Zero version numbers to clone Cygwin installation


/ Published in: Regular Expression
Save to your folder(s)

A Cygwin installation can be cloned by copying `/etc/setup/installed.db` and zeroing all version numbers, then running the installation utility. The following `sed` script will set the version of most packages to zero. Some non-standard version numbers will not be affected and have to be zeroed by hand.
