hi there, i know it may be a newbie question, but how can i update easily packages in cygwin. i tried the setup-tool, but it downloads everytime the whole bunch of packages and seems to install the whole stuff again, either i had already installed cygwin completly. i just want to add one package.
It shouldn't. If you are choosing the correct/same install root-directory and package download directory, which are the defaults in the respective fields, it should only attempt to download updated packages, unless you choose otherwise.
Also, don't change the mirrors you use for no reason.
