Forgive me if this is a FAQ (I tried searching), but is there a
standard timeframe in between when a package update is announced on
the list and when it's actually available on the mirrors?
it depends on the specific mirror sync timing.
Some are doing every hour, but others every day or more
Check for outdated mirrors at:
https://cygwin.com/mirrors-report.html
Compare the modified time stamp on your local mirror for:
$mirror/x86_64/setup.{bz2,ini,xz,zst}
to that on the master for:
{ftp,http,https}://cygwin.com/pub/cygwin/x86{,64}/setup.{bz2,ini,xz,zst}
or just the sha512.sum at each (e.g. using curl -I).
Cool. Thanks for that magic formula.
In this moment however I see on my preferred server that
21.1.3-1 is marked as test.
Jon,
is it intentional ?
I see 21.1.3-1 as current and 21.1.0-1 as test on my local mirror
$mirror/x86_64/setup.{bz2,ini,xz,zst}
and also the master
{ftp,http,https}://cygwin.com/pub/cygwin/x86{,64}/setup.{bz2,ini,xz,zst}
Thank you. I was able to update to the latest X packages this evening.
Still having trouble with them not working properly on my Windows 8.1
systems, but it may be related to firewalling and VPN split-tunneling
not working as I'd expect. I'll continue to troubleshoot, and hopefully
someone can look at the setup programs' current failure to work on Win8
and/or with winsymlinks:lnk set.
