Hi Rafel, Cygwin package maintainers are all volunteers, and the best way to get something included as a Cygwin package is almost certainly to package it yourself. There's a guide to doing so at https://cygwin.com/packaging-contributors-guide.html#submitting If you're not proposing to maintain the package yourself then, as with all open source projects, we have the issue that someone has to do it, and clearly nobody thus far has been sufficiently motivated to do the work themselves until now. Sometimes this sort of request will be sufficient for a volunteer to step forwards, but the best way to get something done is often to do it yourself=E2=80=A6
