because they have merit? i said that already.

its fast in comparison to cygwin releases.

yes he does?

this is just patently false. while my builds may not be "blessed" by cygwin,
they are available for anyone to use, and have been for several years.

thats nice, but i think your "defense" is unwarranted. all i am asking here is
for at least yearly updates, even if in the form of "[test]" packages, of
important packages. for example, with these:

1. gcc-core
2. gcc-g++
3. mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core
4. mingw64-x86_64-gcc-g++

only 2 of the 4 would meet that criteria. as i was tired of waiting, i built 3
and 4 myself:

http://github.com/svnpenn/glade/tree/master/mingw-w64-x86-64/gcc

and to my surprise with the right options a build only takes about 15 minutes.
so its doesnt seem like a crazy request to me, to have a test build uploaded in
this case.

do i though? seriously i would like to know. i went through my posts on this
thread:

- http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-05/msg00086.html
- http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-05/msg00082.html
- http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-05/msg00076.html
- http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-05/msg00059.html

and i dont see a single insult that i have made. i might be critical of the
current state of certain packages, but i am not seeing insults here from my end.
take care.
