Requesting a new version of GNU ddrescue

Requesting a new version of GNU ddrescue

Hello,

I would like to request that GNU ddrescue 1.25 be packages for Cygwin. I
would be happy to produce this package if that would be appropriate -
I'd like to start with a simpler package before moving on to wxwidgets
and wxpython.

So, I went ahead and made a package, and it's available at
https://www.hamishmb.com/files/cygwin-temp/.

Does anyone mind checking for me that I've done this right, just so I
can get the technique down before I try to package anything complicated?

Thanks. That package appears to be built correctly.

The maintainer of record for ddrescue is Christian Franke, who still 
appears to be active.

Christian?

ddrescue 1.25 is already on my TODO list. I will release it soon after 
some more testing.
