I'd like to offer to adopt maintenance of duplicity (Encrypted

Information from https://duplicity.gitlab.io/ - """The last stable 0.7

0.7.11 from 2017
Updated cygport:

You need to define BUILD_REQUIRES and list all Cygwin packages needed to
build this package:
https://cygwin.github.io/cygport/check_funcs_cygpart.html#robo791
Use BUILD_REQUIRES+=" ..." for additional lines of packages.
Updated build:
https://github.com/cz6ace/cygwin-duplicity/releases
See:
https://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/duplicity.git
You can clone the repo for the original files, checkout a playground
branch, commit your changes and patches (and any extra source files),
define the upstream playground branch, and push your changes there,
which will run Scallywag CI under Github Actions (or Appveyor if you
configure that cygport option).
Please note for successful installation the python 2.7 fasteners package
is required, not yet in cygwin, I plan to offer [ITP] for it:
cygport:
https://github.com/cz6ace/cygwin-python-fasteners
build:
https://github.com/cz6ace/cygwin-python-fasteners/releases
Need to support python3/39 now: see python package cygports in
cygwin-packages repos as above!
Python standard library provides a lock for threads (both a reentrant
one, and a non-reentrant one, see below). Fasteners extends this, and
provides a lock for processes, as well as Reader Writer locks for both
threads and processes.
This library (in newer version) is also present in LInux distributions,
e.g. Ubuntu:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/focal/s390x/python-fasteners
