RE: how to upgrade cygwin?

Just run the setup program again, it will download any upgrades needed;
that is the default. You can also choose new programs! In which case
setup will do the upgrade and the new installations.

Subject: how to upgrade cygwin?

I installed cygwin about 6 months ago and I now wish to download the
latest
version. However, I can't figure out how to use Setup to download only
those versions of components that are newer than my installation.

Does Setup figure this out by itself?


Thanks!

Sure does.  By default it will upgrade anything that you had installed 
before, if any new versions are available (which I can assure you, there
are).  If you want to see what setup will upgrade, click "View" until it 
reads "Partial" next to it.  The chooser window will list the packages it
will upgrade for you.
