Update on Missing 64 bit packages...

Update on Missing 64 bit packages...

[cygwin]

Would it be possible to post an update of (still) missing 64 bit packages?

The last I saw was from 2 months ago and certainly great progress has
been made in winnowing down the list. Perhaps reposting would help
stimulate some focus on those that have yet to be ported.

Some of the missing packages are pretty basic *nix stuff like 'procps'
(includes among other things 'top' and pgrep/pkill). In particular,
pgrep/pkill are fundamental building blocks to many scripts...

Others are perhaps less common or critical...

You can see what's available at http://cygwin.com/packages/

A list of missing packages is periodically posted to the apps list.  The
maintainers know that they have to eventually release packages.  Sending
something here isn't likely to spur them to work harder.

Isn't it just a copy of this list, which is continually updated?

Yes but that doesn't change my point.  The OP's rationale for wanting
this posted here is not really valid.
