I also would like to grab this opportunity to (once again) ring the service bell to whoever maintain this package 'joe'. It's my favorite (actually the only) editor in the Unix/Cygwin
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Perhaps it's your only favorite editor but it is not the only editor in the Unix, Linux, or Cygwin environments, in case anyone gets the wrong immression. ;-)
environments, and that's unfortunate to see this package negleted, because this seems to be a simple packaging problem. Also, currently the upstream version is already 3.7 (TWO versions beyond the Cygwin current!). Could all this whining give us "joe'ers" a brand new version of this package? Pretty Please? :)
If this really is just a packaging issue, you may have better luck reporting it to the cygwin-apps list (where packaging issues are on- topic). Jari has responded to things there of-late. Of course, if you're desperate for a newer 'joe' and aren't going to build it yourself, you can take advantage of the version packaged and announced here: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2008-11/msg00001.html> Of course, if you go this route, you can't come back to this list with your "whining" if something doesn't work. Perhaps it's a small price to pay. ;-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
