Hi Ken
I am a qemu developer at Red Hat. The "official" qemu Windows build
uses cygwin, and the glib version there is quite old.
I saw you have made some effort to update the package
(https://www.cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages/?p=git/cygwin-packages/glib2.0.git;a=search;h=refs/heads/playground;s=Ken+Brown;st=author)
What's the situation? Is there a bug tracking the issues?
Hi Marc,
The last discussion of this that I can recall started here:
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-apps/2020-May/040105.html
What's needed is for someone to adopt all of the GNOME components and maintain
them. As you'll see in the discussion I cited, I briefly considered updating
only glib2 and a few others, but then I decided that I wasn't willing to take
the responsibility of fixing/updating other components that broke as a result of
this. So I pushed what I had done and left it there.
It would be great if someone would step up and take over, but I'm not in a
position to do that myself.
Ken
