New version of GLM package?

[Carlo B.]

Hello,
perhaps, if copying the files by hand is too heavy as another user
said, it is possible to use version 0.9.9.5, as I had written here:

https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-August/245981.html

it is not the latest version, but it is surely much newer than 0.9.7:
you just need to change version number and remove the patch now
useless from glm.cygport.

Sincerely.
