First time contribution, hold my hand please!
For a first attempt, I selected `nano` as my victim (the lack of
reverse deps means I won't do too much damage today).
Last version: 4.9 (2020.03.24)
This: 8.0 (2024.05.01)
The latest available is 8.4, but starting with 8.1 there's a problem
(gettext?) to build it. I propose to proceed with this
bump-that-just-works and discuss that build issue in a later thread
(meaning I didn't sort it out on my own).
I refreshed the cygport file based on what seems to be the latest
practice, then `cygport all`, and it seems to be functional. Patch
inline below.
Thanks very much for looking into updating this package. It's certainly
in need of it!
What to do next? I found a recent thread about just that, and the
generous details you contributed will spare you repeating yourselves,
to a certain extent.
1. send in a separate thread new public SSH key (easier for the
keymaster to scoop it up I think)
Done.
I also added nano to your packages.
2. your feedback whether GTG
GTG from me.
3. git/use build server - I'll ask if something unclear.
Good luck!
In future, if you could please attach patches to emails, that makes them
easier to use.
