I have however noticed that you have units in your cygports; would it be a terrible imposition of me to ask you to move it into the main cygwin release?
I wouldn't mind doing so on a one-time basis, but I'm not really looking to take over the package; as you note, I've got plenty else to deal with. Do you plan to continue maintaining units in the future?
PS, I think that most of ports could be moved now; the only reason not to that I could think of is disk space! You really do package a lot of packages!
Given the normal pace of the ITP process, moving *all* of Ports into the distro might take years. :-) But my short-term goal is remove the overlaps between the distro and Ports in order to simplify the installation procedure for Ports' users, see here for details:
