I've been noticing all this email about slow startup and I'm excited by the inclusion of domain accounts using /etc/nsswitch.conf, etc. I downloaded a newer version of Cygwin a few weeks ago (I'm seeing 1.7.34) and I experienced the slowdown myself. Unfortunately I'm too busy to actively participate but it looks like some good progress has been made. Should I update or is everything still in snapshots?Fixes are in snapshots, as well as test releases (currently 1.7.35-0.4) which can be installed with setup*.exe.Hmmm... https://cygwin.com/faq-nochunks.html#faq.setup.snapshots says: You cannot use Cygwin Setup to install a snapshot.Hmmm... maybe you should try to read Yaakov's entire sentence? CorinnaIt is not clear from Yaakov's sentence that the phrase "which can be installed with setup*.exe" applied to test releases, snapshots or both.So why didn't you just look for the test release in setup then? I don't see how complaining about the exact wording of a mail trying to be helpful(!) does improve your situation.
Chill man! First off I wasn't complaining - I was simply pointing outSecondly, why didn't I just install from a test release? Because like most of us here I have a real job and occasionally fires happen which I need to drop everything else and help put out. I've never installed a test release and though I was about to look into it, emergencies cropped up, alright?
