It was, but it just hit rawhide a few days ago. I do have an update to 5.0.8 -- released upstream the very same day -- in the queue, but given the new features, I'm planning on letting it get some more testing first. There's also the issue of assuring that setup*.exe can handle parallel-compressed .tar.xz, as there was previously an issue with pbzip2 parallel compression. > or How do i identify who maintains a package for cygwin? to guess if the > maintainer is still active. https://cygwin.com/cygwin-pkg-maint Note that this is NOT an invitation to contact maintainers privately. -- Yaakov -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
