Hi cygwin member,

I find sqlite3 and postgresql packages in cygwin is outdate, anyone can up it to latest?

also, many new CLI tools should add to cygwin official repo.eg, `bun` :
https://github.com/oven-sh/bun

zig lang
nim lang
rust lang

The Rust project does not support build on cygwin (see 
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/79854).
Never heard of zig or nim.

Chiisaineko (Ookiineko?) san seems to be working on porting
Rust to cygwin.

I would say postgresql is only lagging a few months because the maintainer is 
busy with many other packages:

With ~1.9k open issues, 155 pending PRs, and ~100 releases in 2 years, wait for 
it to stablize before looking at it.

Problem is most packages are not written to really be portable, including 
ability to be cross-compiled, and languages especially are often written as 
Ph.D. projects, or academic projects to provide a subject for papers and a book 
by (a) professor(s), and abandoned once the developers get jobs or move away 
from the originating institution.

Feel free to port them, but if they don't use autotools or cmake, libtool, and 
pkgconfig, expect a lot of work to get them running in the Cygwin environment.

See the reference to the person trying to port Rust needing to get LLVM 17 ported.
