That is the reason why I became maintainer for several packages. However, I'm lazy and have not enough spare time to always build a package when there is an update available, so I appreciate that there are other maniacs doing the same. I use official Cygwin builds to build release packages, though. If there are problems building a new package, the first resource is LFS or BLFS of course, what else? So besides LFS is missing some basic Cygwin packages it is already the best guide available when building new packages. Just rename it;) BTW, do you know which was the last version of gcc which could be build without having gcc already handy?
