My previous response notwithstanding, if you (Igor) do intend to take over maintainership of the generic build script, please feel free to go ahead and do it - I'll spend the time on something else (I've received a request to ITP libsegv, which currently fails two of four testsuite tests, and will look into it; I've also received a request to add a couple of POSIX system calls to Cygwin (for which I'd have to print, sign and send the copyright waiver, which is on my TODO list for next week) and I have a draft design for pluggable fhandlers, based on what fhandlers were like before cgf changed them for 1.5.6.. (I haven't checked out the current version from CVS yet to adapt my design).
I really do intend to spend a month's time on this project (including the update of the documentation) and I also do intend to make sure I can continue working on Cygwin-related work when I start looking for a paid job again.. rlc On Wed, Jan 21, 2004 at 02:58:01PM -0500, Igor Pechtchanski wrote: > On Wed, 21 Jan 2004, Christopher Faylor wrote: > > > On Wed, Jan 21, 2004 at 02:43:00PM -0500, Igor Pechtchanski wrote: > > >Does <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-01/msg00409.html> count as > > >(temporarily) passing the baton? > > > > Yes.
