Greetings, Nellis, Kenneth! > wget -O $name --quiet http://cygwin.com/$name || exit
Do not use wget -O name unless you have no other choice. The construction is essentially equal to wget -O - --quiet http://cygwin.com/$name > "$name" Means, it will never allow -N to work. (When -O given, -N is silently discarded.) > ...but Windows complained about the file format when I tried to launch > it. Then "file" told me... > $ file *.exe > setup-x86_64.exe: gzip compressed data, from Unix > $ > ...so I added suffix .gz and then used (actually) WinZip to unzip > it, and it created a working setup.exe. > So, is this new behavior? Is it to be expected going forward? Not confirming, my installation went smooth, I barely noticed the setup update. (Yes, I'm running it via script too.) -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Monday, June 19, 2017 19:23:55 Sorry for my terrible english... -- 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
