Hi, I've been setting up a package server that does not have direct internet connectivity. Regardless of what I tried, I was unable to keep it from attempting to contact cygwin.com to retrieve the mirror list. Upon inspection I found that the URL for the mirror list appears to be hardcoded into the .rc file. I suppose there are good reasons for that in the usual case but I needed to be able to override it. Follows is a simple hack to allow a '--mirror-list' option which allows one to specify where to pick up the mirror list. I believe it might be useful to others. If there is a method of achieving this otherwise [or a reason why it's stupid :-)] I would appreciate a heads-up.
