As the (hopefully) incoming maintaner: yes, I'm very much hoping this will become the version provided by the setup*.exes. There are still a few checks I want to run in the name of being sure I'm not making anything worse, and some other details to iron out, but I am making progress. If you (or anyone else) wants to help speed things along, there're a few tests you can do; I'm planning on doing these but if someone else can it'll save me the time: - Install git-cvs and the assorted dependencies mentioned in its setup.hint, and verify you can clone the Cygwin CVS repository. I've not managed to do this without hitting errors, but I suspect that's because I'm using the tool incorrectly. - Install minimal packages (Base + the dependencies listed in the setup.hint files) and check that the basic functionality works. These all need to be done on both x86 and x86_64. Since this is still an unsupported package, to avoid list spam, please let me know off-list. I'll summarize anything relevant to the list as appropriate. (Incidentally, Alexander: please don't include other folks' email addresses in your replies.
