As the (hopefully) incoming maintaner: yes, I'm very much hoping this
will become the version provided by the setup*.exes. There are still a
few checks I want to run in the name of being sure I'm not making
anything worse, and some other details to iron out, but I am making
progress.
If you (or anyone else) wants to help speed things along, there're a few
tests you can do; I'm planning on doing these but if someone else can
it'll save me the time:
- Install git-cvs and the assorted dependencies mentioned in its
setup.hint, and verify you can clone the Cygwin CVS repository. I've
not managed to do this without hitting errors, but I suspect that's
because I'm using the tool incorrectly.
- Install minimal packages (Base + the dependencies listed in the
setup.hint files) and check that the basic functionality works.
These all need to be done on both x86 and x86_64. Since this is still
an unsupported package, to avoid list spam, please let me know off-list.
I'll summarize anything relevant to the list as appropriate.
(Incidentally, Alexander: please don't include other folks' email
addresses in your replies. This mailing list is archived online and we
don't like feeding spam harvesters.)
