Hi Jon,
Saw your mail on the Cygwin mailing list:
The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:
* dialog-1.3-4.20220117
* ncurses-6.3-1.20220416
* tack-1.09-1.20210619
Note: I'm updating these orphaned packages only because they are long
overdue an update. If anybody wants to take over maintainership, they
are more than welcome. (ncurses in particular is an important package,
with many packages depending on it).
What exactly is involved in maintainership? Is there a dedicated
(cygwin.com) page that gives a thorough outline?
I think https://cygwin.com/packaging-contributors-guide.html#submitting
tries to answer that.
If that's insufficiently thorough for you, feel free to ask questions on
the cygwin list.
Brian Inglis has adopted ncurses [1], but there are plenty of other
packages which could do with some TLC [2]...
