Re: Using Red Hat digital signing on setup.exe (was Re: Cygwin 1.7.14-2 setup.exe v2.772 broken?)

Quite, but the idea of corruption was implicit in that question. A
digital signature would rule that out.

Not in this case, no.  You inferred the wrong thing from the quote
above.  Corinna's suggestion was that the mirror containing the packages
was malformed in some way, not that that 'setup.exe' itself was
somehow corrupted.

What's with the hostility? It's really bad etiquette... ;)
