Thank you for the update, and many thanks for your contributions to the
project over the years. Best of luck on your future endeavours.
I have taken libsigc2.0 as it is used by the GTKmm packages, and have
marked the others ORPHANED in cygwin-pkg-maint. Anyone who is
interested in maintaining any of these packages, please follow-up with
an ITA on cygwin-apps.
Andrew, I see that we already gave Chris a gold watch, but could you
find a couple more stars in your stash for Chris?

Thank you for all your work with Cygwin - I have used cppcheck quite a
lot over the years, and I really appreciated your efforts in maintaining
that package in particular.
Given that I use cppcheck quite a bit, I'd be happy to adopt it - I'll
look at packaging version 1.66 in the next couple of days.
Cheers,
Dave.

I could do hexedit.
I downloaded the source package, and was happy to see that you'd
cygported it already. It looks to be pretty rarely updated, which is
nice from a maintainership standpoint.
I have a couple of questions:
1. There doesn't seem to be a mailing list for the project at its home,
which is now http://rigaux.org/ (The cygport file gives an older URL.)
How do you learn about new releases?
2. I built it from the cygport, and the result seems to work, except
that the function keys aren't being interpreted correctly. Is this a
problem in MinTTY, in the terminal protocol I've selected (xterm-color),
or in hexedit? If the latter, I think I'm signing up to release a -2 to
fix it.
3. Is there a good reason for this to remain in the distro along with
bvi, other than "it's not vi"?

I suspect the updated rate is very very low for this time of sources.
(similar to bvi that is taking 10 years from 1.3.2 to 1.4.0 release
candidate)

that the last upstream version is already packed, so you can also do
nothing for the time being ?

I'm also somewhat interested in this one. I've never been a Korn shell
user, but I recently learned about mksh and its place in Bourne family
shell history. [1] Only a ksh93 package would be more valuable, but
until someone adopts that, I think mksh still has a place in Cygwin.
More questions:
1. Where is the source package? setup.exe doesn't offer it.
2. Have you cygported it yet? I built it from the official tarball, and
while it has a primitive non-Autotools build system, it looks compatible
with cygport.
3. Other than time, is there a reason you haven't released R50b yet? It
seems to pass its own test suite here, so if I adopt it, I'm committing
to releasing R50b shortly, unless there are traps I haven't discovered.
4. What do you think about replacing mksh in Cygwin with ksh93? It
seems OSS-enough to make Red Hat happy. [2]

It's definitely available on cygwin.com, and it's also mentioned in
setup.ini.

Yes, Chris cygported it already.

ksh93 comes with a compatibility layer lib called AST. I don't think
this lib has ever been ported to Cygwin 1.7. The last official binary
release for Cygwin is for 32 bit only, dated 2012-08-06. From the
README files in the sources I gather the latest Cygwin patch is from
2004, which is way back in the Cygwin 1.5 era. A quick scan of the
latest released source shows that AST still uses the pre-1.7 path
conversion functions which are not available on 64 bit Cygwin. There's
a bit of porting required I guess.

I suspect it was just a matter of time (or lack thereof).

We could ship both and just not have a ksh -> mksh symlink. But if you
do decide to build ksh93, then please be sure to add the Fedora
patchset, as there are a lot of fixes there.
