I've been asking for months now for updates to lighttpd (security), nano (security, wchar support) and tidy (latest release, split lib packages), with ready-to-use builds in Ports, and still no response.

[ITA] ocaml 3.12.0
Dear Cygwin packagers, It looks like the ocaml package is abandoned: the current version (OCaml 3.08.1) dates back to 2006, and the listed maintainer is Igor Pechtchanski (from before he changed his name). Unless it is by design that OCaml is held back to an obsolete version, I would like to volunteer to take over maintainership. I'm one of the main developers of OCaml, and I've been a cygwin user for a few years now. I'm getting tired of reinstalling OCaml by hand on every new cygwin I install... I have read through the Cygwin Package Contributor's Guide (twice). This is the contents of my setup.hint file for the updated package, mostly unchanged from Igor's version: -- sdesc: The Objective Caml compiler and runtime ldesc: Objective Caml is a fast modern type-inferring functional programming language descended from the ML (Meta Language) family. The OCaml compiler is developed at INRIA's project-team Gallium requires: cygwin libncurses7 category: Interpreters Devel -- -- Damien
