Hi folks,
Eric Blake no longer seems to have free time available for Cygwin package
upgrades, so I would like to offer to co-maintain coreutils and provide
upgrades as they are now five years old.
Done. Thanks.
I would like to provide an upgrade to the final version 8 release 8.32,
initially as a TEST release, before working on the latest release 9.1.
Package sources and archives are available online at:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1z_giKv3QIUbYvSNOiTtMMr644v-wOG_k
and builds in playground from:
https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages/?p=git/cygwin-packages/playground.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/playground
Since it didn't already exists, I've created
git://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/coreutils.git using a new tool I've
been working on ('ctm2git') which synthesizes a git history of the
packaging for a package from the source package history in the CTM.
If that's not wanted, please let me know and I'll remove it.

The jobs appear to fail because some checks fail and return non-zero status.
Comparing checks between ciurrent and proposed releases and across
x86/_64/CI jobs, there appear to be fewer failures despite more tests.
All feedback is encouraged and gratefully received.
Thanks for picking up coreutils, which is not only by name a core
package.
I think this is at least worthy of a pink hippo ;)
