[emulab-admins] cygwin package repository

[Wonjun, Choi]

I am following the manual of windows image creation.

N.B.: If your target node can't directly access the Utah Emulab site
(mirror.emulab.net and www.emulab.net) via http, you will need to copy
the entire Cygwin package repository kept there to somewhere that the
node can access. Adjust the paths in the above 'basecmds-phase2.af'
command sequence file as well. Do not try to use an arbitrary Cygwin
mirror!

I have no idea how to modify the sequence file.
http://mirror.emulab.net/cygwin and http://www.emulab.net/cygwin are
broken.
and also I cannot use the arbitrary Cygwin mirror.

This is fixed now. Sorry about that. Note that
"http://www.emulab.net/cygwin" has never been a valid URL. Not sure
where you saw that.

This seems to be broken again -  http://mirror.emulab.net/cygwin gives a 403 error.

Hi,

The Emulab mirror server very recently died on us. I'll find a new
home for Emulab's cygwin repository in the next day or so.

Has there been any progress on this? Or is the appropriate software available elsewhere? Judging from the names of the Cygwin packages, it sounds like there's a custom version of openssh, but are the others all standard?

Sorry, this fell off my radar. Try it now.

And yes, the openssh package is the only custom one. This tree is the
"frozen" version of the packages that are known to work with the
Emulab client-side on Windows 7. If you use different versions, YMMV,
and we won't provide any assistance with problems.

At some point I will freshen things up as there are undoubtedly a
zillion security issues with this crop of old packages.

Hello, how did you solve this problem? I always get something missing when I install from a local source.
