Hi all ;) ) The ddrescue package has not been updated in cygwin since 2013. However, the underlying app has gone through a LOT of improvement since then, all the way through this month. Questions: * How best to request an update by the maintainer? * How hard for me to generate my own update? * Are multiple maintainers allowed for a package? Thanks!
