The GNU Hello program CATEGORY="Devel" SUMMARY="An example Cygport package based on GNU Hello" DESCRIPTION="The GNU Hello program produces a familiar, friendly greeting. It allows non-programmers to use a classic computer science tool which would otherwise be unavailable to them.
Seriously, though: this is an example of doing a basic Cygwin Cygport package. It is the Cygwin version of the GNU Project’s “Hello, world!” program (which is itself an example for the GNU Project)." I packaged "GNU Hello" for Cygwin as an aid in testing the Cygport Workflow Template posted about in separate threads, and I though I might as well check if there might be any interest in adding it to Cygwin. The Cygport file is available in the following repository: * https://github.com/mesheets/hello.cygport Zip files containing the following: * Archive of the contents of the version control repository at the time of build * x86_64: Main binary package and hint file * x86_64: Source package and hint file * x86: Main binary package and hint file * x86: Source package and hint file …are available along with the build log at the following link: * https://github.com/mesheets/hello.cygport/actions/runs/17056980638 A number of distributions include it, including Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, and openSUSE: * https://repology.org/project/hello/versions (The "Description" in the Cygport file is a riff on Debian's package description.) The upstream project is: * https://www.gnu.org/software/hello/ Thank you, Matthew
