All,
A few years and a few jobs back, I picked up maintenance of a
couple of cygwin packages related to embedded system development.
Things have changed a lot in the past few years, and I find myself in
the position of not having a Windows system at home or at work that I
can use for cygwin development (nothing bad... just that my current
workplace uses Macs, and as my home Windows boxes have aged, they've
been replaced by Macs and Linux systems :-)
So, I'm putting the following packages up for adoption or
retirement. They're kind of old and crufty - no significant updates
in the past 3 years - and so might require a little bit of attention
to bring them up to date with the current state of the cygwin world.
There are others that might just be retired; it looks like util-linux,
for example, now provides a more up to date version of the cramfs
utilities.
If you're interested in taking over as maintainer of any of these
packages, or think that any of them should be retired, please speak up.
* cramfs
* e2fsimage
* e2fsprogs
* mtd
* nfs-server
* sunrpc
