Over the weekend apt-cyg lost it's only active maintainer. Since I am working on other things now, this project is basically read-only. That means I won't be responding to bug reports or issues.
If you have a problem with apt-cyg:
- You might be able to fork it and fix it yourself, if you enjoy BASH programming
- Look for forks with an active maintainer, pick one that works for you, vote it up.
And now back to apt-cyg...
