Hi!

----

I'd like to take ownership of the Cygwin "libnfs" package (see email
below, the package is old and has bugs related to NFSv4.*) ...
... how do we proceed ? Should I send a patch here, or what do I have to do ?

----

Bye,
Roland

If you look near the upper right corner of that page, you'll see
"ORPHANED".  See also

   https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/libnfs-src.html .

That means there is no maintainer.  So someone needs to volunteer to
maintain it before it will get updated.  Are you interested in doing
this?  If so, start at

   https://cygwin.com/packages.html

and ask for help on the cygwin-apps mailing list if you run into problems.

Ken
