@subsection What's the difference between packages in @samp{latest} and @samp{contrib}?
Good question! That very issue has been debated on the
@samp{cygwin-apps} mailing list. Check the list archives if you want to
know more. Start at @file{http://cygwin.com/lists.html}.
But it really doesn't matter, and there is no distinction as far as
@code{setup.exe} is concerned. By default, it will install all packages
from both @code{latest} and @code{contrib} directories.
There is no difference as far as @code{setup.exe} is concerned, and you
should not worry about this either. The distinction is more historical
than practical.
