So I think I can commit to maintain the Cygwin package.This builds out of the box; I just pulled the packaging files from cygports (thanks!). Think it's worth adding to main distro though.
It's in most distros: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/pbzip2?_csrf_token=ad400067b7e05d4afe0cb7e74860399022796bce http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/pbzip2 http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=pbzip2 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/archivers/pbzip2/
category: Archive requires: libbz2_1 libgcc1 libstdc++6 sdesc: "Parallel BZIP2 de/compressor" ldesc: "PBZIP2 is a parallel implementation of the bzip2 block-sorting file compressor that uses pthreads and achieves near-linear speedup on SMP machines. The output of this version is fully compatible with bzip2."
If I get a green light I'll go ahead and upload the package from my laptop when I get a moment.Sure. Usually you ITP with URLs to the package files already. It's not so much a question of allowance, but of your intention to maintain a package in the Cygwin distro.

Thanks! I guess ultimately what I'm keen to know is whether this was a problem that is pbzip2's "fault" (and did bugs get submitted to them) or a problem that was purely setup.exe's "fault" or some other category...Separately, I'm curious what the upshot was on this earlier discussion of pbzip2 incompatibilities: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2011-03/msg00160.htmlI think that's fixed in setup. Jon applied a couple of patches to setup on 2011-04-08 which are related, AFAICS.
Best, P
