Thank you for reply. My first candidate is anthy. Original anthy projet has been inactive since 2009. But Debian forked it and made improvement and enhancement. So I would like to switch codebase to that of Debian. I just checked out cygwin anthy git repository and started working but I have one question. After project fork by Debian, release version scheme has changed. While latest version from original project (and one used by cygwin package) is "9100h", latest one from Debian is "0.4". That is, version number decreses if I chage codebase to Debian. I know that some packaging systems assume version number basically increases and that decrement causes package upgrade failure. So I would like to know if it also apply to Cygwin. And if it does then I also would like to know how it should be handled. Best Regards. --- Yasuhiro KIMURA
