- Bcc:
Hi!
In the standard install cygwin-setup installs libraries which no program in
the basic install needs:
libncurses5
libncurses6
libreadline4
for all of them newer versions exist, and are in the standard install. Why
install older versions by default (if there is a dependency, cygwin-setup
would solve it)? Why not put the older versions from base to libs?
I think base install means shell plus essential tools, plus all dependencies
(libraries).
Also by default
gdbm
libgdbm
libgdbm-devel
libgdbm3
libgdbm4
are being installed. Is gdbm really an essential tool? Why 2 library
versions? Why a devel-package in the standard install?
And is there really a need for dependency of the standard install of 3
different versions of libintl? (libintl1 libintl2 libintl3)
Robert.
