does not handle multiple mirrors #19

Open s7726 opened 10 years ago

s7726 commented 10 years ago

I normally use a regular cygwin mirror as well as a cygports mirror. apt-cyg just looks at the first mirror listed as the last mirror, when my configuration in fact has two. This can cause a failure to find packages that are in whatever happens to not be the first mirror.

Please add support for multiple "last mirror"s

It would be nice to have cygports also.

+1 for cygports, definitely! @svnpenn, after that's implemented I'd love to include apt-cyg as requested in thasmo/portableapps.cygwin#2.

+1 because it completely breaks support for cygports, thus rendering it nigh-useless when used with cygports (or local mirrors that may have gone offline).

What is the status of multiply sources support?

I alter between with:

$ apt-cyg mirror ftp://ftp.cygwinports.org/pub/cygwinports
$ apt-cyg update
$ apt-cyg install php

and:

$ apt-cyg mirror http://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
$ apt-cyg install gcc

It possible to add shell aliases for apt-cyg mirror but it somewhat inconvenient even in that case...
