I find sqlite3 and postgresql packages in cygwin is outdate, anyone can up it
to latest?
I would say postgresql is only lagging a few months because the maintainer is
busy with many other packages:
https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/postgresql-src.html
also, many new CLI tools should add to cygwin official repo e.g., `bun` :
https://github.com/oven-sh/bun
With ~1.9k open issues, 155 pending PRs, and ~100 releases in 2 years, wait for
it to stablize before looking at it.
Problem is most packages are not written to really be portable, including
ability to be cross-compiled, and languages especially are often written as
Ph.D. projects, or academic projects to provide a subject for papers and a book
by (a) professor(s), and abandoned once the developers get jobs or move away
from the originating institution.

also should add to cygwin official repo.
Feel free to port them, but if they don't use autotools or cmake, libtool, and
pkgconfig, expect a lot of work to get them running in the Cygwin environment.
See the reference to the person trying to port Rust needing to get LLVM 17
ported.
