I am as usual dogfooding these, including rerunning the builds and
checks after local installs on both arches, but would appreciate any
advice about whether any or all of these should be test releases (e.g.
readline) before upgrading stable releases (given some recent issues I
caused) or other comments or suggestions.
These builds have all been tested in the git-cygwin-package playground
repo; see:
https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/jobs.cgi?id=3148..3151,3154-3156
commit links show the package and log links show the results.
I assume the previous answer from Eric is also valid here
so I added Brian as co-maintainer
I would like to offer to co-maintain patchutils with Eric, as
maintenance restarted and a new release was available last year.
