apg-cyg update fails because cygwin has updated their repository format about apt-cyg

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For now, you can edit the following file and append your architecture

[1] /etc/setup/last-mirror
[2] modify first line to look like this:

http://cygwin.mirrorcatalogs.com/x86

or whatever the mirror/architecture you are using is

http://cygwin.mirrorcatalogs.com/x86_64

Here is my diff file:

I have tested it on Windows 7 64-bit with a x86 installation and an x86_64 
installation.  I'm sure the team will want to use a more proper statement for 
detecting the architecture.

The previous patch only worked for update... now I ran it to download files and 
saw that the code would not work when connecting to a repository and actually 
downloading the file,

so here is the updated diff file that works in its entirety:

I can confirm that the diff file does indeed solve the problem.

I obtain the same problem.
Cygwin now have x86 and x86_64 versions.
apt-cyg script should gain some corrects.
My way to sole it.

I just discovered that apt-cyg does not work for archives of type ".xz"

This happened when I was installing make, for some reason it chose to download 
the slightly smaller .xz file instead of the usual .bz file.  It would report 
the error but it would still continue and say that installation was successful. 
 Anyway, I am working on another patch, but for the super-anxious, just modify 
your apt-cyg script file with the following:


 echo "Unpacking..."
    if [ ${file: -3} == ".xz" ]
    then
        echo "File is of type .xz"
        tar -xJf $file -C /
    else
        cat $file | bunzip2 | tar > "/etc/setup/$pkg.lst" xvf - -C /
        gzip -f "/etc/setup/$pkg.lst"
    fi

We should fork this project... I'll look into making something new on github

I forked it and applied my 2 patches.  Feel free to join the project and to 
contribute yours/better modifications.

just tested the patch from Alex, adding x86 in the path solved the problem. we 
shall update the trunk with this so that new people won't have the same issue.

I ran into the same issue just yesterday.  The hash algorithm has changed in 
Cygwin's setup.ini, looks like they've upgraded from MD5 to SHA512.

Since Google Code is about to die off, I went ahead and made a fix in my fork:
 * https://github.com/digitallamb/apt-cyg

Give it a try and let me know if you have issues.
