I'm not going to remove anything until this is settled. It's just sad that almost every time we need a package maintainer, it's Yaakov who has to step up. Yaakov is an excellent package maintainer but there's only so much a single person can do and Yaakov already maintains hundreds of packages. If there's anybody here who would like to contribute to this project, please give the idea to maintain a Cygwin package a whirl. Especially taking over maintainership of an orphaned package would be very helpful for the community as a whole. For a start, see http://cygwin.com/setup.html and the "ORPHANED" packages in the text file http://cygwin.com/cygwin-pkg-maint Thanks, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
