Hi, Based on suggestions from http://cygwin.com/setup.html, I'm announcing my willingness to be the package maintainer for the w3m browser (http://sourceforge.net/projects/w3m). I haven't found any mention of an existing w3m package in any Cygwin mailing list nor web searches.
I'm a long-time Cygwin user but this would be my first time as package maintainer. Before I proceed any further, I wanted to make sure the license for the GC library won't cause any problems. Overview -- http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/ License -- http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/license.txt Here are preliminary setup.hint's @ w3m sdesc: "A text based Web browser and pager" ldesc: "w3m is a text-based World Wide Web browser with IPv6 support. It features excellent support for tables and frames. It can be used as a standalone file pager, too." curr: version prev: version test: version category: "Text Web" requires: gc ncurses openssl cygwin @ gc sdesc: "A garbage collecting replacement for C malloc or C++ new" ldesc: "The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector can be used as a garbage collecting replacement for C malloc or C++ new. It allows you to allocate memory basically as you normally would, without explicitly deallocating memory that is no longer useful. The collector automatically recycles memory when it determines that it can no longer be otherwise accessed." curr: version prev: version test: version category: "Libs" requires: cygwin All feedback is welcome. Bob
