When checking the md5 integrity of an rsync copy of a cygwin mirror,
should I specifically *not* check the integrity of the setup.hint files?
A month or two ago we noticed that libgcrypt's md5.sum file did not
check out against the actual setup.hint file. This is now true of a few
mirror sites w

Thanks Brian, Cori
Cygwin md5sum puts a space then an asterisk in front of filenames, Linux
version puts two spaces.
E.g.:
Linux$ echo | md5sum
68b329da9893e34099c7d8ad5cb9c940 -
Cywgin$ echo | md5sum
68b329da9893e34099c7d8ad5cb9c940 *-
I see "md5sum -c" accepts either two spaces or space plus asterisk.

I'm currently trying to find out why a recent copy of a cygwin mirror
causes the "Download Incomplete. Try again?" error in setup.exe. The
md5 checksums on each file within the download is good (we check them
against the md5.sum file in each package directory). But still we get
the above error.

Does it matter that the top-level setup.ini (that duplicates the MD5
checksums of each package's md5.sum file), does *not* do the same thing
for the setup.hint file in each package directory? I assume the
duplication is to allow the detection of the race condition (mentioned
below).
I only notice

Does setup.exe take care of stopping them before updating them, or do
you mean that topping them must be

Hi
Apologies for not mentioning this years ago, but ...
In vi, if I hold down the shift or the control key and then move through
the file (e.g. repeated CTRL-B or SHIFT-W use), and then hit no fresh
keys for 5 seconds (i.e. just sit there with the CTRL or Shift key
depressed), and then continue p

Great, I'll change my cyginst.bat script.
