I'm not exactly sure what you're looking to do with lua, but there are a number of packages there. > Is there any value at all in building a package targeted for > the "official" Cygwin setup? Absolutely.

I've been focusing on the X11 upgrade recently. I'm aware that lua itself was bumped to 5.1.4; when you manage this many packages, it doesn't take long for things to pile up. Fortunately cygport makes it much easier. > PS.
