If no one has stepped forward, I'd be willing to try and maintain the bash package. Unfortunately, I know nothing about the whole process, and the Packages page confuses me, so you'll have to guide me along gently.
Here's what I've done so far:
* Download the bash-3.0 source * Built it successfully
I don't know what to do with the patches that I find in the
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-3.0-patches/
folder. How do you apply patches for GNU source? I know it is more of a GNU question, but it is a step to getting the Cygwin package done, so I'm hoping for some help. I don't see any mention in any of the files found in the bash src folder on how to apply patches.
BTW, the source package downloaded for the current Bash-2.05 does not, in fact, build "out of the box". Not sure if that matters or not. I get a complaint about redfined gethostname.
