Steven Penny a2ca937646 Update checkpackages function
This function doesnt really need to exit, because package loops with no
packages will simply exit the loop immediately. Also by removing the "exit" it
allows to do cool stuff like

apt-cyg

apt-cyg is a command-line installer for Cygwin which cooperates with Cygwin Setup and uses the same repository. The syntax is similar to apt-get. Usage examples:

  • apt-cyg install <package names> to install packages
  • apt-cyg remove <package names> to remove packages
  • apt-cyg update to update setup.ini
  • apt-cyg list [pattern(s)] to list packages matching given pattern. If no pattern is given, list all installed packages.
  • apt-cyg show <pattern(s)> to show packages matching patterns
  • apt-cyg search <commands or files> to locate parent packages

Quick start

apt-cyg is a simple script. Once you have a copy, make it executable:

chmod +x /bin/apt-cyg

Optionally place apt-cyg in a bin/ folder on your path.

Then use apt-cyg, for example:

apt-cyg install nano
