Package request: nnn file manager

Package request: nnn file manager

[Arun Prakash Jana]

Hi,

This is a request to package nnn - a full-featured file manager for
low-end devices and the regular desktop.

Homepage: https://github.com/jarun/nnn
License: BSD 2-Clause

It has very few dependencies and the indicative steps are here:
https://github.com/jarun/nnn/wiki/Developer-guides#compile-on-cygwin

I would highly appreciate if any maintainer can kindly take it up.

Regards,

Arun

Hi Marco,

I noticed your response now. Somehow I didn't receive a mail when you responded.

I would have loved to contribute but I do not have access to any
Windows system for personal usage. So I requested in this mailing list
if someone can pick it up.

Regards,

Arun

Cygwin packages are maintained by volunteers, generally because
they're maintaining packages they use themselves. If there were a
significant hole in the packages available that was causing problems
for Cygwin users, I can imagine one of the maintainers might look to
help, but I don't think anyone is going to take on maintaining a
package that we don't use personally and that we can see no particular
demand for.

For what it's worth, I took a quick look at your Cygwin installation
instructions. They reference a "copier" script at
https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/misc/clipboard-copier/copier,
but that's giving a 404 error for me.

Kind regards,

Adam

I understand. There were some user requests due to which we enabled
Cygwin support. Perhaps we will request the users. Thanks for the
relevant links.

This is automated now if with the respective program option. I have
updated the document. Thanks for letting me know!

Regards,

Arun
