Hi! ----
I'd like to take ownership of the Cygwin "libnfs" package (see email below, the package is old and has bugs related to NFSv4.*) ... ... how do we proceed ? Should I send a patch here, or what do I have to do ? ---- Bye, Roland ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ken Brown <kbr...@cornell.edu> Date: Fri, Mar 22, 2024 at 4:36 PM Subject: Re: Updating cygwin "libnfs" package ?

See also https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/libnfs-src.html . That means there is no maintainer. So someone needs to volunteer to maintain it before it will get updated. Are you interested in doing this? If so, start at https://cygwin.com/packages.html and ask for help on the cygwin-apps mailing list if you run into problems.
