GCC as an example is a fast updating package. and as "politically incorrect" as it might be, jon could be doing a better job in regards to velocity of release - at a minimum we should have test versions for GCC 7 and or 8 already for ALL arches and ALL targets. > I do not see a huge queue of volunteers, this is a false assumption - no one volunteers because a maintainer is already in place - thats like applying for a job that is filled - but if he vacated and corinna or whatever posted an "opening" - i am confident it would be filled quickly > and I do not see your maintaining efforts. not sure what you mean by this - no i havent maintained an official cygwin package - but i maintain several public facing cygwin packages: http://github.com/svnpenn/glade along with a Cygwin package manager: http://github.com/svnpenn/sage > This only show how ignorant you are about programming language and > their usage. Clearly you are not an engineer. id say the same to you - as you seen keen on throwing insults rather than links and examples - cheers. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
