Ok. I finally decided to do the update to 1.7 and in being that I like
to make sure there are no conflicts I dumped my entire 1.5 install that
I had working. While trying to install gcc I get the following error...
Can't open
file://C:\cygwin\packages/http%3a%2f%2fcygwin.elite-systems.org%2f/release-2/gcc/gcc-3.4.4-3.tar.bz2
for reading: Invalid or unsupported tar format.
Just in case I tried another mirror. Afterwards I checked it on the
server. The actual archive is empty. When the 1st level compression is
removed (only a tar file) then I did a hex dump and it looks like it is
just a filler file that contains only hex 00 in it.
Any chance we might be able to fix this error in the installer. I can
tell this method was intentional but the error kinda threw me off. This
was using the latest cygwin 1.7 installer file.
