Hi all, I'm interested in being the package maintainer for figlet. The latest version is 2.2 and was released in 1996 (and so I can't realistically see it being updated again). I have already compiled the source and created a tar.bz2 of the binaries/docs/etc and I've created what I /think/ is a

Sorry. I should've identified the package in the original email. The one I had planned on supporting was http://www.gnu.org/gnulist/production/whois.html. It's always seemed to work well for me. I wasn't aware the bw.org version, though. Any good reason to pick that one versus the gnu packag

Just took a look at the bw.org version and realised that it's perl based. I'd really rather support one that can be compiled. Without significant reason otherwise, I'll stick with the gnu package. Mark > -Original Message- > From: Gerrit P. Haase [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Frida

No reliance on perl. Easier to use on stripped down cygwin installations. I'd think that would be a benefit in the long run. I like perl, but I'd think the compiled version would be preferred. I also thought the mkpasswd inclusion was odd. I just ripped it out of the source and said bye-bye.

Going back to dig and host, I'm guessing that the maintainer would need to actually be a maintainer for the whole bind package? Am I right in assuming that having bind as a cygwin package would provide libresolv functionality, or would more be required. BTW, I can get bind 9.2 to compile with so

ok. Next question. Can we shamelessly steal code from bind for inclusion in cygwin? I'm not familiar with its licensing, but the copyright notice looks like it gives full permission to use their code as we see fit. Can I get an amen from someone who knows what they're talking about here? And
