The upstream fzf package moved from Ruby to Go some time ago. I had

and mark fzf as orphaned.
The existing build still works, and I don't think there's likely to be
any crass security problems or anything like that. But there's no
longer any upstream support, and I clearly don't have the capacity to
properly maintain it solo.
I'm not quite sure what the process is here, but I suspect it's just a
case of someone with the appropriate access making an update to

Anyone know of anyone trying to build Go or Rust on Cygwin?
I looked some time ago on Go.
As it is written in go, you need to go back to the oldest version
written in C and from them forward to the current version.
But looking inside the code/build system I saw a lot of hack and
conditional.
Nothing that looks like a test for functionality, just a lot of
assumption on the system.
It will require a lot of time IMHO, but I am not an expert in compilers
