I hereby volunteer to create and maintain a Cygwin package for NCO
(netCDF Operators), an extremely useful set of command-line utilities
for processing netCDF files.
Here is the Debian package page:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/nco
The authoritative source repository is now the one at GitHub.com:
https://github.com/nco/nco
The license is GPL
https://github.com/nco/nco/blob/master/LICENSE
I can build NCO from source and intend soon to construct a package
with cygport (which I have not used before).
Prerequisite packages include GSL, netCDF, OpenDAP and UDUnits, all of
which are available as Cygwin packages.
The only obstacle that I can see it that one of the utilities (ncap2)
needs to link to a specific, now-outdated version of the ANTLR
library, for which there is a copy of the source here:
http://dust.ess.uci.edu/nco/antlr-2.7.7.tar.gz
I don't think it would be a good idea to make a Cygwin package out of
that, so I need to work out how to build that along with NCO.

Hi Mark,
thanks for your offering; we wait your cygport and
packages for x86 and X86_64 for double check
before green light to upload.
In the past what annoyed me of the nco package is that you can only do
a static build of the common library due to a cross dependency
between the programs and the nco library.
This makes all programs larger than they should.
Feel free to ask any question on packaging here
Regards
Marco
