Second, the bug is only present on trunk, not on the release branch.



Release branch? Is that the setup-200205 branch? You mean there's three
years-worth of development that isn't getting released? Including all your
latest work?

No, try the _most recent_ release branch.


Hey, then the documentation is a bit inaccurate:

http://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/setup.html

"To build setup in the same way that the net distribution's binaries are
built, configure setup on a Cygwin machine with the following command:"

Hey, it doesn't say anything about how you have to check out a branch!

The instructions accurately describe the way in which the build is done.... but not what is built! :-)


Hmm. Perhaps an extra paragraph is in order.

Max.
