setup.exe 2.194.2.24 "Download from Internet" misbehaviour

Mon Apr 15 23:53:00 GMT 2002

Using setup.exe v2.194.2.24 to download cygwin modules from the internet,
the following happens:
Settings:
- Local package directory = N:\upload\cygwin (networked drive)
- Connection type: direct
- Download site: ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at
Choosing another download site, the directory mentioned in step 4 below
happens to change to the encoded URL accordingly.
1. Starts download setup.ini
- setup-timestamp: 1018906576
- setup-version: 2.194.2.24
2. Shows up module selection dialog
- O.K.
3. starts downloading selected modules
- O.K.
4. CREATES DIRECTORY "ftp%3a%2f%2fgd.tuwien.ac.at%2fgnu%2fcygwin"
- This seems not to be the programmers intention?
5. creates subdirectory "release", containing the module subdirs
- seems to be O.K.
Q: Is the creation of a site dependent subdirectory holding the modules
intended by design?
