If you want to use a still-in-testing utility, you could try the "get-cygwin-package" program in /sourceware/infra/bin/ on sourceware.org. Just cut/paste the whole content of a cygwin-apps email (including From: part) into the program's stdin and it will attempt to figure out where to put stuff automatically. It first downloads to a staging area, which should be obvious from the messages displayed. You then have to move or copy the files to the correct location. Eventually I want to make that happen automatically and offer some options for trimming older files. Currently I use either 'mv' or 'cp --link'/rm to move files, depending on whether the package contains subdirectories. cgf
