Steven Penny ec36e46faf Change default cache location 
apt-get uses /var/cache to store downloaded files

http://askubuntu.com/q/178806/where-do-packages-installed-with-apt-get-stored

This makes sense with Cygwin as well because Cygwin already has a /var/cache
which is almost empty to start, compared to /setup which does not exist outside
of apt-cyg.

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
