Nov 25, 2009 issue 6 (Simplify installation instructions) reported by kbjorgensen2000 - First it would be nice to either have the instructions on the "project home" page or at least a featured link to the wiki GettingStarted page. Next i think the instructions for the installation could be simplified. How about something like this: First install subversion and wget through the standard cygwin setup program. Then run the following commands: {{{ svn export http://apt-cyg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/apt-cyg /bin/apt-cyg chmod +x /bin/apt-cyg }}} First it would be nice to either have the instructions on the "project home" page or at least a featured link to the wiki GettingStarted page.

This issue has been accepted and marked as an enhancement but it isn't ready to commit to the trunk because the submitted patch does not implement all the requested features.

Sep 15, 2009 issue 3 (apt-cyg should list currently installed version and highest ...) commented on by kevhilton - I received an email about apt-cyg listing currently installed version and highest available version, however it does not. The svn tree seems not to have been updated since receiving this notification, and I only get currently installed version if applying the patch referenced above.

Using apt-cyg version 0.57 on windows xp sp3 with cygwin Sep 09, 2009 issue 4 (Error if apt-cyg is renamed) changed by sjungels - I am accepting this because the suggested change is good practice, but running apt-cyg as apt is not recommended because (1) the command syntax is not not apt-compatible, just apt-inspired, and (2) I believe there is or was another cygwin project named apt which uses a debian-style repository.

Aug 27, 2009 issue 3 (apt-cyg should list currently installed version and highest ...) reported by niederst...@gmail.com - When running apt-cyg find <foo>, the output currently only lists the package names. Having 2 more columns to indicate 1) the currently installed version and 2) the version available according to setup.bz would make it easy to know what's up to date, etc. When running apt-cyg find <foo>, the output currently only lists the package names.

Here's a diff for the latest (r12) that shows the versions of installed packages in both 'show' and 'find', using a pseudo named hash. I'll probably look into adding descriptions / latest versions / etc in further edits. http://fnord.to/cyg-apt-r12.diff Hiya, I've been altering an old version of this.
