I currently maintain separate 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Cygwin. I have separate "Local Package Directory"s for them, but that seems unnecessary since almost everything is maintained separately: The setup binaries have different names and the mirror folders contain different subfolder names (x86 or x86_64). The exceptions are the setup log files.
It would be nice if the setup.log and setup.log.full files would also be named (or placed in different folders) to distinguish between 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Then we could have the two versions of Cygwin share the same Local Package Directory without conflict. Indeed, this is a low-priority item, so not worth arguing about. --Ken Nellis -- 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
