Hi List,
I have a question, is there a way to clone-install Cygwin?
Like I have installed whatever packages I selected on some PC, then maintained
that installation for a while,
doing upgrades etc. Now I need to install the exact same set on another PC.
Can I pull up a list and use it
in a sort of a batch install with setup.exe? I want to avoid to dumb-copy the
entire C:\cygwin tree from one PC to another,
rather use a semi-automatic install procedure from scratch, if possible, using
the list of packages that I need.
Thanks for all the insights you can provide.
Cheers,
Anton
attached my solution to re-install or duplicate the packages of an
existing installation.
$ ./cyg-reinstall.sh
Usage : cyg-reinstall.sh [ -A | -I | -f filelist ]
create cyg-reinstall-{ARC}.bat from
options
-A : All packages as reported by cygcheck
-I : incomplete packages as reported by cygcheck
-f : packages in filelist (one per row)
$ ./cyg-reinstall.sh -A
and the batch file is ready
$ ls -s cyg-reinstall-x86_64.bat
32K cyg-reinstall-x86_64.bat
$ head -c 100 cyg-reinstall-x86_64.bat
setup-x86_64.exe -P
