I strongly suspect that compatibility is not requested, as 3.0 is substantial different from 2.1 series. Unfortunately any rebuild take a substantial time, so I will need some time to eventually solve the standard "cyg" prefix issue. > > I forgot two things. > > First a big THANK YOU for taking over the package. > > Second, the octave base package setup.hint file is > missing a dependency > to zlib.
