Hi folks,
Once again been looking over commonly used outdated packages I use
frequently which need upgraded and picked another few of Eric
Blake's I would like to request to co-maintain and upgrade as they
are a few years old.
Attn: Eric Blake - advice, comments, concurrence or objections to my
co-maintaining the packages for bison dash grep gzip m4 readline sed?
added Eric in CC
BCC?
I assume the previous answer from Eric is also valid here
so I added Brian as co-maintainer
Thanks Marco
I will push each package's updated .cygport to init each package's
git-cygwin-package repo, on the playground branch, so builds can be
reviewed, and any feedback or suggestions given, as these packages'
functioning are fairly core and some are Base packages required in all
Cygwin installations.
You can always deploy them as test to receive more feedback from user
I am currently thinking developer oriented packages bison m4 sed could
be released as updates and pervasive higher impact packages dash grep
gzip readline as test initially.
Opinions please?
