Clone Cygwin packages.

I've come to depend on having a specific set of cygwin packages installed when working on systems.  The simple way to make sure it has what I expect is to install it.

#!/bin/bash curdatestamp=`date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S` filename=clonesys.bat.$curdatestamp echo "setup.exe ^" > $filename echo "--download, ^" >> $filename echo "--site ftp://mirrors.xmission.com/cygwin/ ^" >> $filename echo "--quiet-mode ^" >> $filename echo "--packages ^" >> $filename sed -e '1d' -e 's/ .*$//' -e 's/$/,^/' /etc/setup/installed.db >> $filename

I set this up to run regularly, which is why the filenames are timestamped.

Credit for inspiration to use /etc/setup/installed.db goes to http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-09/msg00079.html

xmission is one of the closest sites, pick the appropriate one for you at http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html
