And having just had a look, it's not going to be straightforward to release virt-manager for Python3: it has several dependencies, including Gtk3, that are themselves not currently available for Cygwin. Volunteers to get that working would likely be well received! Package maintainer basics are at http://www.cygwin.com/packages.html, although I expect the key job would be getting the current code building on Cygwin; once it's built and working, the packaging steps are much more straightforward… -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
