Dear Cygwin,

I am a fan of Bison and Flex. The current version of Bison on Cygwin is
from 2015. Can someone update it?

the maintainer is still around. Eric ?


I am interested in trying to update it myself. Is their a tutorial for that?

https://cygwin.com/packaging-contributors-guide.html

for what I see from the source package it was a vanilla build.
If it is not changed it should be enough to download the

 bison-3.0.4-1-src.tar.xz

file, extract the bison.cygport, update to latest version 3.7.6
and run it with cygport

 cygport bison.cygport download all check


Thank you,
Song


Regards
Marco
