With progress like that, I'm less than enthusiastic about handing over coreutils or bash. But if you want to post a test package for bash and/or coreutils, I'll at least review your packaging to see if it looks like you preserved all the cygwin-specific patches I already created, before deciding that handing over maintainership makes sense. --=20 Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --5CiqQq9TSbeAcptfueWvwf9nTEn3cR0CQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJTcmswAAoJEKeha0olJ0NqKqcH/2DmzOoksb6kRcJVNBD+za7M BI6BH5OE9v1J94q1KRBmgTKnWE8ToJ8fZXmNJcAQLvU4Dq/CzcZWvK9PNIvFc519 /vDffuFHZUebsgIpwNj4vLKlb4r4aO3q2pLrxXBO3cshKajaBZM4tDSKoMZLQRyk ZoP+B4OKNZxYo4eV94Jj1X55HvbG7e9/cNQhKfOd1W4O/QajezSXYo4nbb1Af3MR PXvAFyL7InJVO1AZgsvnr1XA24Knb4xoOTH1pp/zV7dW9M3ut3CJ5jobksJMDaTk j//z8imXgnuvPtzjm7v2GOHuRNDaYwbyRZL9E2LStCc2usV3wFUPibKqGJgB9EA= =6Vny -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --5CiqQq9TSbeAcptfueWvwf9nTEn3cR0CQ--
