info@skl.me ff29e0f3f4 Handle the x86/x86_64 split when downloading setup.ini
Cygwin recently introduced an x86_64 version and so all the mirrors
now have x86 or x86_64 in their paths, depending on which version
you've installed.

The only change required is when the setup file is fetched.

The setup file itself contains the paths prefixed with either
x86 or x86_64

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 " to install packages
  • "apt-cyg remove " to remove packages
  • "apt-cyg update" to update setup.ini
  • "apt-cyg show" to show installed packages
  • "apt-cyg find <pattern(s)>" to find packages matching patterns
  • "apt-cyg describe <pattern(s)>" to describe packages matching patterns
  • "apt-cyg packageof " 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
