I'd like to have a feel for how the 64-bit version of Cygwin will impact package maintainers.
So, I'd appreciate some discussion about this. 1) Do you have a 64-bit version of Windows available? 2) If no, would you be willing to install one? 3) Are you willing to download the current 64-bit Cygwin and start porting your stuff, knowing that there are still bugs? 4) Or, would you rather wait for 64-bit to be completely stable before attempting anything? 5) Does the existence of two different architectures make you think that it is time for you to stop offering the package? 6) Would you be willing to have another person doing the 64-bit port for you? 7) Are you ok with a 64-bit alpha release being made available which contains your packages built by someone else? There are probably other considerations that I haven't thought of. Any insights welcome. cgf Answering these questions myself: 1) Yes. 2) N/A 3) Yes. 4) No. 5) No. 6) Definitely not. 7) No.
