The MSYS2 project keep an up to date archive with files lists for all packages
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/msys2/REPOS/MINGW/x86_64/mingw64.files.tar.gz This file is not very large considering $ gzip -l mingw64.files.tar.gz compressed uncompressed ratio uncompressed_name 982852 9585152 89.7% mingw64.files.tar I was wondering if something like this is possible with Cygwin. Currently if you want to search a file that is not installed you must use cygcheck --package-query which I have noticed can be very slow. I would be happy to help with maintaining a Cygwin archive with file lists for all packages. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
