May be there is a maintainer >tutorial and/or FAQ? Or something like a mentoring program for new >maintainers? This is one of those situations where a certain amount of core competence is required. If you are not really familiar with the concept of building packages (especially a package as presumably large and complicated as emacs) you might want to think twice about what you're volunteering to do. How can you possibly maintain and support a package if you don't have any idea about how to build it? How are you going to deal with bug reports? I'm *really* not trying to be mean here. I'm just trying to make sure that you understand what you're getting into. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
