Hello,
thank you very much for your reply and the tip.
I will try to use the [PATCH package] notation in the future.
However, I used [ITA] into the subject and not [ITP].
Perhaps I had understood wrong, but according to this page:
https://cygwin.com/packaging-contributors-guide.html
the [ITA] acronym can be used to provide for "Updating or adopting an
orphaned package", as the title says.
Perhaps the description into the above paragraph should be splitted in
"Adopting an orphaned package" and "Updating an existing package".
However, that's not a problem, at least for me, I can use the most
suitable text for the purpose ;)
Hmm... and I thought I doubled checked that. I'll try with my glasses on
next time :)
I see what you mean about the existing wording. I think that's meant to
be an inclusive-or, though. I'll try to adjust it to make things clearer.
I finally found the time to rephrase the wording on that page
slightly, in an attempt to make it clearer that "ITA" signals "intent to
adopt" and doesn't apply more generally.
I hope that all makes sense now. Going forward, please don't use that
tag unless that's your intent.
Thanks!
