As I mentioned in the cygwin mailing list: I'm withdrawing from the project.
I'm sending a separate note here with information about the cygwin-apps part of this decision. The upset perl script lives in ~cygwin/setup. This is also a git repository. When you push to it, it updates the active version of upset so be careful. The companion Makefile which runs upset is also in this repository/directory. Scripts for keeping cygwin alive: /sourceware/infra/bin/check-cygwin-mirrors Keeps the mirror list alive, creates the mirrors web page, and mirrors list file. Check cygwin-admin crontab file for how it is run. Someone should change the crontab to have it send email to them. It used to notify me and I temporarily just changed it to sourcemas...@sourceware.org. /sourceware/infra/bin/cygssh Adds a new user when fed "SSH key for upload access" mail. I've been running this script as root. I don't remember why now. Presumably it can be run as the just-created cygwin-admin user. If this actually does need root you'll need to coordinate with overseers. If I missed something look in /sourceware/infra/bin or in the cygwin-admin crontab. I'd be happy to receive well wishes or answer questions about my decision in private email (me period cgf period cx) but please don't send me questions asking how to do something on sourceware.org or within cygwin itself. I'd like to make this a clean break. So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye. cgf
