Each time I have to reinstall my computer or new incomers arrive in our team, we install cygwin, and each time, we forget to install a package. We can write somewhere useful packages, (i even just did it ^^).
But is there a way, to package cygwin packages, for example a texte file with all useful cygwin packages, that we give as argument setup.exe, or something like that ?
It seems to be possible by using the --packages (-P) parameter for the Cygwin Setup.exe. A nice sample batch script can be found here:
setup.exe ^
--no-shortcuts ^
--quiet-mode ^
--disable-buggy-antivirus ^
--packages ^
aria2,^
atool,^
autoconf,^
automake,^
autossh,^
[...]
Of course compiling a list of your favorite packages would still be needed, which can be done using cygcheck -c.
