Thanks, but right now we are lacking a maintainer for the inetutils package. Is maintainance for a Cygwin package something you might be interest in? If so, have a look at https://sourceware.org/cygwin/setup.html and https://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/package-upload.html Thanks, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
