Hmmm, on setup.ini doc says:
install: filename size-in-bytes MD5 sum
... The optional MD5 sum is 32 characters from the set 0-9a-f (case
matters). ...
But, I see too many characters in my setup.ini:
install: x86_64/release/cygwin/cygwin-devel/cygwin-devel-2.2.1-1.tar.xz
273004 be6a2b80a8d06d14a56c1e5b2aabb31698d13aa5328dc7b675be9790a874a3a8b0fda9bdf911001e9a8c79439312c9ec9a8e80fb3bd40304ba459bd1e0850a2e
MD5 is broken, and so Cygwin's setup.ini now uses SHA512 [1]. If you
have an old setup executable, it won't understand the new checksums; try
downloading a new setup executable from the Cygwin homepage [2].
Hope this helps,
Dave.
