Every time I run setup to get the latest updates, setup attempts to reinstall vim-minimal - is there a way to make setup ignore vim-minimal?Yes, at least two. 1. Build a proper package and give it a higher version number thanCygwin's own Vim.2. Fake the installation of vim-minimal in /etc/setup/installed.db and give that fake installation some high version number.
--- Both of which are "lying" to the package manager, to get it to NOT install an inferior (from the standpoint of not containing the user-desired modifications/features) package. It should be possible to "LOCK" a package (base or not), to prevent it frombeing removed/updated/installed or changed by setup, no?
