With a repository of this size, it is inevitable that upstream updates get missed, particularly those that aren't well announced. If you would tell us which packages you are referring to, then I could update them and everyone would benefit. > I assume I'm better off starting with the latest > .cygport file for the app rather than starting from scratch, Good assumption. :-) > but I would rather not clone the entire cygwin-ports git repository.

Each package has its own git repository, listed here: http://cygwin-ports.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb-index.cgi For any given source package, the git repository is usually: git://cygwin-ports.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/cygwin-ports/PACKAGE Yaakov Cygwin Ports ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ uberSVN's rich system and user administration capabilities and model configuration take the hassle out of deploying and managing Subversion and the tools developers use with it.
