I never used Singular so my interest to update it was always very limited; last time it was mean Yue Ren to take care and I to just help him https://sourceware.org/pipermail/cygwin-announce/2015-May/006150.html but he never followed up on following releases. About Singular last package build, the main issue in my opinion is that the dynamic loading of "module" was transformed by Yue in a static implementation. I was trying to enable the dynamic loading but he preferred to go for the current solution. So I suspect the old patches could need an adjustment for the latest 4.2.1p2 source code. > Thanks for all the packaging effort. --Samuel If you are really interested on taking over Singular maintainership we can follow up by private mail.
