1 (2008 R2).
I have tried "extending" my cygwin package installation from the command line, in order to install the vim package. As I have a package mirror in the "%SystemDrive%\cygwin\release" directory, I ran : "%SystemDrive%\cygwin\setup.exe -q -R %SystemDrive%\cygwin -l %SystemDrive%\cygwin\release -L -P vim" I was expecting that this would install the package named "vim" on my cygwin installation. What actually happened is that the installer selected *all* available packages and started installing them. I had to interrupt it, and deselect those numerous packages by hand. This looks like an important problem to me. Currently, I have not found a way to add a package to my Cygwin installation over the command line. This leaves me somehow stuck, as I have multiple installations where I need to install vim. Installing them through the GUI is an option that I would rather avoid, if I can. Please correct me if I have made mistakes or misunderstood setup.exe options. Please keep me in Cc: of any answer, as I am no member of the mailing list.
