Re: setup.exe and replacing of in-use files

If the former, then the human who wrote it is WRONG. the package name

There is also a kde-x-1.2 available.. I dunno if both can be useful at
the same time... I am not KDE's cygwin's port author, just a simple user
that got annoyed by that strange 'growing' behaviour to installed
release numbers.
I thought ie were a setup.exe problem, but it wasn't... even if I would
expect setup.exe to do a warning or ignore the version or the such
instead of growing its version install by install... ^_^ that's why I'm
investigating setup.exe's sources, to try to patch a better behaviour,
even if setup.ini file has a wrong format.
From what I see on http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/ I think Ralf
Habacker is the most active person in that workgroup, or at least the
one that does most news in the homepage.
BTW: I filed a bug on KDE-Cygwin's bugtracker in this regard:
