Let me describe the things in my case and the things I've done in more detail: 1- If I use the setup.exe to install the cygwin directly from a remote mirror, it will take me more time to do this thing. Furthermore, due to the poor quality of my internet connection speed, the installation process mabe be interrupted. 2- In light of the actual situation of my case, I write some bash scripts to extract the partial content of the _source_ field in the setup.ini file, than I incombinate it with a cygwin mirror to get the real url addresses list for all of the cygwin packages like this: ------------------ #! /bin/sh # This script. use to generate a download script. for cygwin ! # # Usage : ./cyg_scratch.sh setup.ini DEFAULT_SETUP_INI=setup.ini BASE_MIRROR_SITE=http://cygwin.internet.bs/ ## If the setup.ini specified ? if [ -z $1 ] ; then SETUP_INI=$DEFAULT_SETUP_INI else SETUP_INI=$1 fi ## If the SETUP_INI exists ? if [ ! -f $SETUP_INI ] ; then echo "$SETUP_INI does not exists !" exit 0 fi ## Scratch the package file names in the setup.ini for fname in `gawk '/^install:|^source:/ {print $2}' $SETUP_INI` do echo $BASE_MIRROR_SITE$fname # wget -P `dirname $fname` $BASE_MIRROR_SITE$fname ## You can change to any statements to download the file you want. # `dirname $fname` : the directory prefix # done ------------------ 3- Based on the above script, I'll get all of the cygwin's packges list into a file, say, file.lst files. But considering that the duplicate issues I've posted here, I must then delete the duplicate lines in this file firstly in order for the furer use of it to build my own repository. 4- Then I use other multi-thread downloading tool to load the file.lst in order to obtain all of the packages quickly and safely. 5- Once the above step completed successfully, I then the other script to re-put these packages into the right directories as they are like this: --------------------- #!/bin/sh if [ $# -ne 1 ] then cat << EOF Usage: `basename $0` Path/to/packages/of/cygwin Path/to/packages/of/cygwin: Is the path of the Cygwin's packages downloaded by multithread tools, such as thunder. An example: `basename $0` /cygdrive/e/OS_and_Manage/cygwin/downoaded EOF exit 1 fi DOWNLOAD_DIR=$1 chmod +r ./files.lst if [ -f ./move-packages.lst ];then rm -f ./move-packages.lst; fi cp ./files.lst ./move-packages.lst sed -i 's/^.*\/release\///g' ./move-packages.lst if [ -f ./move-packages.lst.temp ];then rm -f ./move-packages.lst.temp; fi sort -k2n ./move-packages.lst | uniq >> ./move-packages.lst.temp mv -f ./move-packages.lst.temp ./move-packages.lst FILELIST=`cat move-packages.lst` for thefile in $FILELIST; do PACKAGE_DIR="release/"`dirname $thefile` mkdir -p $PACKAGE_DIR chmod +rw $DOWNLOAD_DIR"/"`basename $thefile` cp -f $DOWNLOAD_DIR"/"`basename $thefile` $PACKAGE_DIR done ---------------------- These are the case of mine. -- .: Hongyi Zhao [ hongyi.zhao AT gmail.com ] Free as in Freedom :. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
