You could also, of course, consider modifying setup to do what you want and then contributing that code back to the community. Then you'd have something which exactly fit your needs and others would also benefit. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

I didn't have an issue with apt-cyg until I tried to run gcc commands. It appeared that there was some permission issues running postinstall scripts, and it seemed to affect the creation of $PATH directories... I just need something solid, and will "Just Work".

command-line package installation
I'm in the process of deploying cygwin with an OpenSSH that has an OpenSSL-fips built into it. Our cygwin build environment averages around 200MB with gcc-core, perl, mingw-runtime, etc... with all of these uninstalled, the base environment is around 70MB. I need the ability to uninstall packages inside a script to shrink our environment, but the setup.exe is crippled and does not allow for uninstalling packages. I did find "apt-cyg", and while it does do the uninstall successfully, I find that when I try to use it to install things, that it doesn't always work... And I have seen posts from folks in the past talking about how that it is "unsupported". Is there any chance that the roadmap for cygwin has a commandline package manager, or to expand the capabilities of setup.exe in the future? I think I can "find and delete" what I need to until then, but a package manager type thing would be great... other than "find and delete", are there any other ways to do what I'm needing?
