Yes, I've asked Jerome for a rebuild (after trying myself; I gave up).

Thanks. I know about that page; but I'm not sure about the status of
all individual items; notably the absolute silly reversed-patch
requirement. I've seen some discussion, but no conclusion or
agreement...
I've tried to stay within the spirit of it, the packages should now be
mostly complient. (Fwiw, I think it's totally silly to reinvent
package management for the umpteenth time. Three years ago, I ported
RPM and (cross-)built all my Cygwin (lilypond-support) packages as
RPMS. RPM didn't catch on, and I built a set of cross-build scripts
from the .spec shell-snippets. But now discussions on cygwin-apps
mention 'RPM-like' behaviour and layout. Sigh.)
Jan.
