Ok, snapshots work thusly:
I have a symlink in my home dir called setup-snapshots, which is a link
to the actual dir for http://www.cygwin.com/setup-snapshots.
To make a snapshot, I use:
make snapshot cygwinsite=rbcollins at cygwin dot com
voila.
So, for you to get snapshot access, ask Chris for
a) scp upload access
b) write access to the setup-snapshots directory.
c) said symlink in your home dir.
(If you have ssh shell access, you have a, and can make c yourself.
I'm happy for you to have setup-snapshot upload access.
Cheers,
Rob
