Hi Jon,
one think that I noted recently is that setup is not storing the
"provides:" information on the installation.
Noted specially with perl module
perl_base "provides: perl5_032"
perl-gdal "depends2: .. perl5_032, perl_base"
So now, when I use my internal server for test/update, setup proposes to
uninstall perl-gdal as no package provides perl5_032 and a lot of time
I missed to note and overwrite the proposal.
This might not happen if you have *both* a cygwin mirror and your
internal package server selected as download sites.
It is a bit annoying, can you put in the TODO list ?
Yes, we should generally store all the information from setup.ini for a
package when it's installed, but we don't currently (and do some
contortions to make up for that lack).
Adding this is non-trivial because the current installed.db format is
not adequate for that task.
