As a long time user of Cygwin and units, both professionally and personally, I noticed a new release of units 2.14 was available but the package is orphaned.
I have been nominally maintaining it anyway, but you're welcome to take it.
I built and installed the new release for myself, and thought I'd like to make it available to the community, so would like to adopt the package units. I've had no problems downloading the prvious source, bumping the cygport version, building, testing, installing, and using the new release.
That is a good start, but:
units.cygport units-2.14-1.hint units-2.14-1.tar.xz units-2.14-1-src.tar.xz units-debuginfo-2.14-1.hint units-debuginfo-2.14-1.tar.xz
This is the build from only one architecture. Each archful package needs to be built for each of x86 (32-bit) and x86_64 (64-bit). Are you set up to build both?
I've read the contributor/maintainer guides but as this would be my first package contribution, I may need some help using calm, etc.
"cygport upload" takes care of this for you. -- Yaakov
