Is the Mercurial package still maintained?

Hi. Upstream is at v5.0.2. The cygwin repo has been at 4.3.2 for almost two years now, missing not only a lot of features but also the security fixes in 4.7.2 and 4.9. Is a new package blocked waiting on other support to be completed? Or is it simply orphaned and waiting for a new maintainer or

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: make-4.1-1

BLUF: either the new make package needs cygltdl-7 as one of its dependencies, or Guile does, so that setup.exe can Do The Right Thing. I updated to make-4.1-1 and the executable immediately broke: $ make --version /usr/bin/make.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared obj

postinstall reboots system; saving settings for reinstall?

Hi. Earlier today I was updating my cygwin installation (WinXP, cygwin 1.7 as of a couple weeks ago) when the computer suddenly rebooted. Because there were so other things running at the time I assumed it was just bad mojo, but after doing things slow and methodical-like, I narrowed it down to a
