Cool. A couple observations: HTTP/Proxy support - if you select HTTP/Proxy (as opposed to "direct" or "use IE5 settings"), but forget to enter a proxy server, I get a crash (Dr. Watson) under NT4. Don't know if this is a new problem, but it's the first time I noticed it.
The "Installation Successful" screen at the end - have you considered making that dialog box look the same as the rest of the wizard? Now that all other windows look similar, this one seems a tad bit out of place... For User download site URLs, will they be listed separately (or distinctly in any way) from the "standard" URLs? It would be nice to have an obvious way to see which URLs in the list are because I entered them, and which are the cygwin standard sites (subject to change without notice, blah blah). I'd imagine either two separate "sections" within the one long list, or perhaps two separate listboxes, both of which can have multiple selections. Also, once the User URLs persist, will there be any way to store a Comment with each one? Depending on how obvious the URL is, it may be hard to remember which URL maps to which custom packages I use... Thanks for the peek at the future (look good so far!), and thanks for all your hard work, --Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Gary R. Van Sickle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 31, 2001 9:54 AM To: Cygwin-Apps Subject: New setup build for people's perusal I'm too exhausted to f%&# around with CRLFs, indents that don't, CVS and sometimes Y, ChangeLog nits, etc etc etc, but since I've got a script to upload new setup builds to my web site automatically I figured I'd do so to show off some of my latest changes. To wit: - The most noticeable change is the size and look of the wizard. It's now 99.44% compliant with MS's "Backward Compatible Wizard 97" specs, which basically means it's a lot bigger than what we've had before, looks a lot more like a lot of other installers and wizards floating around (and unfortunately InstallShield, but you gotta take the good with the horrific I guess), and has a bit more expositional text, complete with two different fonts. That big white rectangle is supposed to be a bitmap, but the Cygwin resource compiler was choking on it so I just put in a big white rectangle. Other choices are black rectangles and grey rectangles. Yep, three different not-even-colors. Incredible. - "Add user URL" has been consolidated into the Site selection page and now works as intended (sites get added to the URL list and you can then download from them). Eventually there'll be a "Remove", but the added URLs currently don't persist across instantiations so the lack of that functionality is less of a problem than you'd think. - Some other, minor stuff. EXE and sources are here: http://home.att.net/~g.r.vansickle/cygwin/setup/. For evaluation purposes only. Not to be used as a flotation device. I'm going to bed now so I can get good and loaded tonight. Merry New Year's Eve Day, every one! -- Gary R. Van Sickle Brewer. Patriot.
